![]() Maybe they are all just as wise as he is, just as special. Season two has complicated all of that: maybe the man is not all that good at his job, maybe his philosophy didn't help the team that much, maybe there's a lot of ego in his mentoring style, maybe he's not a simple man but one driven by demons, maybe he's not the key to all these people's happiness. My theory is this: season one set up an extraordinarily compelling, beautifully executed, not particularly emotionally complex underdog story in which a simple good man overcame being completely unqualified for his job, won everyone over, rehabilitated a cold, rich dragon lady, and taught a team that winning isn't everything. There are a lot of theories, to say the least, about the relationship between season one of Ted Lasso and season two. ![]() ![]() Ted (Jason Sudeikis) is having a tough time, even though he looks happy. ![]() SAM OBISANYA (dun dun dun!), although neither of them knows they're texting each other yet. This sends Rebecca right back to Luca, despite the fact that she's also very much enjoying her flirtation with her Bantr beau, who we learn is. But it turns out that Mom, coaxed with a new Tesla, has indeed returned to Dad, just as Rebecca predicted. Rebecca overhears some of this in the parking lot and goes home to have a similar talk with her mom. And then Jane makes Beard wear a beret, so Higgins is even righter than he already was. While Beard doesn't take Higgins' advice, they share a back-thumping hug, because Beard knows he's trying to help. Finding himself dismissed when he tries to go at the issue gently, Higgins decides that he has to keep trying, so he goes at it less gently. Rebecca finds common ground with Higgins, who's the only one of the Diamond Dogs willing to voice the concern they all share that Beard's relationship with Jane is toxic. While Ted and Keeley treat this like a big deal, Rebecca warily insists it isn't: Her mother leaves her father every so often, and her father offers up a big gift, and her mother goes right back to him. Rebecca is in the middle of sexing sexily with sexy Luca when her mother drops in for an unannounced visit and announces that she's left Rebecca's dad. He does, and it works, and the team chalks up another big win. And so, at a critical moment in a tournament game against Tottenham Hotspur, the entire coaching staff flips Jamie the bird, which is his signal to get selfish. Roy commands Jamie to act like more of a jerk (though he does not say "jerk"), stressing that the key is to be able to take command of your jerk tendencies and use them to your advantage. He's made Jamie "average" by pushing the team-player angle so hard to the exclusion of all else. When Roy finally relents, it's to say that Ted is at fault. Jamie, however, is frustrated by the fact that new coach Roy, who's being credited for the team's successes, just refuses to coach him. Play-By-PlayĪFC Richmond wins a game right off the bat, and it turns out it's their fourth in a row. And Ted, who has been sprinting to stay ahead of his own brain for quite a while, runs out of room. ![]() Higgins struggles with his obligations as a friend when Beard gets back together with Jane, and Rebecca struggles with her obligations as a daughter when her mother breezes into town. Roy asserts himself as a coach and encourages Jamie to assert himself as a jerk. Brendan Hunt, Jason Sudeikis, Brett Goldstein, and Nick Mohammed play a coaching staff in flux. ![]()
