#spoilers for ted lasso 3x08

I saw many posts saying they hate this ep and the show now, but here I’m like…. I love every bit of this ep??

I want to squeeze everything in this one post, but that’ll be a lot, a lot a lot. So this one first, I’m gonna showering my love to the locker room discussion scene and the Jamie Keeley scene.

Locker room discussion

This! This is the exact reaction we can get from a bunch of men when they found out about women’s videos being leaked. Some will have dirty thoughts with it (Colin - I know he’ll never do it, but in generally speaking, yes, men does that); some will feel once those photos/videos been sent to them, meaning that they belong to them so they don’t have to delete at all; some lay blame on women for recording/taking those content; others feel completely fine with it, the ones to condemn are those leaking; some just let their exes delete those themselves. We are not colours, we are not white or grey or black, we are just flawed human. And flawed human makes mistakes. No one is completetly “white” nor “black”, and this show has demonstrated it quite clearly and has not tried to conceal it from the beginning. We have shitty thoughts, we do shitty stuffs all the time. So I don’t think any characters got ooc-ed in this scene.

I know it is not morally right for anyone to use others’ private stuffs for entertainment without their permission, whether it’s for a joke or not. Colin said shitty thing. He straightforwardly stated that he did not want to delete it, though he has a point saying others leaking are to blame. But in the end, it’s scary to think someone still has your private stuffs in their possesion. Colin did shitty thing too.

But you know. People can change for the better, and that’s why we’re watching Ted Lasso. Isaac, Jamie, Sam they all have a right reaction to this kind of situation, so they were helping their friends think right and do right too. Everybody, sad or not (Richard baby I’m proud of you), willingly deleted their exes stuffs off their phones. In the end of the day, that’s what important. Even Colin, the one who openly opposed to that idea, also found a small place for himself to deal with it.

Some said Isaac honoured people’s privacy, only seconds later he snapped Colin’s phone himself. Isaac was pretty clear with Colin’s reactions, Colin even didn’t stay with the whole team for the mass deletion, he just walked away without specifying any reasons. Also, he said fuck off to him with pretty serious expression, why so agressive man, Isaac might think. Isaac had to do what he thought was right at the moment: took away Colin’s phone and deleted everything himself.

I’m gonna detour a little bit right here. The whole scene got on my nerves. I screamed out loud, and my head could not stop spinning for the next 10 minutes. Omfg would you look at Colin’s face right there. First it was horrified, then it was distressed, later was worried, anxious and finally was defeated. Colin would never want Isaac to find out this way. He tried his fucking life to conceal and played it cool under this supreme toxic football environment, he was not ready for this kind of confrontation, especially from his bestest friend. Isaac used to have homophobic comments, what if he felt the same towards Colin? That fierceful side-eye, that shocked impression, killed pretty much Colin from the inside. But luckily, Isaac’s face neutrolised, he nodded in empathy, he knew what was Colin going through just now. Still, this new information was too much to handle at the moment. He did need some time for himself, for Colin as well. For the next episode, I still think Isaac would going through his acceptance phase, he thought he knew Colin but it turns out he knew nothing. By the end of Ep 9, he would realise how much Colin had to suffer all these years, and he would fucking murder anyone who dares to disrespect Colin and he would cherish his friend even more. I’m not that worried about the situation between Colin and Isaac, what terrifies me is “Roy is asked to so a press conference”. What…? Would it be about Colin??? If it would, I’m going die and and cry endlessly from my grave.

OK back from my detour. I literally finished the whole episode first, after that I replayed this locker room scene, and it makes me love Phil’s acting even more. Jamie first reaction towards the leaking thing was pretty unbothered. Don’t get me wrong, he was still awared of how bad the situation was, it’s just it was not his fault so he did not feel guilty. When Sam mentioned Keeley also got involved, Jamie froze right at the moment. He startled as fuck and was spaced out for a bit. He kept rubbing his bum bag and reconnecting all those dots in his head. Was the source from him? Was he the reason Keeley got all the criticsm? He did not know for sure, but he did not feel good about this either.

And that led to…

The Jamie and Keeley hug

This damn hug sums up very well their relationship. The last time we saw Jamie and Keeley interacted (I think) was at Rebecca’s dad funeral. He pretty fucked up at that point, tho actually I understand his motive, he just wanted to let things out without holding in anymore. He didn’t have a chance to really talk about his feelings for Keeley with Keeley. OK I love you, but I respect your relationship with your current boyfriend, and now I have the gut to say it, I’m happy to move on. He coming to Keeley’s to say sorry is the most Jamie thing ever. He’s now accountable, responsible and care so much for others. Maybe nobody will ever know, and nobody will ever blame Jamie, but he himself will. Him saying It’s my fault broke me into pieces, like TWICE in a span of one episode. He needs Keeley to know he worried about her and he felt guilty, he should have done better so none of these would have happened. Idk guys… I love him sm I might cry.

After a rough evening with Jack - the girlfriend who should have understood better, Keeley was tired. Everybody said sorry, but they disappointed her more after that. Jamie came with another sorry, and she might have predicted what was going to happen next. But she would never anticipated a sincere apology from him. A little bit clumsy, a little bit bum bum from her ex, her friend. She went on for a hug and my heart melted. Might be my favourite part of the episode with so much understanding, so much loving and heartwarming affection from both of them.

We might never see them together as a couple anymore (otherwise I would hate their ending very much), but more of a understanding and trusting friendship. Keeley already moved on, and Jamie also moved on would be the best for them ig.

And that, folks, is the end of my first wheezing part. The second part about Rebecca/Keeley, Rebecca/Ted, Ted/Michelle/Dr. Jacob, Ted/Henry/Beard, Nate/Rupert, Roy/Keeley and Jack/Keeley will be posted later cuz I need more time lol. I love this show sm (and I will keep repeating this on and on), they deserve everything.

Buh-bye!

Thinking about colin's misogynistic comment and how homophobia and misogyny fuel each other and feed off each other and how they're so intrinsically connected and how a gay man crossed a line and made what he thought was a throwaway joke as a way to deflect from his queerness but still participated in the harmful culture that most greatly affected a queer woman who has been a victim of said culture since she was 15 and how it directly lead to him being discovered by his best friend who has made homophobic jokes in the past and ughghghhhhh

Let me make one thing absolutely clear:

When I say “Dr. Sharon”, it’s out of complete respect and gratitude.

When I say “Dr. Jacob”, it’s out of sheer contempt and derision.

Keeley’s journey this episode played out entirely on her face in microexpression after microexpression, reaction after reaction, small bits of shame and surprise and pain and relief.

All I’m saying is that Juno Temple f%#king killed it. Give her all the awards.

This episode had everything. Sam and Jamie cute friendship, Colin being angry and scared but never ever ashamed, Rebecca taking absolutely no shit from Roy, Isaac full-on attacking a fan who said a homophobic slur, Colin's ideal coming out scenario being everyone else is gay too, Roy lecturing journos about love in a deeply personal and genuine way, Sam substitute captain, the number of fans sitting in on training continuing to grow, Isaac crying in the boot room with Roy, Trent casually sitting in on Ted's parent-teacher conference, Roy getting visibly upset when none of the team denies that he has a hairy arse, Moe Bumbercatch fittest member of AFC Richmond, Jade being a boss ass bitch and Nate caring about her sosomuch, Will Kitman eavesdropping in the boot room AGAIN, Beard turning a press conference into a heated debate about rock guitarists, "we do care", Colin and Isaac playing FIFA, the entire fucking room all looking at Jamie as soon as Beard suggests another person could be gay

You can't tell me Keeley doesn't know what she's doing with this outfit... She (thinks she) is going to a polo match with her upper class billionaire girlfriend, she's been slutshamed to all hell, so fuck yeah she's going to go shopping and buy a tiny doll version of Julia Roberts' polo match getup from Pretty Woman, with the gloves and the hat and the tiny purse and everything, except Keeley is using her own money, because she's a successful businesswoman, and everyone who judges her can get fucked.

Except then it turns out her girlfriend is judging her too (fuck, I cried. Juno Temple looking sad is not something I can deal with), and even Roy, who always seemed so OK with her past career as a topless glamour model, is fucked up about the current video (I also cried: Keeley looked so hurt and so vulnerable). For Roy, maybe it's because he knows it's personal and she recorded it for... some other footballer ex... in the recent past... yeah, Roy knows it was for Jamie.

And Jamie ends up being the only one of the people who have a sexual interest in her who knows that Keeley can shoot whatever videos he wants, sees she is a victim in this (her privacy was violated), and even takes responsibility for what he thinks is his part in this. A sweet, good boy.

New policy: I am not allowing any of these people near Keeley ever again except Jamie. Also, anyone who makes her sad gets roasted on a spit and turned into shawarma.

The fact that in 3x08 there were no shots of colin and isaac together in the same frame when they're usually joined at the hip and this episode ends with them sitting closer to each other than they ever did, with no team around them, just them in that very intimate space
