![]() ![]() ![]() Now he’s pivoted his energy to Rupert, who we know to be emotionally abusive and manipulative, but up to this point Nate has had his blinders on. The betrayal he felt from Ted came from feeling like the most important person in Ted’s world, only to realize that Lasso makes everyone feel special. All he’s even wanted is to be noticed and loved by important men in his life, with his emotionally abusive father pushing him to find this attention elsewhere - even if it’s negative. At this point we understand the tragedy of him as a person. The second plot of acceptance naturally comes from Nate, particularly when it comes to father figures. ![]() It’s genuine tough love, as she doesn’t want to see Roy sleepwalk through life because he avoids things that don’t come naturally to him. Obviously this can be interpreted as Roy ending his relationship with Keeley, but Rebecca is getting on his case for far more than that. We see this in the subplots of “La Locker Room Aux Folles” in Roy getting eviscerated by Rebecca for skipping a press conference, which is far more about how Roy avoids any difficulty in his life by using a grumpy veneer. Not necessarily seeking it from others, but also accepting who you are and either being content with that, or trying to make a positive change. He’s not able to experience any of the joy from locker room banter or winning, because he feels like one of the most important people on the team doesn’t accept him.Įach episode in season three has had a prevailing theme, and this was all about acceptance. It’s crushing, and it’s destroying Colin inside. This makes him the perfect foil for the tension of Colin’s sexuality, and an initial reading is that Isaac, the only player on Richmond to know that Colin is gay, isn’t comfortable around his teammate. The no-nonsense, muscle-bound captain has been somewhat an enigma over the course of the show’s three seasons, with little known about his personal life. Isaac has been positioned as a paragon of traditional masculinity. It was always a matter of “when,” not “if” it would come to a head - and “La Locker Room Aux Folles” is that moment. Isaac hammers a shot into the back of the net to end practice, and we’re immediately brought back down to earth as Colin congratulates his captain, only to be met with a cold shoulder and a scowl.Ĭolin’s sexuality has been one of Ted Lasso’s most anxiety-riddled subplots this season. The team’s move to total football has made the club a can’t-miss talking point, the fans are loving open practice, and the Greyhounds players can’t stop smiling in a system that lets everyone shine. AFC Richmond is the talk of the Premier League. ![]()
