Season 3, Episode 12: ‘So Long, Farewell’
So, it’s a wrap!
Last week, “Ted Lasso” accomplished or semi-completed most of the story traces nonetheless lingering because it neared the shut of its three-season run. Nate obtained the required permission from a terrifying Coach Beard to return to AFC Richmond. Jamie rediscovered his confidence on and off the pitch by letting go of his hatred of his father. (Rebecca had achieved the same measure of emotional peace by letting go of her hatred of Rupert an episode earlier.)
Roy and Keeley, who had appeared reunited in that prior episode, now appeared … perhaps reunited? After a shocking win in opposition to Man City, Richmond, initially picked to land on the backside of the Premier League standings, was now on the verge of enjoying for the title. And it was lastly acknowledged, explicitly and irrefutably, that Trent Crimm’s hair is “fabulous.”
As the episode closed, Ted was getting ready to supply Rebecca a serious “fact bomb” of the type she had given him close to the shut of Seasons 1 and a couple of. Alas, he was interrupted by the credit score sequence. Or was he? Brandi Carlile’s cover of “Home” from “The Wiz”— one among a number of references to “The Wizard of Oz” within the episode — was maybe extra a continuation of Ted’s confession than an interruption.
Which brings us to the finale itself, which certain appeared like a series-ending episode even when nobody related to the present is prepared to substantiate that it’s. I assume we’ll have to attend to see whether or not Beard, Roy and Nate carry ahead “The Richmond Way,” to cite Trent Crimm, now that Ted is again within the States.
To supply a fast roundup:
Yes, the title had me questioning about “Sound of Music” references, too. That stated, I didn’t anticipate something fairly so literal as a staff efficiency of “So Long, Farewell.” It was enjoyable nonetheless.
Ted determined to return to Kansas, and to Henry, as all of us knew he would.
Nate rejoined AFC Richmond — because the package man? No, scratch that: the assistant to the package man? That stated, the happy-ending montage suggests he will likely be getting a promotion from Roy, Ted’s substitute as Richmond’s supervisor.
Roy and Jamie acted like full idiots, and Keeley appears glad to be accomplished with each of them. What a multitude.
Did you fall for the opening faux out with Rebecca and Ted? Not me. I by no means misplaced religion. And with each minute of the finale that handed, I knew we have been getting nearer and nearer to our reunion — sure, ours — with the Dutchman.
I’ll have extra to say about all of this as rapidly as I can type out some ideas and write them down. (Don’t wait up!) But within the meantime, be happy to start the weekly dialogue that has been such a big a part of this “Ted Lasso” expertise.
More quickly!
