What people are saying in comments
Goodbye, Mae RIP Ted Lasso wont be the same without you.
Love you Mae! Forever in our hearts
The tribute to Anthony Head just finished me.
Heart broke, and then broke again when I saw the dedication.
I need a session with Dr Sharon after this episode. Cheering for Shannon & then Mae passing within moments was just....
I cried so hard... Roy with Keeley was so incredibly sweet and amazing, he's going to be the BEST dad!!
His purposeful, specific, slow breathing during this was really well done.
Loved this, my husband was moved by it. Fabulous acting AND BREATHING
Probably the best scene in the whole series,actions speak louder than words
Best episode of this season!
This episode was absolutely everything
So excited @appletv please say we're getting a season 5
The freaking WHIPLASH of this episode
We watched the ending twice. Did we miss when they said Mae is dead? Or is it just assumed that she is? So confused. Please help.
I hate that they killed off Mae
I knew it, the moment a 'co star's gets bigger screentime, they die.
Did not like this episode at the end
We're more than half a season in and there is ZERO plot development. Totally disappointing
