Warning: SPOILERS for the Fits LA episode “Seven Days a Week and Twice on Sunday” are forward!
If you happen to’ve watched Fits, be when it was airing on USA Community or getting in on the present because it blew up on Netflix, you understand that present was full of conflicts and altering allegiances. One minute two of the starring characters is likely to be one of the best of pals, and the subsequent they’d be at odds over some type of disagreement or revelation. Fits LA actually wasted no time doing that with its premiere episode on the 2025 TV schedule, however in an attention-grabbing twist, Erica Rollins, performed by Lex Scott Davis, ended up siding with Stephen Amell’s Ted Black somewhat than Josh McDermitt’s Stuart Lane. Whereas this transfer might have shocked some, if not most viewers, Davis defined to CinemaBlend why she didn’t really feel that means when she first learn the scene.
Sure, somewhat than comply with function Stuart’s mole inside Ted Black’s legislation agency in alternate for a soft job over at a unique legislation agency, Erica as a substitute determined to remain loyal to Ted given his longtime religion in her. I requested Lex Scott Davis how she reacted upon studying this within the Fits LA pilot script, and he or she answered:
You already know, I am truly not shocked by her sticking round. I knew that she was loyal. I knew that she was combating for one thing, and her and Ted may not all the time see eye to eye, however I additionally consider that he sees her and her worth and for who she really is within the workspace. So when issues have been have been being pulled aside, I actually consider it was a no brainer for Erica to stay round. I do know we performed with ‘will she or will not she’ somewhat bit and the way we offered it, however I am not shocked that she’s caught by him.
The primary chunk of Fits LA’s first episode (which can be streamable with a Peacock subscription) noticed Ted lastly signing an settlement to merge the legislation agency he and Stuart had been working collectively for over a decade with the agency run by Samantha, Ted’s former romantic associate. Nonetheless, after an evening of celebrating with Stuart, Ted was awoken by a cellphone name from Bryan Greenberg’s Rick Dodsen informing him that Stuart had taken each senior member of each division besides sports activities and leisure with him over to Samantha’s legislation agency. Stuart hid this selection within the settlement that Ted signed as revenge for his former pal badmouthing him throughout the merger talks.
Including insult to harm, Stuart known as Eric and advised her that if she stayed at Ted’s legislation agency and agreed to spy on him for six months, he’d convey him over to Samantha’s legislation agency and make her head of leisure. However Erica in the end turned down that supply and determined to stay with Ted. As Lex Scott Davis famous to me, Stephen Amell’s character noticed her worth stretching again to her first month t the agency. Again then, Stuart felt that they need to solely be giving her numerous shoppers, however Ted felt she may deal with any sorts of shoppers thrown her means, they usually’d see if she would sink or swim. Ted was positive it’d be the latter, saying, “I’d lay 100 to 1 this one swims, and I’d do it seven days every week and twice on Sundays.”
With that vote of confidence, Erica Rollins determined to stay with Ted Black amidst this messy separation, and now she’s the top of leisure at this agency. That wasn’t all the time the plan, as initially Rick Dodsen was lined up for the job. Nonetheless, not eager to grow to be as ruthless as Ted, and taking problem with him being prepared to defend an actor accused of homicide named Lester Thompson, Rick determined to hitch Stuart Lane on the different agency. With Rick now gone, Erica should now show that she’s a greater match for the job even when he had caught round.
We’ll see how Erica Rollins does now in her new place and, in a change of tempo for her, choosing a aspect earlier than realizing who’s going to win, as new episodes of Fits LA premiere Sundays at 9 pm ET on NBC. If you happen to’d wish to revisit the unique Fits, it stays accessible with a Netflix subscription and may also be discovered on Peacock.
