Alan Sepinwall of Rolling Stone wrote, "The creative team's wanted to expand its focus beyond the Ted-Rebecca core, and to dig deep into both the impact Ted's positivity was having on the team and the limits of that positivity. That's admirable ambition, and a lot of it worked very well. But despite two additional episodes and longer running times every week, there wasn't always enough room to successfully execute those goals. And that struggle was palpable in these last few episodes. The believing is great, and vital to the experience of watching and loving Ted Lasso. But having a sound strategy mapped out in advance helps a lot, too. Nate's an ass, but he's not wrong about everything."

Roy doesn't quite get Keeley's new job; he has some trouble with the way her life is going to change. Next season, they'll have broken up because he's insecure about her job. His last shot is him scowling at her jaguar statue. I know Game Of Thrones has become something of a joke after the response to the final season, but one thing it modeled very effectively was using the penultimate episode of each season as a climax, allowing for a finale that would simultaneously reflect on the season that came before it and gesture toward the future. And that’s what Ted Lasso really needed, because across the board the actual resolution that comes after Richmond’s promotion is rushed and frankly confounding. Freeze-Frame Bonus: Trent Crimm's article can only be seen for a few shots (and even then, not in its entirety), but viewers who pause it at the right time can see it is overwhelmingly sympathetic and only discusses Ted in general terms before moving on to the subject of poor support for mental health in professional sports.

Self-help considerably littered with biblical scriptural references, but the proof is in the pudding: Wooden was the most successful NCAA coach. His work ethic and principles are worthy of admiration and emulation.On his way out, Ted runs into Trent, who says that he's not a journalist anymore, because he got fired for giving his source up to Ted. (Reasonable!) I have a feeling we'll see Trent again. Maybe in Keeley's job?

Always happy for puppy content, but can anyone explain a reason for the lesbian dog breeder coming on to Keeley being a thing that took up time in this episode of television? In Season One of Ted Lasso, Coach Lasso puts a framed copy of Wooden’s Pyramid up on his office wall. It wasn’t just for the show, however. Jason Sudeikis loves Wooden’s Pyramid. In a recent interview, he talked about how he would use the pyramid when he was teaching improv comedy classes, saying, "I would bring in laminated copies like a freaking PE teacher and diagram on them with a dry erase marker." I’m sure you will like it as much as Jason Sudeikis likes it. You might say to someone who has finished university or shown a lot of progress in sports: “Congratulations! You’ve come a long way!”
