I agree that there is too much of Jason's real life in this season. I am hoping that this episode was one that was more built to set up future storylines that are better. I'm glad to get rid of Jack, that whole thing was so annoying and insincere. I feel like they are kind of teasing if Ted and Michelle get back together, which should have been dead and buried in season 1. More Jason-Olivia stuff.
I wonder if Jack will now pull funding from Keeley and she will have to go back to the team. Which would be so dumb and her entire storyline this year would be moot. Kind of like the whole Zava thing.
ETA: I did love Trent's first little Diamond Dog "woof".

I hope that after Ted's call with Rebecca that he's able to let Michelle go and we can move on from that storyline. I agree there's been a lot of crossover from his real life in that story.
I'm also glad Jack is gone. Good riddance. I need Keeley to have a better ending than that. I even kinda loved Jamie when he came to apologize to her. He's grown a ton since season 1.

I think Jamie's apology was my favorite part of the episode.
I hate Ted asking for a private investigator, that just didn't track for me. It feels like Ted has regressed this season and it's so unsatisfying.

I feel like so many of this season's storylines have had no point. Particularly Keeley's. Why Shandy? Why Jack? They brought nothing to the table. I mean, there is benefit to telling a storyline about a "not abuse, but not healthy" relationship and Keeley deserving better. But (so far at least) she hasn't stood up for herself. So eh. I feel like Jack's two dimensionality has rubbed off on Keeley. What is she even doing? Also, why Zava? The team sucked, then Zava showed up with his avocados and the team was great. Then he left and the teamed sucked again. But then Ted had a vision and the team was great again. Ted's vision could have come much earlier in the season and the team could have been great much earlier on - from their own hard work. Or the team could have been mediocre the whole time until the same Amsterdam vision.
I do like Rebecca standing up for herself to get Zava. But after that, eh. I think that my issue is that they spend too long on these empty stories. Like, keep Zava for two episodes. Same with Jack. Shandy could have been one episode. Or none. And if Ted was going to be doing so much self-work, bring back the therapist. I liked her.

It feels like Ted has regressed this season and it's so unsatisfying. The apology and the Diamond dogs. I love the Diamond dogs and I love that Trent is now in it with his woof. I still hate everything about Nate and Keelys whole storyline. Nate trying the “love hounds” made me cringe so hard I think I hid my eyes. And oh man I still hate the therapist is the new bf story - and the PI. Coach Beard and the Hey Jude was cute - Coach Beard continues to deliver. I do NOT want Ted to get back with Michelle. I can’t say that strongly enough.

Oh man, I found that episode so awful to watch.
I echo other posters; love Trent’s woof, loved Jamie’s apology, found everything else made me cringe.
We hardly ever see Rebecca and I miss her.

We also were very whelmed, and what is happening with Jason’s makeup? I thought he looked kind of terrible, tbh. Maybe that was the point, but in HD on our big tv, I thought his makeup seemed obvious in the outdoor patio scene.

Cringe cringe. Diamond dogs and Jamie were the only appealing parts of this episode.

I was worried when I hear Bill Lawrence was stepping back this season. He such a strong story teller and Jason just doesn't seem have that same level of skill.

We finally watched (we've had stuff every night this week) and I am so disappointed in where this season has gone.
Please let us never see Jack again.
More Rebecca and Keeley.
Fuck Nate.
I'm holding out hope for a Roy/Keeley reunion.
Jamie is a treasure. I laughed at his password.
I think Ted is going to move home to get back with Michelle and I hate the idea.

I hope Michelle moves there so Ted and his son can be together. Nice clean start over post-doctor. Do not want them as a couple though.

This one was mostly a miss for me again. Does anyone else feel like half of these episodes are like, public service announcements for social justice or something? Lots of platitudes.
The little exchange between Jamie and Sam over the captain tag and then later Jamie saying "I'm flattered" when everyone looked at him were the highlights for me. Laughed out loud both times.
We're not getting to see them actually play and be excited with them this year. We're just told how many they win and lose.
I enjoy how much Rebecca enjoys telling off men lol

I really don't need this show to teach me about the dangers of sharing nudes or how to treat gay people.

I was afraid of another episode of trying to get the team to accept him.

I still really enjoy the little moments. Things that made me laugh this week:
The coach describing the Phish, Greatful Dead, Black Crows concert and Ted saying “I bet that was tight” and coach replying “oh no, it was a mess but it was fun.”
Ted, “Ya hear that guys? Roy says good job!” View coach falling over in the background.
Roy’s entire press conference, including the part where he called the reporter “New Trent”. When the reporter agreed with him, Roy said “You know, I think I prefer you to Old Trent” and Old Trent was standing right there.
Still waiting to see where the whole Nate arc ends up.

I loved Roy's press conference. Other perfect reporter names were "five o clock shadow head" and "gremlin king." I died. Brilliant.

Roy still makes me laugh. The press conference was perfect. Also I loved the rivalry between Sam and Jamie over the captainship. The after-school-special tone at times was a bit much.

Jamie has become such a bright spot in every episode. I love the way he says things. My favourite Jamie moment is him going hard on the “bye bye bye” dance.
Higgins too. The firm handshake bit was hilarious. I just adore him

I’m still enjoying the show but I agree with others that so many of the story lines are falling flat.
Ted isn’t the same upbeat Ted, and it’s distracting. Like the show is centered around him. It’s too close to the end to not have him be back to himself by now.
I feel like they made Nate SO unlikeable last season that I can’t get myself to believe in his character arc.
It seems like they are trying to set up Keely and Jamie reconciling, but they detracted too much with Jack. Jamie’s character arc was great though, and much more believable than Nate’s.
I need more Rebecca. And Trent.

They are being very weird about saying things like “final season.” I *would not be surprised if we got a “Jamie Tart” or a “Roy Kent” season next.

I surprisingly liked this episode but I think it's because Roy was perfect as always, and I want to be Rebecca when I grow up.

Oh gosh, I loved this episode! Roy was hilarious, I almost always enjoy the team stuff, Trent is a delight, and Rebecca was bad ass. I didn’t even mind the Nate stuff because Rupert was such a dick.

I actually felt bad for Nate when his Rupert bubble burst right in front of his eyes. I was more worried for Jade after their meeting. Rupert gave me uber creeper vibes.

I liked the end with Colin and Isaac and their "we're still best friends, just don't lie to me" thing.
Jamie is getting harder to understand, but his "poo poo head" cracks me up every time.
I'm glad Jack is gone. She didn't really add anything.

Sam’s dad is a treasure. So is Sam and dammit they better stay gold, ponyboy because they are just some of the best parts of this entire show. Sam has been my favorite character from day 1. I hope he and Rebecca are endgame. I love them together.
