She expected Jack’s solution would be to use her vast resources to find the perpetrator, not blame the victim - choking back tears as she reads the line “I’ll use the opportunity to learn and grow.”

The look of disappointment on Keeley’s face is heartbreaking. We later learn that Jack’s idea of “handling” the problem entails penning a stock PR apology for Keeley to post, accepting blame for the sex tape. Jack stops short, but in calculating foreshadowing tells her “I’ll handle it.” As a result, Keeley has been the victim of revenge porn - with a self-recorded sex tape being uploaded on the internet.Ĭurled up next to the bed, distraught at the embarrassment and damage, all Keeley needs is an embrace. There’s been a hack, compromising the private data of numerous celebrities.

While the couple lovingly snuggle and plan to visit Jack’s “uncle,” with Keeley’s importance growing past a fling for Jack, suddenly it’s all interrupted by endless phone notifications. However, in classic Ted Lasso fashion, true joy doesn’t last very long. This is the most heartbreaking storyline inside of “We’ll Never Have Paris.” Keeley and Jack’s’ relationship has had the same growing pains all new relationships do, with the pair feeling each other out and trying to assert what they do and don’t like (such as Keeley not appreciating Jack’s “love bombs”). “We’ll never have Paris” is a sprawling treatise on relationships - romantic, platonic, and those moving in between these phases. It’s perfect, because he gets to put on his saccharine-sweet exterior, while also feeling like he’s filling his duty as coach and mentor. He subconsciously craves sadness around him, because when others’ are mired in their own woes it serves as a shield to deflect from Ted’s personal life. When everyone around him are at their happiest, Ted is his most miserable - and vice versa. The “fish out of water” premise on which Ted Lasso is based, extends to his disjointed emotional rollercoaster. Then we cut to an all too familiar scene: Ted, locked deep in depression, having to feign happiness across from his ex-wife and her new lover. Everyone is raving about the Greyhounds’ run using “Total Football,” and how overjoyed Ted Lasso must be at his team’s results.
