“#Why ‘Ted Lasso’s Season 2 Romance Twist Works (Really!)<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Ted Lasso<\/em> Season 2, Episodes 1- 7.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

So\u2026 you thought Coach Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) and his boss Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) might be on their way to becoming an item on App<\/a>le TV+\u2019s Ted Lasso<\/em>, did you? You wouldn\u2019t be the first or last to think so, but the disappointment of some viewers over the realization that Rebecca has actually been chatting with Nigerian player Sam (Toheeb Jimoh) over the dating app Bantr seems a bit premature.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things from Season 1 was Ted\u2019s uncharacteristic one-night stand with Rebecca\u2019s bestie Sassy (Ellie Taylor). The tryst, although brief, seemed to take Ted off of the playing field for Rebecca\u2019s heart, but kept them close enough to be the tight-knit friends they\u2019ve grown to be between Seasons 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

Plus, Rebecca, who was constantly cheated on by her ex-husband Rupert (Anthony Head), deserves a clean slate with a good person, and starting something with Ted would muddy the waters with Sassy in the equation. As former player Roy (Brett Goldstein) told the AFC Richmond owner, \u201cyou deserve someone who makes you feel like you\u2019ve been struck by f**kin\u2019 lightning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clearly, Rebecca feels that way with her Bantr match \u2014 that she\u2019s still unaware is Sam \u2014 but the latest episode has shown that she\u2019s nervous about facing her growing feelings. And ultimately, Rebecca and Sam would have never<\/em> connected on the app had the conflict with Sam and Dubai Air over its environmental impact not happened earlier this season.<\/p>\n

When Sam raises the Dubai Air issue with Rebecca directly, she\u2019s his biggest champion, standing up to an old acquaintance to protect her player. And then Bantr took over as AFC Richmond\u2019s sponsor in Dubai Air\u2019s absence\u2026leaving both parties to become involved with the service, and setting them up for a match that could be fairly ideal.<\/p>\n

Although some viewers might see this pairing as strange, looking back on Season 1, there are little bread crumbs hinting at a possibly sweet connection between Sam and Rebecca. There\u2019s even a dating reference made in Episode 6 from the first season in which Sam enters Rebecca\u2019s office to invite her to participate in the team\u2019s efforts to put away with a supposed curse.<\/p>\n

At first, Rebecca thinks Sam\u2019s propositioning her, asking her on a date, and as she begins to turn him down, he corrects her assumption and reveals that there\u2019s nothing romantic about his invitation. The foreshadowing is almost too obvious.<\/p>\n

Since then, the pair have had various encounters, albeit brief: Sam encouraging Rebecca during Season 1\u2019s karaoke outing, and his sweetness shown towards her goddaughter, Nora (Kiki May). We\u2019ve learned that they both love Disney films as it was revealed Sam\u2019s favorite movie is Ratatouille<\/em> in a conversation between Rebecca and Keeley (Juno Temple). And we know that Rebecca bonded with Nora over Frozen<\/em>, hence her karaoke rendition of \u201cLet it Go.\u201d<\/p>\n

It would be nice to see Rebecca \u201clet it go\u201d and just cave in to her feelings for this \u201cmystery\u201d Bantr man because Sam is just as eager to meet his match. \u201cI don\u2019t think she knows what she wants,\u201d Waddingham told TV Insider earlier this season, but when it comes to romance, \u201cshe\u2019s just hopeful.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Sam and Rebecca\u2019s hallway run-in during Season 2\u2019s latest entry, \u201cHeadspace,\u201d felt pretty spark-filled to me. Only time will tell if their online match will turn into a real-life relationship, but we can only imagine their reaction(s) to finding out the truth. Either way, it\u2019s too early for viewers to turn their backs on this potential romance before it\u2019s even got off the ground. There\u2019s plenty of preexisting foundation to build something special, now if only these players would play the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let us know what you think of the match between Rebecca and Sam in the poll and comments section, below, and stay tuned to see how things play out between the duo as Season 2 continues on Apple TV+.<\/p>\n
