Trent and his ex-wife had to explain to their daughter what was happening in a way a young child would understand, and then his daughter and ex-wife made him a pride bracelet and no I will not change my mind
Thinking about the Crimmlet wearing an oversized England shirt and being so excited for the World Cup final that she can barely sit still on the sofa to watch it between Trent and Ted (who is still sulking a little bit over USA getting knocked out).
And about Jamie using his England connections to get a Mary Earps shirt for Phoebe because she is her favourite player and is upset Nike refuse to sell the replica goalkeeper shirt.
And about Shannon taking a break from training with the AFC Richmond Women's team to watch the final with all the other players.
And about Rebecca flying Nora out to see the final in Australia (they go first class on a Qantas flight because Nora refuses to take Rebecca's private jet).
And about Keeley doing a series of TikTok videos with everyone at AFC Richmond to show their support for the Lionesses. Amongst others, there's one with all the women who work at Richmond, one with Macy Greyhound wearing a little England kit, and a montage of times the English AFC Richmond himbos made Roy growl by jumping out and singing "It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming, FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME" at him.
My thoughts on the ways in which Rebecca could become a mother:
Miracle pregnancy via Dutch boat house guy……..0/10 honestly I just think including a rape storyline in this pretty wholesome show would be gross and unnecessary, also it’s pretty clearly shown that Rebecca’s fertility doctor told her she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant
Miracle pregnancy via someone else…….meh it would seem rushed at this point unless they did a timejump in the finale where she has kids with someone idk, and again her fertility doctor told her she can’t have kids. 1/10 but also 0/10 if she gets pregnant by sam let’s not bring that back thanks
Something happens to Sassy and she adopts Nora. 3/10 I don’t really want anything to happen to Sassy 😭
She gets together with Roy’s sister and becomes a stepmother to Phoebe. ehhh 5/10 we don’t know Roy’s sister so this would feel kind of random but I guess it’s not the worst option
She gets together with Roy and becomes aunt/mother figure to Phoebe - 2/10 this just seems unlikely and weird to me lol and also I need my Roykeeley endgame
Something happens to Roy’s sister and she adopts Phoebe…1/10 lmao she doesn’t know Phoebe or Roy’s sister and this just wouldn’t make sense, if anything happened to Roy’s sister surely Roy would get custody of Phoebe.
She gets with Trent’s ex-wife and becomes stepmother to the Crimmlet - uhhhhh 3/10 idk again this would just seem kind of random and like we’ve only got 4 episodes left and we haven’t even met either of these characters
Something happens to both Trent and his ex-wife and she adopts the Crimmlet - 2/10 this seems random and illogical much like the idea of her adopting Phoebe and also I don’t want anything bad happening to Trent lol
She becomes a mother figure to the team or to certain members of the team - hmmmm 4/10 idk I love me some found family but she isn’t that much older than most of them and she’s their boss and I don’t think there’s ever been any indication that any of them see her as a mother figure (and idk why they would just start to now??)
She realises that she is basically a mother figure to Nora - 8/10 love Nora and this would be cute for her to realise that she doesn’t have to have kids of her own to be like a mother to someone
She gets with Ted and becomes stepmother to Henry. 10/10 this is the best option out of all of them tbh, not sure how likely this is to happen though because if they wanted to hint at a possible motherly bond they could have had her interact with Henry last episode so idk
She gets with Michelle and becomes stepmother to Henry…4/10 would love for Michelle to dump Dr Jake’s ass but I don’t think the writers would throw together 2 characters who have never interacted and also Rebecca wouldn’t do that to Ted 😤
She gets with Bex and becomes stepmother to Diane. 6/10 they haven’t really interacted but I would love to see Bex leave Rupert and cut him out of her and Diane’s life 🥰
She adopts Diane…5/10 would love for Rupert to die but don’t really want anything to happen to Bex, she hasn’t done anything to deserve that
She adopts some random new child. 7/10 I guess this is fine and cool I don’t see a massive problem with this
of course there’s also the possibility that the psychic was lying or a fraud, which would seem like a bummer ending tbh and also they’ve been heavily hinting that there is something to what she’s saying (with the green matchbooks and the being upside down and wet thing) so…yeah I think that would just disappoint the audience if they just went “no she was wrong and that didn’t mean anything lol”
i’ve been clearing out old screenshots in my camera roll but i have ted lasso brain rot so you all have to see what they made me think of (part two. more posts)
(when she noticed Ted turning up at Trent's flat a lot, Trent's daughter made him a matching bracelet. Trent went to great pains to let Ted know he wasn't obliged to wear it, but Ted was so touched by the gift he'd never dream of taking off what he immediately accepted as one of his most treasured possessions)
seriously though i’m so so proud of this and there are so many little details so please zoom in!! some of my favourite details are the switch plug in the bottom right corner, the peek of ted’s tummy where his shirt rode up from picking up eloise, her sock shadow on his pant leg, and the british outlets :>
everything is intentional literally everything please ask me questions about it !!

On the other hand, Isaac can’t cook for shit like my guy burns water EXCEPT for breakfast foods. Isaac makes the best pancakes, waffles, French toast, etc.
Ted and Higgins both go to pride every year and wear a “Free Dad Hugs” shirt
When Frozen came out, Phoebe forced Roy to watch it so many times that he could’ve probably quoted it word for word (he took her to see Frozen 2 and ended up running into Trent and his daughter)
Whenever Trent’s daughter plays pretend with him and hands him an imaginary phone, he always comes up with the WILDEST scenarios for their game
One time at team karaoke (which became a pretty regular thing after the Everton F.C. match), Jamie and Colin sang Agony from Into the Woods and Jamie did the choreography (he definitely didn’t learn it because he rewatched the musical so. many. times. because he had a crush on Chris Pine *wink* *wink*)
Ted made the mistake of showing Me Before You at a team movie night one time and the entire team was sobbing by the end
Bumbercatch is the jumpiest mf ever but LOVES horror movies
One of Jamie’s favorite movies is Dead Poets Society and his favorite character was Neil (he was inconsolable when he watched it the first time and Neil died)
Beard knew about Trent’s crush on Ted and teased him about it every time he got flustered around Ted
The only times Roy isn’t the princess when he plays Princess and Dragon with Phoebe is when Jamie plays with her (Roy has SO MANY pictures of Jamie dressed as the princess on his phone and one is his wallpaper)
We all know that Jamie’s bi awakening was Roy and Keeley but Will’s was Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher in the Star Wars movies
Will was raised by a single mom who he loves more than anything (I saw someone else hc this and it makes so much sense)
Bumbercatch LOVES Buzzfeed Unsolved True Crime/BU Supernatural and low key religiously listens to a true crime podcast
Passenger Princess Ted is enjoying the roominess of Rebecca’s car that she let him and Trent borrow for their day trip. Meanwhile Trent is blue screening and has almost wrecked the car 12 separate times.
me: actually she’s the queen of the world. all the richmond players and staff adore her. she thinks ted is dad shaped and she WILL ask the tough questions. roy wishes he could hate her because of who her dad is but he only lasts about two seconds. ted comes up with increasingly horrible and insane nicknames for her on a weekly basis.
