What Happens To Louis At The End Of Suits

What happens to Louis Litt in Suits is that he finally gained autonomy in the firm - now named Litt, Wheeler, Williams, and Bennett. After the Faye Richardson debacle and wedding to Donna (Sarah Rafferty), Harvey left the corporate world and moved to Seattle. He reunited with Mike (Patrick J. Adams) and Rachel (Meghan Markle), and they began taking on class-action lawsuits. Louis was initially against the idea, perhaps because they've only finally figured out a professional relationship that's not contentious. He eventually accepted the change and geared up for a firm where he's truly number one.

With his professional status elevating to new heights with his own firm to run, Louis' personal life was also shaping up to his advantage. Who does Louis end up with in Suits? After a love-at-first-sight type of affair, his relationship with Sheila (Rachel Harris) went through a rocky patch, which included a lengthy break-up that led to her almost marrying someone else. But they ultimately found their way back to each other, and not only did Sheila and Louis end up married, but they also had a daughter - something that Louis had always dreamed about.

Why Louis' Ending Is The Best On Suits

As odd as Louis Litt could be, it'll be hard-pressed to find loyal Suits fans who were against where his story ended in the finale of the legal drama. While he occasionally stepped over the line, it didn't help his insecurities that he was also pitted against everyone's favorite, Harvey. He was an amazing lawyer, with a great eye for detail, and if it wasn't for him, the firm wouldn't have survived this long.

So overall, he truly deserves every good thing that came his way during the Suits series finale. For Rick Hoffman's Louis on Suits, he clearly had the best ending of anyone in the Suits finale.

Harvey left the firm after some disappointments and found a new calling in Seattle with his friend Mike, but that hadn't originally been his dream. He also had his wedding, which was great for his ending on the show. However, Louis Litt also got married and had a daughter, which was something he always dreamed about. His goal was always to find respect at the firm, and with his name first, that was another dream that came true. Harvey and Mike made the best of what life threw at them. However, on Suits, Louis Litt's dreams came true.
