Warning: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED EPISODE 2 OF TED LASSO SEASON 3.
Ready?
Ok.
When Ted Lasso ended Season 2, the future of the show’s beloved power couple, Roy Keny and Keeley Jones, was clearly in trouble.
Keeley’s career was skyrocketing as she earned her own PR firm. Roy’s wasn’t necessarily going the other direction, but his time as a star on the football pitch had ended and had transitioned to the sideline as a coach at AFC Richmond.
At the start of Season 3, our favorite gruff footballer and spunky public relations guru explain to Phoebe — Roy’s niece — that they’d be splitting up. She becomes the first to hear of the breakup (after AFC Richmond owner Rebecca, we can assume), and it wasn’t until this week’s Episode 2 that the rest of the team finds out the news.
REVIEW: Ted Lasso’s third season feels like the end — now we have to trust them to stick the landing
They took it about as well as fans of the show did:

But there was one moment in particular that stood out to viewers.
It was when AFC Richmond star Jamie Tartt, who also dated Keeley, found out that Roy and Keeley split. Jamie, who professed his love for Keeley in Season 2’s “No Weddings and a Funeral” episode, exemplified the growth of his character by comforting Roy, his former teammate-turned-assistant coach.
Watch Ted Lasso on Apple TV+It was a wonderful moment where both showed vulnerability, which the two characters also shared during a pivotal moment in Season 2. Here is is what happened:

loved both these misdirects. jamie looking like he'll follow keeley but going to roy and rebecca looking like she's following rupert but instead going for zava. two people whom we've seen grow throughout the show, making good choices instead of harmful ones. pic.twitter.com/622IBTAN9y

When Isaac tells Jamie about the breakup and we have both Roy & Keeley in the frame, leaving the corridor…and we have Jamie deciding what to do. And then he goes & checks on ROY, instead of going after Keeley!!
