Suits LA Season 1, Episode 1 Recap
The firm is discussing merging with another company, and after a bit of wavering, Ted decides to sign on the dotted line with Stuart to move forward with the merger. This means that Samantha’s crew will be moving into the building soon. Rick approaches Ted about becoming the head of Entertainment, but Rick informs him that he and Erica are battling for the job and isn’t sure which way he will go.
What did Stuart take from Rick?
Ted receives a call from Rick informing him that everyone on the 25th floor of the firm is gone, including every senior member of every department except Sports and Entertainment. Ted realizes Stuart took all of his employees. Instead of calling and reporting it, Ted wants to keep it low because the firm will be in trouble.
Rick confronts Stuart and realizes instead of signing a paper for the merger, he signed an agreement to give him all the employees. Stuart refuses to work with Rick because of his selfish nature, thinking the company revolves around him. Stuart threatens Rick that he will reveal why he left New York if he comes after him.
Stuart calls Erica to attempt to poach her for information, and in return, he promises to make her Head of Entertainment. He pushes further, saying Ted would never put her in charge. Erica uses this to approach Rick about his giving her the job, and she doesn’t budge. Afterward, she approaches Ted, who tells her he promised Rick the job. Ultimately, he tells Rick he plans to make them co-head of Entertainment.
Erica’s assistant, Leah, wants a promotion because she doesn’t feel seen by her. Because of her one-on-one with Rick, Erica tells Leah the plan of working with Stuart behind Ted’s back. Leah takes the opportunity to spurn Erica and get a promotion and tells Ted. However, Erica did this to see if she could trust Leah, and we discovered that Rick was playing Ted the entire time. Ted finds a note from Rick stating he is leaving the company.
Who does Ted make Head of Entertainment?
Later that night, Ted sits down to talk with Erica about making her the Head of Entertainment. She pushes back, saying that she wants more, including becoming a partner, and Ted agrees. Ted asks why Erica stayed with him instead of leaving like Rick; she responds, “Because I believe in you over Stuart.”
