Ted is wayyy too nice of a person. Like even after finding out what Beard did to him, how he got screwed by his ex, and when he found out he was meant to fail. He always gave people the benefit of the doubt, and saw the best in them. Personally I would not have brought Nate back to Richmond, or at a minimum I would have locked him in a room with Roy, Isaac, and Bumbercatch ( I just feel like he is low-key vengeful as hell) and make him realise his mistake. I would also leave him in a dimly lit room with a single lightbulb and Beard.
