The "shite in nining armour" was so random too. Unless it's a red herring and not the real shite.

I’m struggling too. It’s not as funny and it feels a bit hollow. No one is acting like themselves - Rebecca seems off with her focus on winning and Rupert? That was weird. And Higgins saying they should fire Ted - that was off.
Don’t get me started on Keely, I hate this whole storyline. I hate Barbara, what is the point of Jack, good riddance Shandy.
The bullying thing was obvious, the counsellor Jacob or whatever is just sticking in my craw. I know they are setting it up for Ted to go home but it feels obvious and forced.
And Trent. What is your storyline even? Nothing is happening.
Jamie and Roy are my only saving graces so far. And you know what, Nate is the only one that seems consistent but everytime he’s a bit bumbly doing his thing, I get mad. Don’t try to make me like him again

Do we know how many episodes there will be? My anxiety really likes to know that going into it so I know how much time we have to resolve everything.
OK, I just Googled and answered my own question — 12. There’s still time to turn this around.

Ahhh there we are. There’s some of that warm and fuzzy Ted magic that I’ve been missing this season. Loved this episode. I won’t spoil anything because it just came out but I can’t wait to hear what you guys think!

Twitter fans are also EXTREMELY convinced that Rebecca/Ted is endgame. That the little kid’s room on the boat made her think that she can’t have her own kids, but that she could learn to love someone else’s child, so obviously she realizes that she wants to marry Ted and be a stepmom. There’s fan art and everything.
I find it all a stretch.

I want her to go back and live on the boat with the hot Dutch guy. (Or they can weekend there from their penthouse or something)

I found the Dutch guy/situation a bit creepy, TBH, but I really don’t want her and Ted to end up together, either.
The theory that I’ve read is that Ted no longer belongs in America (evidence is the faux American bar where nothing was real) and everything about boat man was Ted-like (Kenny Rogers, father, hyper masculine and kind of corny). (Per Twitter) I’m not sure I agree, but I like to read other peoples’ interpretations.
There is also (per me) a repeated theme going on about friends not being reachable when we need them. Rebecca doesn’t have Keeley’s ear when she needs it, Ted can’t reach Rebecca. I feel like there were more that I’m forgetting.

Also, wouldn’t it be a bit weird for Rebecca and Ted to end up together, when he was fuck buddies with her BFF?

I didn't like the storyline because I couldn't see a direction for it that wasn't tropey and worn out. But this was perfect. The world is a dramatically different place for young gays vs elder gays and there is value in the relationship between the generations. I loved how they showed that.

I feel mildly irked by the whole, "had a perfect night, but didn't even learn their name" storyline. I mean, she's wealthy AF, she could easily build a life with a boat-living Dutch man. But I also feel like we might see more of him. They gave him more of a background story then they usually give to people who only exist for the benefit of someone else's story. We know that he has a kid, an ex-wife, acquaintances (he was on the phone with someone when Rebecca fell off the bridge). He seems to have desires that are independent of Rebecca's desires. That's more info than we have about the folks who work at Keely's office, or even some of the players.

Is it possible Rebecca got pregnant with the boat guy? Did they do it? I'm just trying to figure out that whole weird thing.

The boat guy said they didn't (presumably because she was drunk) and I really hope that's the case. I wouldn't mind it necessarily under consensual circumstances, but that's not it.

Yeah, I took his comment about "oh yes we did" after she left to be about connection, not sex. It would be very un-Ted Lasso to have something not shown at the time, but revealed on flashback.

Also isn’t this the last season? 6 episodes left is hardly enough time to set that up, bc they have been soooo platonic this entire time.

Rebecca and Jason have both talked in interviews about how Ted and Rebecca are basically platonic soul mates. It would be lazy writing for them to end up together and that’s just not what we usually get here.
I think (hope?) the Dutch guy will pop up somewhere in Rebecca’s high society circle. It would be very fun for them to get introduced to each other at a big event unexpectedly - this would make a potential relationship more equal and compatible. I agree with PP that we’ve learned way more about him than other characters that are just passing through.
I do want Keely and Roy to end up together. I hope him learning to bike ride is the start of some personal growth.

I know some people thought that whole thing was creepy, but I loved getting to see Rebecca truly relax and enjoy herself and glow. He was a perfect gentleman with her, and their chemistry was fun.
