The final episode of Lasso's first season is a triumph *spoilers ahead* The show deftly walks the line between realism and comedy as Lasso's squad fails to secure a spot in the Premier League. I wouldn't have believed it possible to feel so hopeful and happy at the end of a season that culminated in a heartbreaking defeat. Truly, before I started the episode I thought to myself: "There's no way they can make this episode good AND have them lose this game." Yet they did. The character development and resolution somehow managed to justify the surprising twists and turns. Rebecca's decision to keep Ted was entirely justified by her redemption in the previous episode. How could she fire a man who had come so close to winning and had just days before forgiven her for her extremely selfish actions? Overall, this was an excellent finish for all the characters. Particularly Ted and Jaime.
