![]() ![]() Ted has spent so much of the season alienated in some form from the team, be it through his inability to understand the sport he’s coaching or through storylines that either have him thinking of home or with characters not a part of his team. For a character who has evoked such growth from his team while simultaneously demonstrating his own self-improvement through therapy in season two, this moment wreaks of convoluted plotting rather than something realistic for the character. That being such an assumed scenario for the character, it makes his moping and erratic request of Rebecca ( Hannah Waddingham ) to have a private investigator track his ex-wife’s new boyfriend tiresome. This is especially likely, given it is the final season. The inevitable assumption at this point is that Ted will likely go home to the U.S. ![]() With a visit from his son, Ted ( Jason Sudeikis ) is left grappling with all he’s missing and lost out on, and while the writing here is fine, it’s the only storyline that misses the mark. ![]() That narrative assuredness, along with some strong performances - from Juno Temple and Nick Mohammed in particular - make “We’ll Never Have Paris” enjoyable. Aside from one storyline, all of the characters and their plots move and transition into places that suggest closure, of some sort, is incoming. After last week’s disappointing outing, Ted Lasso Season 3 Episode 8 continues its bumpy ride to the end with another strong installment. ![]()
