Is there a future for Derrick and Yoli?

When she thanked him for helping her with her mother, she kissed him. However, in the finale, she denied that it meant anything. But if there’s a Season 2, there will clearly be more to that.

What’s next for Keri, career-wise?

Keri took a new job at a law firm, but the FBI also showed up at her door with questions near the end of the finale. Could that change her career path moving forward?

3. Jessica Pearson & Jeff Malone

Honestly, Jessica should just be No. 1 because this woman found the perfect kind of love—for herself—and gave us the supreme level of Boss Bitch perfection before that horrible term ever existed. As one of the founding and name partners of the continually name-changing firm, La Pearson was regal, quick-witted, and not afraid to put her neck out to win a case or save her staff’s hide. So it takes a formidable man to meet her energy and Jeff Malone (D.B. Woodside) checked all of the boxes. Handsome as hell, pretty moral and surprisingly tolerant of her devotion to a team that was in crisis on a weekly basis, Jessica’s romance with the former prosecutor for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ebbed and flowed over the course of the show, eventually firming up during their short-lived time together in the Chicago-set Pearson spinoff.

Will Jessica be able to fix the mayor’s mess?

In the final scene of the season, Jessica revealed to Bobby that she knew he, not his brother (who was about to turn himself in for the crime), killed Tommy Deal. “You brought me in to fix your McGann problem, and now that I know what it is, I say we get to work,” she told him. But what will it take to make that happen?

Is Jessica going to be done being the mayor’s “errand girl”?

Jessica told Bobby she’d help him with his McGann problem, but added, “I fix this mess for you, I’m done being your errand girl.” That will probably be easier said than done, especially depending on what it takes to fix his mess.

Will anyone from Suits join Jessica in Chicago?

With Suits ending after nine seasons, we can’t help but wonder if any of the other characters will make the move to the Windy City. Jessica’s reached out to her friends during Season 1, but if there’s a second season, why not have someone appear in at least one episode?

The first season of the Suits spinoff, Pearson, has come to an end, and it’s left us with quite a few questions.

USA Network has yet to announce if it will return for a second season, but considering things weren’t wrapped up in a neat bow for any of the characters and Jessica’s (Gina Torres) original series is coming to an end, we’re hopeful we’ll see more of Chicago’s politics. After all, the Season 1 finale ended with Jessica taking on quite the difficult task!
