I enjoyed this episode - I LOVED the Roy and Jamie stuff - there were parts I was laughing out loud. "What's that thing where a man's willy won't get hard? I feel that in my soul." And whenever Sam is on screen he just has the biggest grin and I love it. LOVED the Beard stuff... and I'm actually satisfied with the Nate arc. Don't normally like Jade so much, but she had some great lines: Go and wait somewhere that's not here. I don't think Jade is only interested in Nate the wealthy manager - I think she just hated having her work disrupted by someone who was taking the job way more seriously than she was. I'm sad that it's coming to an end. This season has had some really awful episodes, but there have been some redeeming ones. I don't think any spinoffs can work.

One thing I found interesting is that apple lists next week’s episode as season finale. Not series

Nate's redemption arc feels rushed. I'm not opposed to it but it's too soon and definitely feels unearned.

Nate's redemption arc feels rushed. I'm not opposed to it but it's too soon and definitely feels unearned. This is how I felt too. I don’t mind it but did feel a little rushed. I’m sad this series is (maybe?) almost over. I want to start it over.

I really love the Roy/Jamie/Keeley parts of this one. When Jamie loses it in the boot room and Roy is caught completely off guard... Well done. I like how Jamie's story seems to be wrapping up.
When the guys came in to the restaurant and Nate tried to introduce Jade but she'd left, our neighbor goes, "What if she's been a figment of Nate's imagination this whole time?" And we really spiraled out on some stupid theories. I might like that Nate story better. Though I didn't hate his talk with Beard.

*snip*I don't think Jade is only interested in Nate the wealthy manager - I think she just hated having her work disrupted by someone who was taking the job way more seriously than she was. *snip* I don't think any spinoffs can work. Jade had him fired because otherwise he never would have taken the Richmond job back. It was the best/fastest way to push him towards what he really wants vs being comfortable but unfulfilled. And I agree, spin-offs probably won’t work. But would I love a couple of Christmas specials with the whole cast?! YES PLEASE.

I don’t remember who said it but Ted has 10000% lost his spark and I think maybe that’s the point. He needs to go home. He ran away to escape his divorce and the failure of the “perfect” life he built. He never came to terms with his dad’s suicide and instead just became a shiny, happy person. Teds time in Richmond led to a lot of growth and processing but it’s not going to be complete until he can be a healed person at home, with his son.

I love the version of Home in the end credits. One of my favorite songs. I think he's definitely leaving.

I think it would take something drastic and wildly unrealistic, like Michelle moving there with their son, for him to stay. I’m okay with it ending with him leaving.
I did not dislike the episode last night overall but the relationship between Jamie and his mom was a little weird. 😬😂 “Oedipal” Maybe the theme was to show different kinds of moms. She was definitely different. With the head resting on her boob and him touching her knee…
I did like that You’ve Got Mail was included, given that one of the episodes earlier this season had that as a running gag. And the look between Rebecca and Sam. Oof.
I did not fully buy the “Beard was in prison” thing, but maybe I was just grumpy because of the Nate redemption arc.
Biggest guffaw of the episode for me was when the door closed in Jamie’s room to reveal the bearded throwback Roy Kent poster. Just my random, disjointed thoughts.

I do not understand why they made the choices they did with Jamie and his mom. It didn’t explain anything about Jamie and it wasn’t funny. Very strange choice.
Otherwise the episode had some good moments. I loved Jamie’s storyline on the field, and the win was fun to watch. The Roy-Keely-Jamie scenes were great.

I would love to see a Keely spinoff on her own. Not soccer related, just her doing her own thing in London. Roy and Rebecca could have a guest appearance from time to time. Maybe that explains the weird storylines with Jack and whatever her friends name was that seemed pointless at the time. Maybe they were being introduced for some other reason.

They have teased Beard’s past. He said he would follow him anywhere, that he owes him his life and that Ted saved him from a a Topeka meth den.
I didn’t mind the Zava storyline. It is what gave us Roy and Jaime’s friendship.

I was actually ok with Ted being a bit of a side character this season, because he would never go back to the states without making sure everyone was in a good place. It took time to show that everyone was getting to a place where Ted would feel ok leaving.

So. This one was not bad. I liked: - the deep stuff with Ted and his mom and the "thank you/fuck you" convo. The deep feels stuff we used to get from the show. The whole dynamic with his mom was amusing. - Ted is obviously going back home, and I think that's the right thing. Tons of Wizard of Oz references, Kansas, etc - OMG Rebecca is so hot - Jamie and Roy. Pretty much anything they do or say has me wheezing - Loved getting Beard's backstory - Jamie is cute, though oedipal, with his mom. For some reason I thought she was dead. Also, he's a millionaire athlete, why hasn't he bought her a house? Maybe she likes where she is. - The quick clip of Jamie's dad in rehab was heartwarming. - That end scene with Bex and Ms. Kakes was promising. For my Succession cross over people, it felt like the wives and mistresses sitting together at the funeral lol Dislikes: - So half the team got red carded because they were so angry at Nate and now some random off-screen convo and they all want him back? Uh. - It kind of felt like we missed an episode or something - Same with several of the episodes, but Ted just lost his spark this season. I don't know if it was what Jason was going through personally, or he was in over his head without Bill Lawrence or what, but he felt like a side character the entire time. - Jade is a weird character. My husband thinks she's not interested in Nate unless he's a wealthy manager. Hard to tell for sure. It will be interesting to see how it all wraps up next week. My prediction is that Ted will go home, Beard will stay, Roy will take over as head coach with Nate and Beard as assistants. Roy and Keeley are together. Rebecca.....? OK BUT ROY AND KEELY AREN'T TOGETHER!! WTF WAS THAT??!!

We have MLS 360 on and they clearly just prompted next week's "season 3 finale" of Ted Lasso
Is it happening? Is the show carrying on?

Why are they still in this weird friend zone??? Honestly? I think she's moved on. Moved on in the sense that she doesn't feel that way about him anymore. I really hope I'm wrong but she seemed about to try to let Roy down gently when Jamie came in the room. Her expression looked apologetic more than anything. Again, I really hope I'm wrong because I think those two work well together.
