Thats fitting for an apartment that has been provided by AFC Richmond, as well learn later.
This is just a temporary arrangement for Sharon, a gig that will lead to the next gig.
Ted Lasso is driving me fucking crazy, Sharon tells her therapist.
Ted deflects intimacy and vulnerability with humor and amiability; Sharon does the same with her formidable intellect.
But Sharon does have joy in her life.
She loves riding her bike, listening to Roots Manuva, and giving what-for to those in her way.
But when she meets an oncoming car head-on, her mobile reverie comes to an end.
Fortunately, thats not the end of Sharon.
Shes fine, apart from a minor concussion.
But the injury also reveals how frustrated she is with Teds resistance to therapy and Ted in general.
(Or is it entertainingly annoying?)
Hes also discreet in not commenting on all the empty bottles he sees around her apartment.
(And Teds been known to knock back a few too many by himself as well.)
(Or at least thats Teds frame of reference, not realizing thatthisWembley replacedthatWembley.)
But theres drama surrounding the lead-up to the match.
First, Roy has to deal with Phoebes swearing habit.
(And where could she have picked that up?)
And why shouldnt he?
Rebecca, on the other hand, takes some persuading.
Shes his boss, after all, and hes just 21.
And yet, itdoesgo further.
Theres a kiss and some hesitation, and they agree it cant happen again.
But, again, only sort of.
Theres just too much chemistry there and Hannah Waddingham andToheeb Jimohplay it so well together to let go entirely.
This loss will have consequences.
Just walking through Sharons door was a huge step.
Talking about this, even briefly, seems bigger still.
The nightdoesend well for Rebecca and Sam, however.
Where is this going?
Neither of them knows, and there are obvious stumbling blocks to the relationship.
But, as the episode ends, none of that seems to matter.
Rebecca has her crew, and Sam has the whole team rooting for him.
Theyre going to expect a report.
Ted Lassohas been offering indirect book recommendations in several episodes this season.
We saw Beard reading Simon KupersFootball Against the Enemy, a study of the intersection between football and politics.
Were probably not done with his heel turn yet, though.
