Ted Lasso had a lot going on this week, and we’ll try to get to it all. But let’s talk about that last minute of the show and some projecting into what could be a controversial storytelling decision, if the writers decided to pull the trigger on it.

We see Trent leaving the party after the arrival of Zava propels Richmond into contention in the standings. When Trent is walking down the street, he sees Colin making out with his boyfriend in an alley. While it’s 2023 and it shouldn’t be news, the episode ends with some ominous music and Crimm holding a neutral expression, as he ponders where to go forward on the book he’s writing about the team.

Given show’s track record with inclusivity and overall talent at making everyone feel loved, they couldn’t possibly turn Crimm heel now, and have him spill this issue out into the mainstream in a negative light.

Would they?

If you’ll remember, Crimm committed career suicide by surrendering his source to Ted, when he spilled that it was Nate who went to the press about his mental health issues. Why would he backslide now this late in the show’s run?

It’s more likely that the scene will go nowhere or that Colin’s personal life could come under scrutiny from elsewhere, which would lead Crimm to actually defend him instead. We’ll just have to see.

The episode was another winner
r. Ted is obviously having a tough time with his former marriage counselor dating his ex wife. It will get worse before it gets better with him. And watch Jamie step up his game and lead the team to victory when it matters most.

Nate is waiting next week. You know I’ll be here. See you then!
