The Gang Meets Jamie’s Mum (Part 1)

I wrote this because I realized that since Jamie is around 25 and Rebecca and Ted are mid-forties, if Jamie’s mom had him in her early twenties she would be about the same age

Ted’s on his way to work when he bumps into a middle-aged woman lost on her way trying to get to Nelson Road Stadium.  She makes an awkward comment which Ted misinterprets as flirting, and he panics, slightly

For the past twenty years, Ted’s response to people hitting on him has been Sorry, I’m Married.  That doesn’t work anymore and he has no way to politely turn somebody down prepared and he blurts all this out

She laughs and says that she definitely wasn’t flirting.  If she’s honest, she wouldn’t know how.

Ted is relieved but he also senses there’s something more here so he does the Ted Lasso special active listening and she ends up spilling the beans

She admits she’s been too busy being a working class single mom, and her last relationship ended badly.  Her son is very protective and she’s doesn’t want to worry him, and it’s been so long and she’s gotten so old she’s sure there’s no point.

Ted is too recently divorce to at all engage with the topic of what children think of their parents dating life

Ted’s is trying to encourage her to believe in herself, that she’s a real catch, and hey, if she wants she can practice flirting with him right now.  They know they’re not interested in each other so it’s nice and low stakes!  Training is key to success!

Jamie Tartt walks in to find his coach and uncomfortably close to pseudo father figure Flirting With His Mum did you just fuck my mum coach lasso of course not she’s just gotten to town today but Jamie doesn’t say anything yet he’s just focused on greeting his mom.

Mum how did you not realize this was my coach how many people with Kansas accents did you think would be around here

She was just flustered from being lost and didn’t think about it, besides, she points out, he could have been at least one other person!

he could not have been beard mum.  he has a mustache.

Jamie’s mom breaks off to go to unpack she was just stopping by because she couldn’t wait to say hi to Jamie first thing when she arrived to stay in town

Jamie pulls Ted aside like It’s Time To Talk

Ted is trying to walk the very fine line of Jamie, I have tremendous respect for you, it would be a conflict of interest, except I have zero interest, but not because she isn’t attractive, she is, just not to me, but she could make somebody else very happy, somebody else other than me, because she’s her own woman with a sexuality that is none of my business and you need to be okay with that!

Jamie is like this is the worst day.  

but at least the coach isn’t actually trying to get with his mom

TBC in part 2

I love all the different ways the older men in Jamie’s life have now NUTURED him and it shows.

Ted tried to shake Jamie’s hand in season 1 when he took him off the field (to teach him a lesson) but he makes no similar effect here in season 3. Because it’s not necessary. Taking him off the field here is not only because he’s injured and needs to come off, but an opportunity for fans to honor him. That’s profound and Jamie gets that. He has to fight back tears.

Beard having an extra moment of not breaking eye contact and the clapping is significant too. He’s always been reserved with Jamie. But very supportive here. Jamie’s talent was never questioned only his attitude.

And of course Roy honors Jamie in multiple ways. Not just acknowledgement verbally, his radiant proud smile, a nod, clapping or a handshake. All that plus a significant bear hug and multiple fond pats at his accomplishments and whispered praise.

Just think of what it means for Tartt to hear this. And what it means for his family. JAMIE TARTT 3.11 ― “Mom City”

Ted Lasso, as a show, was harmed by the short seasons that are commonplace in productions today and would've benefitted from 20 episode seasons with room for filler episodes. In this essay I will-

Jamie breaks Ted’s heart ❤️‍🩹 Ted has his first panic attack in the karaoke when the song “let it go” plays ….he’s failed his marriage and his son. And Jamie.

Ted only praises Jamie in the press despite Jamie’s negative comments.

Ted sees Jamie’s father yelling at him for doing exactly what Ted had been trying to teach him.

Their shoulders are so close during Ted’s offered Cheers 🍻

Ted talks about how sports ⚽️ teaches “never give up” - but - that should apply to people not just the athletics.

Ted has another panic attack after Jamie is struggling on the field. He hears Jamie’s father’s voice yelling at Jamie in connection with us own son’s voice about Jamie.

Jamie’s father’s reappearance again triggers Ted when Jamie breaks down with Roy.

with Dr. Sharon Ted tells her - he can’t let someone whose hurting get by him.

Not after what happened with his father.

Ted and his baby shark 🦈 gaze at Jamie

Whether Jamie is connected to Ted as a mirror image of himself (as an angry young man) or Ted’s father issues & Jamie’s father issues being a connection or his relationship trying to reach his own son Henry……

Helping Jamie is Ted’s mission statement from the beginning. That’s how the team will win. And he’s right.

Puzzle 🧩 pieces fit together.

Ted said as much to Trent in his interview. That’s why he loves coaching.

Helping people get what they need.

Every single week the stills get released and it’s just another picture of these 3 that looks exactly like this lmao

[everyday-is-uncle-day]

Jamie wanting to own his bad behavior and apologize doesn’t go well with the team, and Ted jumps in to end it.

Then jumps in with Led Tasso.

And what’s interesting is Isaac’s “you got us relegated” as a complaint. Because that *isn’t* a fair complaint against Jamie’s actual bad bad behavior, which is what he’s apologizing for.

That is Jamie the brightest footballer, the greatest athlete, that adapts, learns and grows.

Jamie retains everything from his coaching, as he mentions things he learned from Pep. He is the only one that gets how to play total football, not the concept, the execution. Jamie knows because he’s retained the training from Pep and has been getting extra training with Roy.

Ted jumping in because he can see this difference?

Jamie the athlete vs Jamie the person.

It’s the emotional side that needs work with Jamie.

As Ted said from the beginning with Jamie - he’s gotta figure out someway to adapt. Be a team player. And it’s hard to be a team player when your team blames you for being the best player.

Besides the fact when Jamie acted like jerk mocking Ted - the team laughed with his antics. They seem to forget that fact.

When Jamie is transferred back to Manchester (which he didn’t want) then they start to be offered by Jamie’s bad behavior towards Ted.

Ted constantly reaffirms positivity towards Jamie, despite his insults. Which is why Jamie assumes it’s mind games.

We definitely need more fic exploring Led Tasso, Jamie’s response, and like All of That.

beard/ted soulmate au where ted and beard have known each other for forever but ted and michelle had known each other for a slightly longer forever so beard has always known them as tedandmichelle and so obviously ted and beard must be platonic soulmates right?

because ted has michelle and beard has a series of five minute flings and doesn’t think too much how it’s almost like there’s someone who’s taking up more of his attention.  

And now ted’s marriage is falling apart and together ted and beard are upending their lives to move across the atlantic and for the first time there’s technically an opportunity for their relationship to also change but also beard doesn’t want that he wants to be the steady sure known thing in ted’s upside down world, because that’s what ted has always been to beard.  

Beard thinks if he can just be the same person he’s always been then ted will come to him with his problems the same he’s always has but he can’t tell if it’s new problems or if what they had was a lie, if they knew each other for decades and ted just kept all of his panic and trauma inside him, if he was drowning the whole time and beard never knew a thing
