In a clip from the upcoming episode, Harvey meetsStephen Amell’s character Ted Black at a bar. Black tells the bartender they’ll take two beers, but Specter quickly corrects him and orders three glasses of Macallan 25.

“Harvey Specter, nice to meet you,” he says, extending his hand to Ted.

Harvey then asks him, “You want to play with me, or would you like to play against me?”

Ted replies, “Oh, you think I couldn’t take you?” which prompts a laugh from Specter.

According to the fourth episode’s official logline, “In the past, the danger of going against a mob boss sends Ted to an old friend.”

Machtconfirmedthe return of his character in the spinoff in an Instagram post in November. He channeled Specter with a shirt with “H.S.” stitched into the cuff and “Harvey” printed in the soles of his shoes.

“When an old friend is in need… it’s time to take care of things and make those very ‘things’ right,” he wrote in the caption.

In January, the actor opened up to PEOPLE abouthis decision to join the spinoff. “I’m just doing it for the fans. I’m not doing it for me. I’ve done it 134 times. I’m not doing it for me,” he said, adding he had “very little interest in coming back to work as an actor.”

He decided to acceptcreator Aaron Korsh’s offer so he “could sort of pass the baton toStephen [Amell]and the cast inL.A.”

“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,” he said of his thought process.
