    Feels like the show is now on the upswing for a positive season ending.

    Glad they handled the Rebecca/Sam parting gently.

    Obscure reference: Rupert completely giving up the club to Rebecca after having a child reminds me of the plot of one of the characters in First Among Equals https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090431/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_5

    The Football is Life podcast for this episode talked about some references such as the film After Hours and Homer’s The Odyssey

    as far as the episode goes. what a trip (pun intended)!
    I was surprised the only recreational chemical was alcohol.  Thought for sure there would be psychedelic elements.

    I switched off halfway through. I realised I have no interest in more than a couple of minutes of Coach Beard an episode. 
    Maybe scan near the end for the dance scene.

    SPOILERS for some other Apple TV+ shows


    "Hundreds of iPhones Are in ‘Ted Lasso.’ They’re More Strategic Than You Think."

    "We watched 40+ hours of the streaming service to analyze Apple's product placement strategy Watch an Apple TV+ show and you’re likely to notice a lot of iPhones, iPads and other Apple products. We analyzed 74 episodes of the streaming service’s top shows, including “Ted Lasso,” and “The Morning Show,” to better understand the strategy behind all that product placement."

    Mixed bag of emotions for me this week. I love Sam, I love Rebecca, but I don’t love Sam and Rebecca. She’s his boss and it’s creepy. I was really hoping they wouldn’t go there.
    I think once they decided on a Sam/Rebecca romance, they had to consummate it, otherwise Rebecca might be viewed as racist.  I don't think the relationship will last long. 

    Sam might be set up for bad things to happen, given the oil company/home government is very angry at him.
