That final scene where he berates Jamie and the Richmond boys is quite something, he admittedly has some cojones to call them all ‘amateurs, no offense!’ right there.īut after continuing to push and push, he eventually literally pushes Jamie, who punches his father in the face. But Jamie’s father is a different sort, a real selfish dick, someone who seems to only contact his son to get access to VIP tickets and the locker room. Jamie then has a pleasant talk with Higgins, who offers that he loves his own father for who he is and forgives him for who he isn’t. There’s a subtle Apple supplied reference here, Jamie labels his father ‘Dad’ in quotes but Sam doesn’t use them, of course. Another throughline is Jamie’s narrative, starting with his noticing Sam’s great relationship with his father. ![]() The simplest case is Roy admitting that he maybe, just maybe, curses too much around Phoebe, but it only gets more complicated from there. The rest of the episode is about admitting vulnerability and how that can change things for the better. Although the two are both consenting adults and the episode certainly codes the relationship as a positive thing - at this though, I’m not so sure. Sam is certainly charismatic and charming, even if the actor that portrays him is 24-years old instead of 21 - honestly 21 seems very young, borderline predatory for someone in a position of authority. Good on her, but Sam is charming and persuasive enough to get her to lower her guard and actually hang out for a montage dinner of rapport - and she even kisses him before recoiling, saying ‘she has to mean it.’ Right, seems reasonable enough, but then she hears Sam in his post-game chat to the press and either is affected directly or realizes that his speech is entirely meant for her (for of course it is). At first, Rebecca immediately wants to leave, recognizing both the ethical issue (that she’s the boss) and kinda iffy issue (he’s only twenty-one and she’s certainly over twice that). This leads to him getting a fancy haircut from team captain Isaac in a runner that keeps going as we keep hearing people compliment his new haircut. The most controversial (to me) storyline is the resolution of the Sam/Rebecca tease of many episodes as Sam directly asks out his mystery app lady friend. But as per usual, the game is really a vehicle for the underlying dramas that have been coming to a boil. Of course the Manchester folk are the highly favored team, and our band of scamps have their work cut out for them. The latest episode of Ted Lasso is called ‘Man City’ and it’s all about the big game against said Man City team, the same one that sent Richmond down to relegation last season. ![]()
