When does Harvey Specter return in Suits LA?

Harvey Specter returns in Suits LA episode 4. The episode will be aired on NBC on March 16, 2025, at 9 PM ET/PT. This marks the attorney’s first of many planned appearances in the first season of the spin-off series.

Ever since the episode 4 title was revealed to be Batman Returns, fans were expecting to see Harvey’s return in it. NBC has confirmed that the title would live up to the expectation by releasing a small preview for the upcoming episode.

The teaser showcases Ted Black sitting at a bar with his brother Eddie when Harvey joins them and orders his favorite drink. Harvey then asks Ted if he would like to play with him or against him, hinting that he could be talking about both baseball and the courtroom.

The official logline for the episode also hints that Ted will be meeting with an ‘old friend’ seeking his help on a dangerous case:

“Ted and Erica take on Samantha to save Lester’s movie, but the battle may hurt his murder trial. Rick enlists Stuart’s help when a difficult actor is arrested. In the past, the danger of going against a mob boss sends Ted to an old friend.”

It remains to be seen whether Harvey’s appearance in the episode will be limited to flashbacks or whether he will arrive on the West Coast in the present to reunite with his old friend.

Meanwhile, Suits LA already established the connection between Harvey and Ted in the second episode, revealing they used to play baseball together and Ted liked Harvey for his cockiness.

“If I [could have] anything to do with helping support the show and getting it off [the ground], it’s almost like [giving] a blessing.”

Meanwhile, Harvey will not be the only Suits veteran to be seen in Suits LA, as Rick Hoffman has also been confirmed to be appearing in the spin-off as another fan favorite, Louis Litt.

However, NBC has not yet announced in which episode Louis will appear. Meanwhile, fans are eager to watch a reunion between Harvey and Louis, which would surely ‘Litt up’ the show.
