story lines we have the shipping of two characters that i know a lot of you all been waiting to see

make sure to like and share the video it helps out the channel a lot but i also appreciate the
support and in the comments let's talk about this fantastic episode again last week it didn't really
have all the main storylines that we've gotten so far in the season and i love the kind of one-off
fantastic christmas episode but this episode to me has a lot of good things about it and also
sets the stage up for maybe some conflict in the clubhouse with the new coach that they hire but
outside of those things i love the narrative that we get with isaac i love the theme in this
episode more importantly and it's just about being yourself and being confident in yourself and i
really love that going through the main storyline but again rebecca and ted i i didn't see it coming
last year i'm just like they just be good friends but man they have a lot of things in common but i
really enjoyed this episode but let me know in the comments what you all thought about this episode
five some of your highs your lows and what you hope to see in the weeks ahead but let's get into
the recap as the episode opens up with a classic ted lasso speech as we know the team has a great
management they have a great you know coaching staff they have great players that believe in one
another can lean on one another but none of that is unfortunately translating to w's on the field
we see that they have yet to win a game they've been tying games or losing games so we see ted
talking to the team and a lot of the teams kind of getting upset about this and particularly isaac
he's been off his game lately and we'll talk about him in this review but we see ted lasso giving
them the rom communism speech in regards to how in the rom-com genre which i love a good rom-com but
we all know by the end of the day everything works itself out and that's kind of what ted is telling
the team that yes we're not winning right now but we got a lot of good stuff going for us and by
the time it's all said and done everything will work itself out and i really hope so because i
really love this ball club and i want to see them start winning games sooner rather than later but
let's kind of transition to the main story the main characters in this episode we're starting
off with rebecca she's talking to higgins she's still doing her online thing she's really hitting
it off with this one fellow who she doesn't know who his name is doesn't know who he looks like we
know who it is later in the episode which we'll talk about but higgins tells her again the big
theme about this episode was be yourself whether that's rebecca whether that's ted whether that's
roy whether that's uh you know nate that's uh isaac you know i really enjoyed that narrative
because it is so important and that's why i love my daily dose of ted lasso it reminds me it
implements things in my life like hey be yourself you know and it's such a good message that we
should be hearing on a day-to-day basis that just be yourself be confident yourself be confident in
who you are as a person and i really enjoyed that narrative that we get throughout the episode but
let's talk about the man who doesn't feel that confident about himself and that is nate which
we see in this episode he wants to be famous as he comes to keely and the reason he wants to be
famous because he wants to celebrate his parents anniversary at a restaurant that's one of their
favorite restaurants not a fancy restaurant but a restaurant they have less complaints
about right than nate says but he unfortunately doesn't have the confidence to tell the waitress
he wants that special seat he wants that table by the window he just doesn't have the confidence to
really tell them i need that seat even though they don't have reservations let's make it happen he's
having a hard time kind of speaking up for himself and that's where keeley brings him into rebecca
and she kind of gives him the whole speech of how she has her confidence how she has to talk to the
other owners of the you know the soccer league and how she's she feels kind of little right she
feels like a kid when she's in those rooms but she has this self-confidence herself she kind of steps
out of her body and you know does her whole thing where she can really feel like she belongs in that
room she has that confidence that she knows that she exudes when she walks into a room she tries to
implement that into nate as we kind of see him becoming more assertive we we see him unnimbly
take his parents to the restaurant and at first the waitress has them go in the back but he goes
in the restroom he takes a moment he breathes in he looks in the mirror and tells himself who he is
be confident yourself goes out and makes it happen and ultimately gets a table that he wanted for his
family and we see that confidence translate to him being as a coach and something that's really
interesting about nate is if you guys remember in the first couple episodes nate was a little bit of
a jerk right and particularly to his tab the towel boy replacement he was really inserting himself in
regards to he wants to step up more he wants to do more he wants to be involved more in the ball club
or that i say the clubhouse and uh we'll see about that negativity and that kind of narrative with
a new coach taking over the spot that he maybe wanted to have which is be more of a leader so
again i love that nate is having that confidence on the field as a coach but also outside the field
but again i'm gonna see what happens with that new coach and nate moving forward and if nate
might want to go to another ball club where he feels more respected that's something to keep
an eye out for but i really enjoyed what we get with the nate character in this episode but let's
move over over to my man ted and also roy now we're having roy being approached by ted in this
episode to be a coach on a team and immediately roy shoots that down he does not want to be a part
of the ball club he doesn't want to be a part of soccer anymore besides obviously what he's doing
when commentating but nonetheless we know ted's all about the trigger right he works his jedi mind
because obi-wan kenobi like oh okay you don't want to be a coach but we see that he tells him that
isaac the the team captain has been struggling lately and he wants him to help him out and just
knowing that if he's going to help that player out he's going to probably get that confidence like
maybe i can help more players and get back into my mojo getting close to the game because we know
roy kent loves the game of soccer but we see that whole story line play out as roy takes him isaac
and ted to his home his childhood soccer field and they play a game of soccer and he gets his mojo
back but that it was in that moment roy got so much happiness and seeing him giving good advice
and having this player get out of the funk that it really ultimately led him to make a decision that
he made towards in this episode but at first after he helped uh isaac out he did say no but we'll
talk about his decision by the end of this episode but going back to a really interesting moment and
you all have been saying it since day one of these reviews that you saw rebecca and ted lasso being a
thing i personally just thought they were going to be friends i honestly thought that ted maybe
was going to have his relationship with either his wife or [ __ ] but it's starting to look like
especially after last week with the christmas episode and then really hitting it off but then
after this episode where we see rebecca you know going back and forth with that person online
dating and that person is no other than ted lasso himself we see him smiling and having a good time
they have a lot in common and i think by the end of this season and i can't believe i'm saying
this i did not think this was going to happen last year ted lasso and rebecca will be a thing by the
end of the season especially the way things are shaping up so it's getting closer and closer to
that shipping that you guys have been calling for but nonetheless wrapping up the episode as we go
back to roy who's commentating the game and he's just watching the game he's like you know what
i miss the game so we see him running to the field he pops his knee out despite injuries and all that
stuff all the obstacles he had to face he makes it back on the field he's welcomed by uh the crowd
you know giving him applause the players are happy he's there ted coach beard's happy the only person
that wasn't happy that he decided to be coach kent was our boy nate so i think that's going to be a
conflict in the coming weeks like nate's like i wanted to be what you brought roy in for he wants
to be that big dog he wants to be that person that can speak to the players and get them get
their confidence level up but not anymore after coach kent has taken over that vacancy spot so
that's going to be something interesting to keep an eye out for but nonetheless again i love the
theme of the episode of being yourself i love the the self-confidence and all the messages of film
this episode had to offer i'm really intrigued to see where this rebecca and ted lasso relationship
goes i'm really intrigued to see where nate and this whole conflict maybe between him and coach
kent goes and again can we win some ball games that's what i really want to see but nonetheless
i really enjoyed this episode but i want to know what you all thought this fifth episode
