Contains spoilers for “Suits: L.A.” Season 1, Episode 9 — “Bat Signal”

It’s been quite some time that the fans of “Suits” last saw the character Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht). Yet, his appearance in “Bat Signal” brings a pleasant surprise to Ted Black’s (portrayed by Stephen Amell) world, despite their previous parting which occurred under tense conditions. In the past, Ted was the attorney handling the racketeering case of mob boss John Pellegrini (Anthony Azizi), but Harvey’s unexpected testimony dismantled the entire case. Over time, Harvey and Ted have developed a friendship and they reunite for a drink and conversation when they learn that Pellegrini is about to be released. This encounter provides viewers with insights into what Harvey has been up to recently.

To start off, my marriage to Donna Paulsen, the lovely lady I met during Season 8 of “Suits,” is going swimmingly. You can spot a wedding ring on my left hand throughout our chat. Then, while I’m engrossed in our conversation, I get a flurry of texts from a contact labeled as “My Boy” on my phone. This mysterious person refers to me affectionately as “daddy” during their exchange with me.

I’d be happy to share some exciting news with you, Ted – our family just grew! Yes, that’s right, my little partner-in-crime, Donna, and I have welcomed a new member: a little boy! As for his name, well, Ted, it seems you’re out of luck on that one. I’ve given him a name that might ring a bell – Kevin, just like Troy Winbush’s character. It appears Harvey Specter is not the same man he used to be in “Suits,” but things between Donna and me are going stronger than ever. Unfortunately, though, we’ve had some sad news within our family, as loss has paid a visit to the Specters.

Harvey’s brother has died

As Harvey discusses the painful grief he experienced with Ted upon learning about his brother Marcus’s passing from cancer, he inadvertently mentions that Ted too has suffered a similar loss with the demise of his own sibling Eddie. The memory of Eddie continues to haunt Ted as a symbol of his inner conscience, making it difficult for him to provide Harvey with a consoling response about easing the pain of loss.

Throughout the episode, the old friends successfully outsmart their criminal adversary, resulting in Pellegrini’s return to prison after he confesses to ordering a murder. The character Marcus’ departure, however, mirrors a tragic reality. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to Billy Miller, who played Marcus and many other roles during his career. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 43 on September 15, 2023, with no cause of death disclosed. “Suits L.A.” paid a touching homage to an actor whose life was cut short prematurely.
