Ted Lasso‘s titular coach suffers a devastating personal blow in Wednesday’s episode. When he calls residence to Kansas to want his son Henry good luck forward of his soccer recreation, he finds out that ex-wife Michelle has moved on with their former marriage counselor, Dr. Jacob.
Initially, Ted doesn’t know how one can course of his emotions, which leads to a panic assault out on the pitch. We ultimately see him work by way of a few of his resentment with Dr. Fieldstone, however the relationship clearly rubs him the incorrect manner — and for good cause.

Once he began going along with her, he felt prefer it was two in opposition to one; Dr. Jacob all the time appeared to took Michelle’s aspect. And now they’re relationship.
Naturally, Ted feels betrayed. But how may that bitterness fester transferring ahead? For that reply, we flip to the person himself, sequence co-creator and star Jason Sudeikis:
“When an ex moves on, that’s a very human experience,” he tells TVLine. “I believe the one factor that perhaps eliminates a number of the processes that individuals undergo when that occurs is that [Ted and Michelle] are an ocean and half a rustic aside.
Now, if Ted was nonetheless dwelling in Kansas, may he be performing some 7 pm drive-bys to see if Dr. Jacob’s automotive is within the driveway? Probably,” Sudeikis says with a smile. “He’s still human, even though he’s virtuous in many ways — more so, certainly, than myself. You know, you fall prey to those things, so I think you’ll see the process of him going through those things, including exploring, as you labeled it, a betrayal by Michelle, [as well as] what that relationship [with Dr. Jacob] turns into, and how Ted responds to that.”
