The 1965 hit has turned up in plenty of movies, but none so famously asGroundhog Day.
Headspace isnt that, at least not exactly.
But that doesnt mean repetition doesnt have a role to play.
(Hes here, hes there, hes every-fucking-where: Roy Kent.)
Their rift doesnt lastthatlong, however.
Roys not giving Keeley enough space.
(Which she essentially told him, but he couldnt hear it for some reason.)
One candlelight bubble bath and the promise of alone time later, all is well.
OnTed Lasso, some problems have simple resolutions.
Roys and Keeleys tiff didnt suggest deeper problems in their relationship and seemed destined to be just a blip.
He saw what he was doing and got out.
For others, its not as easy.
When Sharon asks him point-blank what happened when he fled the game, he flees again.
The second visit goes even worse.
Ted, in an uncharacteristically hostile mood, insults Sharon.
But not just Sharon.
Its harsh, and she rightly takes offense.
The third visit, however, seems to mark a turning point.
Last episodes watershed moment came when Ted walked through the door of Sharons office and admitted he needed help.
In some ways, this is bigger.
But for Ted, the stakes are even higher, and this is just the beginning of the process.
At least the episode leaves Ted in a better place than Nate, whos spiraling into darkness.
In some ways, its a remarkably sharp heel turn from the meek kid we met in season one.
But, in retrospect, it now looks like hes been headed in this direction all along.
They say humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking about yourself less, he tells Nate.
That may be true, but that doesnt mean you cant enjoy success even a little bit.
To be fair, Colin was the ringleader of Nates tormentors, and its hard to let that go.
So he lets Colin have it, likening him to a painting at a Holiday Inn.
Theres no sincerity to Nates apology, even if it seems to fly (even with Coach Beard).
Where is this going?
But right now, its going nowhere good.
The episode features a cute scene in which they bump into each other while glued to their phones.
(That and Rebecca not being sure how she feels aboutRatatouillebeing her matchs favorite film.)
Regardless, both Sam and Rebecca have cheering sections encouraging the blind relationship.
What will become of it remains a big TBD.
In fact, much of Headspace leaves viewers hanging about the fate of its plot strands.
Will Ted be able to confront whats going on inside him?
Will Nate continue his descent into prickdom?
Is there a future to this Bantr match?
All that, and the Greyhounds season remains on the line, even if the episode largely ignores that.
Football is life, sure, but theres more to life thanjustfootball.
In his defense, hehasbeen busy.
Per the credits, Will the kit mans full name is Will Kitman.
