Ted Lasso season 4 finale explained: How Mae’s final effort changes Rebecca’s future. Did Ted join AFC Richmond?

Ted Lasso, the hit American drama starring Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham and Jeremy Swift, had its season 4 finale pn October 7 in the US. The Apple TV show took a nearly 3-year-long hiatus before arriving on the OTT space, offering more drama than the previous seasons. The Season 4 finale, titled Being Alive, wrapped up, leaving audiences wanting more. While several emotional arcs came to a close, some questions remain in the minds of fans. So, without further ado, let’s rewind the clock and see what happened.

Richmond is shaken by Mae's death

As AFC Richmond deals with the death of Mae Green's, the finale takes an emotional turn. The Richmond community, devastated when she dies while watching the women's team play Bristol City, honours Mae. The community also commemorates the influence Mae had on their lives, her friends and the club's extended family gather at the Crown & Anchor.

Ted's family is also unexpectedly impacted by Mae's death. As Ted battles with the profound loss, Henry starts to ask challenging questions about death, such as what happened to his own father. Ted then tries to sidestep the subject, but soon realises that his kid deserves honesty. He takes a seat with Henry and tells him the truth.


The story, after that, switches to a significant power battle at AFC Richmond. Zelda claims to have been discreetly buying shares from her friend Hugo Riddles. By the end, Hugo returns the Milk Sisters' shares to Rebecca. As a result, Rebecca and Zelda now own 49 per cent each in the club.

Ted's comeback is still uncertain

Ted's future becomes another topic of debate as the football coach makes an emotional return to Rebecca with his popular box of handmade biscuits. During the conversation, Ted declares that he has been thinking about going back to AFC Richmond, especially because the men's managing position is open.

But the ending does not reveal what he will do next, leaving viewers hanging. Rebecca doesn’t give the green signal to Ted in leading the men's squad. Simultaneously, Ted is also not appointed as the manager of AFC Richmond formally
