The second episode of Suits LA wastes no time dialing up the pressure cooker. “Old Man Hanrahan” finds Ted in a bind, leaning on Amanda for help with a particularly thorny prosecutor in Lester’s murder trial. Their already fraught dynamic gets another twist as they grapple with this latest legal hurdle.
Meanwhile, back at the firm, the gloves come off as Erica and Rick lock horns over a client. Erica, ever the strategist, pulls out all the stops to prevent Rick from poaching, reminding us that even in sunny LA, the Suits universe thrives on cutthroat competition. Adding fuel to the fire, Stuart and Samantha find themselves at odds over Rick’s place within the firm. Could this signal a crack in their usually united front?
Finally, a flashback reveals Ted’s quick thinking in a past trial where a key witness vanished. It’s a glimpse into the kind of improvisational legal maneuvering that made the original Suits so addictive.
Suits LA airs Sundays at 9:00 PM ET/PT on NBC.
