Ted Lasso Season 4, Episode 9 Recap: “Mae Rides the Bus”
As the episode opens, Keeley is at a Lady Greyhound’s game, visibly anxious as Richmond’s chances for promotion diminish. Amidst her cheering, Gemma, who is on the bench, is eager to play but is held back by various team members. Meanwhile, a chaotic moment ensues as Keeley faints in the stands.
After the game, Ted addresses reporters in a press conference, discussing Gemma’s rehab and the team’s resilience. He tries to maintain a positive outlook about their upcoming match, which is crucial for securing a promotion spot.
The scene then shifts to Keeley in Caroline’s office, where her health is scrutinized. After fainting again, Keeley checks a period-tracking app and realizes that she hasn’t had her period in eight weeks, creating uncertainty about a potential pregnancy.
At the Crown & Anchor, Ted chats with Mae while Henry supervises the other boys playing pinball. Mae humorously declines extra cash for watching Henry, humorously citing a hefty pinball tab.
Simultaneously, Roy is seen preparing dinner for Keeley. While she’s in the bathroom, he reassures her of a future vacation, blissfully unaware of her pregnancy test results, which reveal multiple positive outcomes.
Rebecca and Higgins are in the office discussing contract negotiations for Roy amid concerns about Rupert’s potential takeover. Zelda, a free spirit, joins the conversation and raises questions about the Milk sisters, whose silence poses a risk to Rebecca’s control.
