![]() I mentioned last week the need for a major LGBTQ+ character in the series and there was at least a minor one in Episode 12. Rojas had “RIP Earl” on his Nemeziz cleats, showing he hasn’t forgotten the poor doggo. He ends Season 2 by converting the penalty kick that secured promotion, with Earl’s puppy replacement watching nearby. He plans to open a Nigerian restaurant in town and bring his culture to London instead of returning to Africa to play for a rich brat.ĭani Rojas began Season 2 by accidentally killing Earl, the greyhound mascot of the club, while taking a penalty kick. Importantly, Sam made the choice not for a potential romance with Rebecca, but because it’s what he wants to do for himself. The hilariously childish reaction of Akufo when he doesn’t get what he wants shows Sam made the right decision. Sam decided to stay at Richmond despite overtures from billionaire Edwin Akufo. Will their relationship continue this rocky road in Season 3 or will they work it out with further communication? Here’s another point where a (couples) therapist could help, especially so Roy can discover he has more than a singular feeling. Roy thought she was breaking up with him, a clear sign that they don’t have as great of communication as it might seem, but then he left the plane tickets behind, indicating he had no desire to do anything without Keeley. ![]() All seemed mostly well until Keeley told Roy she couldn’t go with him on vacation. Jamie apologized to Roy, who forgave him, as he saw Jamie becoming the responsible adult Keeley wanted him to be before they broke up. The will-they-won’t-they between Roy and Keeley had a bit of an anticlimactic resolution in Episode 12. In fact, by the end of the season, the Diamond Dogs essentially changed from a bunch of guys asking advice to a support group to aid one another’s mental health.Īs for the other storylines in Season 2, we didn’t exactly see great conclusions in the finale. While earlier in the series he was greeted with a delightful and cheery “Ted!” from Rebecca, Keeley and Higgins when he entered Rebecca’s office, when he entered in the Season 2 finale he was greeted by a somber-but-supportive, empathetic “Ted” after the article about his panic attack came out. #tedlasso /Y4ngRIj1Crįortunately, Ted has built a strong supporting cast around him. I don’t think I’ve been more pissed off in my life. As Season 2 ended, he abandoned his team and joined Rupert’s West Ham. Thinking he’d been ignored throughout the season, Nate turned on Ted and AFC Richmond, ripping apart the “Believe” sign Ted hung in the locker room in the very first episode of the series. By the end of the season, Nate was wearing all black, his hair having slowly transformed from speckles of gray to full salt and pepper. Promoted from kit man to tactician, Nate became a beloved member of the team. Others, like Beard, did things their own way.īut one character whose mental wellbeing was mostly ignored throughout the season turned out to be the one man who needed help the most: Nate.Īs Season 2 started, Nate was an up-and-coming assistant coach. Some, like Ted, received professional help from Sharon. All season long characters like Ted Lasso, Coach Beard, Sharon Fieldstone, Jamie Tartt and Roy Kent were seen dealing with hefty mental health issues. The major theme throughout Season 2 was mental health. But the biggest one set the stage for what is sure to be a major theme in Season 3: Nate’s turn from sheepish kit man to brazen rival. There were so many call-backs and parallels to previous episodes, it was almost hard to keep track of it all. The second season of “Ted Lasso” concluded this week with “Inverting The Pyramid of Success,” the 12th and final episode of the season. Nathan Shelley is now the villain of “Ted Lasso” - he is now the rival coach on Rupert Mannion’s West Ham.
