Suits LA Episode 11 recap: Amanda and Erica help Sierra reconcile with her father

Sierra Carson, a teen star, has been accused of hitting her father with an award, which led to his hospitalization. The teenager says she is done with her father’s controlling nature, who has stopped her from signing on a film which he thinks is inappropriate for her age. She also believes her dad is stealing her money.

As Amanda prepares for the trial, the court rejects her plea to let Sierra access her finances due to her age, and the attorney is forced to treat the case as pro bono. When Ted finds out about it, he proposes to have Erica as Sierra’s entertainment lawyer so that the firm can have at least some monetary benefit from the client.

The prosecutors want Sierra to be treated as an adult and charged with attempted murder, which would mean prison for the teen. Hoping that Sierra would be emancipated if she wins the case, Amanda agrees to her being tried as an adult.

However, when she learns that the prosecutors are filing murder charges, she arranges a meeting between Sierra and her father. While the actress claims her father is toxic, who only cares about her finances, Erica makes her understand that he is just looking out for her, leading to a reconciliation between the two and the charges being dropped.

Suits LA Episode 11 recap: Patton Oswalt has an unusual request for Ted

Patton Oswalt returns in Suits LA Episode 11, and wants to sign a contract for an action film without any specific demands against Ted’s wishes. However, he once again meets The Office’s Brian Baumgartner, and the two get into an altercation, hurling insults at each other.

Brian says Patton is a comic actor who has been offered an action film only for humor, without any actual contribution to the plot. This affects Patton deeply, and he asks Ted to include a clause in his contract stating he would do his stunts for the film.

While Ted tries to convince him to drop the plan by showing him an animation depicting the extreme stunts, Patton says he is willing to take the risk, as he does not want to feel afraid of being a performer.

With flashback scenes, it is revealed that Patton had met Ted in 2010 during Stuart’s bachelor party. During the party, a bully tried to mess with Eddie, after which Patton tried to protect him. Ted ultimately punched down the bully.
