#but ted says her name before jamie so that’s that shut down

I find it vaguely interesting that while Ted struggles to get a proper read on the whole Jamie’s dad situation he doesn’t for one second buy Jamie’s attempt at explaining away his decision leave City for LCA. “Thought it would be fun,” Jamie says. “Build up me brand.” And Ted just keeps looking at him until Jamie – very quickly, incidentally– folds and admits that he did it to piss off his dad. Like, Ted might resist the realisation of how badly James fucks with Jamie, but he knows enough about Baby Tartt to know that, for all his vanity and arrogance, Jamie wouldn’t jeopardize his football career quite as carelessly as that, not just for kicks and giggles.

Just. Ted gets it and doesn’t get it at all in equal measure, yeah? And that’s just really fascinating.
