I'm looking forward to seeing if any of the guys pick up on the overt homage to All the President's Men in the Higgins storyline in this episode. And if none of them do, then to me that's a sign they absolutely need to watch that movie, because it's an all-time classic.

I'm so happy they mentioned Frank Lampard, Chelsea's best player and my favourite footballer. 648 games, 211 goals, 148 assists and 359 goal contributions in the Chelsea shirt. For a midfielder that's unique. A true Chelsea legend. Miss the old Chelsea team with him, John Terry, Drogba, Carvalho, Essien, Cech and all the others.

I was feeling anxious and I felt permission to sob with Alice in that moment. I cried again when Ted looked choked up right before Beard came in-he understands what anxiety feels like and if there’s anyone else in the world Alice shouldn’t be ashamed in front of, it’s him.

Also: I think Gemma’s mom and Rebecca’s mom should get together and go bowling.

Very much enjoyed the "wedding" sequence at Chelsea (Roy standing at the front, Keeley making her way down the aisle to join him, Keeley in a white wrap with a tulle "veil" on her head, leaving together hand in hand, the two "witnesses" throwing stuff). Glad they're not dragging that out! I don't know if it's Rupert behind the buying up of shares or if it's Zelda (probably Zelda), but for Quinn's concern about Anthony Stewart Head's (Rupert's) death - this season of Ted Lasso was filmed and finished in 2025, and Anthony Stewart Head died in June 2026, so the writers room and the producers would have had every reason to believe they could write a Rupert storyline into the continuing series.

I do think it’s Zelda buying up the shares, possibly because of something Rebecca had done to her in the past that she forgot or just has a different perspective of? Also to note I’m pretty sure Rebecca only sold 49% of the club so whoever is buying it up wouldn’t be able to get a majority of it but definitely enough to influence a lot.

Couldnt really care less about the Roy and Keeley stuff but I absolutely think Zelda is behind this sabotage

Zen Reacts

Also I could see Mae spending everything shes ever earned on her shares . I wouldnt be surprised if she owned like 10%

SCAG

Mae would be lucky to own 1%. Even though I’d love for her to own a decent chunk. Higgins said the club could be worth $2B. There’s no way Mae has a $200m equity stake in this lol

Or take a glass blowing class.

As someone who doesn't drive & uses the tube frequently, I can confirm that is an EXACT accurate portrayal of travelling on it (especially during peak times squashed in like sardines) when Keeley/Roy did it, enjoyed all their banter between each other throughout the eps & your reactions to it was great 😄 Answer laying his head on Quinn during Roy's heartfelt speech was so adorable. ^_^ Ted's Term of "Emotional Jambalaya" is a good analogy for this eps cause of all the different emotions we felt with our multiple characters, the levity with Keeley/Roy to the touching scenes of Ted just sitting, no words, with Alice, consoling her in a nice, unique way, ya could tell Ted was even doing his own methods to calm down, it's good seeing this emotional/vulnerable side of Alice which makes the audience watching warm to her more. I do not believe this Rupert theory at all, I had my doubts/suspicions about Zelda in previous eps & think she is being sneaky but smart in trying to "pull the rug up from beneath" on Rebecca & co. Also just so ya know, "Gogglebox" is a British TV Show that (funnily enough) is about people reacting to TV Shows/Films etc in their living rooms with their families, it's quite popular here.

While I think it's probably Zelda, Rupert could still have a cameo. He was alive when they filmed almost a year before his death. This would explain why we haven't seen a dedication to Anthony Head yet. They could be waiting for the episode he's in to dedicate, or it could be the final episode.

Such a great episode! Kudos to the writers, actors & director. Tanya Reynolds deserves all the awards. She's been killing it this season!

Sometimes it's interesting to watch women-centric shows with reactors who are men. Men and women are different, as Oak says, because patriarchy forces us to navigate the world differently. Quinn talks about how he can only think of two things where you really get camaraderie and teamwork--sports and military--and I can name half a dozen non-physical activities/careers where that is true without even pausing for a breath. When Oak sees the "great Alice Chilton" scene, he sees her being recognized for her athletic achievements. I see her being recognized for her coaching. She said she's "just" the coach, but we've spent four and a half seasons learning why a coach is never "just" anything. In that moment, she's realizing that she can still find freedom in football, even if it looks differently. This role as coach isn't some consolation prize, it's important and honorable and, just possibly, way more fulfilling than her ability to kick a ball. She could achieve greatness on the field for a few seasons, but what kind of greatness does she achieve with a lifetime of coaching others? What's the more accurate measurement of greatness? That's her revelation. I love the scene with Ted and Alice because it's so subtle. Alice can't verbalize why she's crying because it isn't any one thing, right? It's questioning herself, it's being upset that Gemma is injured, it's the trauma of her own injury finally being released. Instead of talking at her, even if it's just trying to help her re-center, Ted chooses to do the least overwhelming thing. He sits down next to her and models self-soothing. She's wringing her hands, he's modeling calm, intentional hand movements. She's gasping for air, he's modeling deep breathing, which she naturally mirrors. You see that she calms very quickly whereas if he had kept talking, she would have kept ruminating. It's a brilliant moment. More than anything, I loved loved loved the scene where Ted says that there is crying in football. His point that they're a strong enough team to support each other's toughest feelings, all they have to do is not hold back--beautiful. Because isn't that what life is about? Not how we're different, not the lines the divide us, but how those most basic needs and experiences make us the same.

I think Zelda is definitely involved in the takeover plot, but it's entirely possible that she's working behind the scenes with Rupert. This season was filmed mostly last year, and it wrapped production in January. Anthony Head only just died this past June, and his death was pretty sudden and unexpected - complications from pneumonia. Anyway, it's entirely possible he filmed a cameo appearance when he was still alive, and though there's been no reporting about him being involved with this season, the same was true for Phil Dunster all the way until two weeks ago when we saw the return of Jamie Tartt. It's a pretty safe bet that Dunster had to sign an NDA before he shot his scenes to ensure that his presence in this season wouldn't be spoiled before we saw it on screen. In any event, I have no idea if we're going to get a Rupert appearance or not, but it's a pretty safe bet that if we are, the producers made damn sure to keep his reveal completely under wraps before we see it onscreen. I think when Head died this summer, they knew it wouldn't be as hard to keep a secret, because most people's first thought when considering the possibility of him making an appearance this season would be, "Yeah, but didn't the actor die?" Last week there were a couple of reactors speculating about whether the Dolly Parton reference in the episode was written as a tribute to her, given her recent passing. It almost certainly was not, because she only just died a few weeks ago and the scene where they're trying to get info from Roy's agent on the phone was likely filmed last year or very early this year when Parton was still very much alive. It's pure coincidence that we got a Dolly Parton reference on the show just a few weeks after she passed away. Anywho, I think it would be awesome if we did get a Rupert reveal before the season ends, though Anthony Head's unexpected passing will probably force the writers to make a major pivot in the storyline when they start mapping out a fifth season if that is the case.

One more thought... at the end of S3, we see that Rebecca has decided to sell off 49% equity in the team, keeping 51% for herself to ensure she would retain majority control. So why would someone plot to buy up all the outside shares if they know Rebecca will still have controlling interest in the team? Guess what costs a lot of money for an English football club owner? Launching a new women's team from scratch. At this early stage it's a near certainty that the club is still in the red with the women's team and expected to be for at least the first year and maybe more. I think Rebecca sold off more equity in the club off-screen in between S3 and S4 to give her seed capital to fund the women's team, and we're going to find out about that next week. While she still holds a larger stake than any other individual shareholder and thus retains control at the outset of this season, if someone comes along and buys up everyone else's shares, she's no longer the principal shareholder and therefore no longer has managing control of the team. This is building towards a hostile takeover situation, and I think that's the season cliffhanger we're moving towards - and the tragedy of it will be that launching the women's team will be the very thing that actually put Rebecca in the position to lower the team. I think in the end she'll prevail, but they're going to make us worry about it at the end of this season before we get resolution on it down the road. S5 overall story arc will be about Rebecca doing whatever she needs to do to regain control of the club so the good guys win in the end.

I think there's a strong possibility that Zelda is acting in cahoots with Rupert behind the scenes and we just haven't gotten that reveal yet.

DTGstl314

Leslie estimated that the value of the club at the end of S3 was around £2 billion, which would make a 10% equity stake in the club worth £200 million (roughly equal to -$264M in U.S. dollars). I would be quite shocked to learn that a humble neighborhood pub owner like Mae has an actual net worth of more than a quarter of a billion dollars.

DTGstl314

She only sold 49% of the club by the end of S3, but then she decided to launch a women's team, which presumably required a fair bit of seed capital to get it up and running. She may have sold another 2-3% of the club between S3 and S4 to fund the women's team, and though it would mean she no longer owned a majority of the club, she would still be the largest individual shareholder and thus would still have managing control of the team... unless somebody came along and bought up all of the outstanding shares she's doesn't own.
