Im a little late on watching Ted Lasso so forgive me if this has been asked before but why did we never get a second confrontation with Jamie and his dad? Seems like a solid story point that could have been utilized. Or why didn’t Isaac or Roy kick Jamie’s dad’s ass? Definitely had it coming. Idk, feels like an abandoned storyline to me. Could have had a better ending imo.

    Don’t we see Jamie reconnecting with his dad in rehab in the ending montage? Why should there be another confrontation to rehash what we’d already seen? I loved seeing that his dad had gotten help and that they were headed in a more positive direction.

    At Ted’s suggestion, Jamie forgave his dad during the Man City game in Manchester.

    Then he went and visited him in rehab.

    It was a perfect ending to Jamie’s loss, growth and redemption arc, imo.

    The locker room scene at Wembley was actually the second confrontation with Jamie and his dad. S1:E10. Jamie was playing for Man City in the season 1 finale at Richmond. Jamie uses Nate’s play where he is the decoy and passes the ball to another player who scores. After Richmond loses, Ted goes to congratulate Jamie on making the pass for the winning assist. Ted almost walks in on James Tartt violently belittling and berating Jamie for not taking the final goal.

    OP I’m sorry everyone in the comments couldn’t understand that you haven’t finished the series and ruined a nice part of season 3. I hope you can still enjoy the rest of Jamie’s story.

      “Could have had a better ending” implies OP has reached the end. Why say something like that when you haven’t actually reached the end?

    There were 3 “confrontations” in the series already:

    1. We first hear about the confrontations during the training room cleansing ritual.

    2. What Ted witnesses after the game at the end of season one.

    3. Then the locker room at Wembley.

    We have more than enough info about the relationship from that.
