The Ted-Amanda chemistry in Suits LA is fun to watch but where can it go from here?

Ted Black and Amanda Stevens’ dynamics have become one of the highlights of Suits LA. Amid all the high-stakes cases, their constant banter provides a humorous relief and hints at a potential relationship.

Ever since their first interaction, there has been unmissable chemistry between the two. With their poles-apart personalities, Ted and Amanda complement each other, making their conversations entertaining.

While their scenes have been fun to watch so far, Suits LA creators might be setting up a bigger plot involving the two, which was evident in episode 5. In a dream sequence, Ted kissed Amanda and was confused between her and his ex-girlfriend, Samantha. This signals a possible love triangle going forward, which could make up for an interesting subplot.

How Ted and Amanda’s chemistry in Suits LA hints at a potential love triangle?

Sparks are evident between Ted and Amanda during their very first meeting in the Suits LA episode 1. Amanda is a pro bono lawyer who operates from the Black & Associates office building but is not directly involved in the firm’s functioning.

During her first encounter with Ted, she makes it clear that she is answerable to no one and is only working at his office to uplift the image of his firm. Ted is almost impressed by Amanda’s strong personality and quick-witted replies.

As the show progresses, Ted and Amanda keep bumping into one another and have some fun interactions with each trying to one-up the other. Their professional relationship takes a turn due to Elizabeth Smith, the prosecutor in Lester Thompson’s case.

Elizabeth has been giving Ted a hard time, and comes across Amanda in his office. The two women share a history as they were involved in a case previously, where Elizabeth’s actions led to the death of an innocent man.

Amanda is furious with Elizabeth and does not want another man to suffer the same fate as her previous client, so she decides to team up with Ted as a defense attorney for Lester. As the two spend more time together, they start to open up to each other, forming a close bond.

Meanwhile, Ted is also stuck on his ex-girlfriend Samantha. The two shared a healthy relationship in 2010, which turned sour, and they broke up. Things become even more complicated in the present as Samantha partners up with Stuart Lane to form a new firm and cuts Ted out of the deal.

However, Ted still has a professional relationship with Samantha, and the two often have conversations about their past. Ted now has two potential romantic partners: Amanda and Samantha.

Suits LA makes this plot point quite evident in episode 5 as Ted has a weird dream where he is willing to kiss both Amanda and Samantha and is unable to choose between them.

In the same episode, however, Amanda and Ted’s relationship goes through a hard time. When the pro bono attorney finds out that Ted was blindsiding her on Lester’s case, she decides to quit the case and tells Ted she does not trust him anymore.

The continuously changing dynamics between Ted and Amanda, and Samantha’s presence in the lead’s life, point toward a love triangle between the three. It will be interesting to see if Ted and Samantha let go of their past to rekindle their romance, or if Ted and Amanda go for a fresh start, building their relationship from scratch.

So far, the show has heavily focused on Lester’s murder trial, along with some light-hearted entertainment cases. A romantic subplot involving Ted, Amanda, and Samantha would add another dimension to the narrative, keeping the viewers hooked.

New episodes of Suits LA are aired on NBC on Sunday.
