And often Ted does play that role, and well.
But Teds not right all the time.
With Dr. Sharon Fieldstone, those abilities have seemingly met their match.
But it doesnt work because Sharon, as shes now letting others call her, doesnt eat sugar.
Shes someone with the discipline to scoot away from bad habits.
Ted changes the subject by asking Sharon her favorite book, and their relationship shifts.
When she calls him on it, its tough to read the expression on Teds face.
That latter seems more likely.
So far, Sudeikis and Sarah Niless scenes together have been some of this still-young seasons best.
But its not enough.
What will make it enough?
Maybe, Ted bets by episodes end, the return of the previous seasons biggest problem: Jamie Tartt.
Jamie begins the episode with a string of humiliations.
(The nerve.)
Well, stalking may be too harsh a word.
Presumably taken with his honesty, she sets up a meeting with Ted.
This turns into a glum heart-to-heart at the pub.
(I hear Bonos father was a real piece of work.
Then again, so wasJoshua Tree.)
Jamie sees Ted both as a way back into football and maybe toward a happier sort of existence.
Ted, however, has his doubts.
And with good reason.
Teds reassurances that, no, Jamies not coming back soothe Sams nerves and restore his faith in Ted.
What effect Jamie showing up to practice will have remains to be seen.
(Because I could never be that free.)
It goes well, much to Roys annoyance.
Where the other commentators equivocate and pull punches, Roy says he thinks Chelsea played like shit.
His bluntness makes him a hit, much to Keeleys delight.
Oh, and Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.
Good jokes, Ted and Higgins.
Will a future episode feature Teds explanation for whyThe Fountainhead, of all books, is his favorite?
Ted tells Jamie that his dad was a lot harder on himself than he ever was on me.
He previously revealed that he lost his father at 16.
Bit by bit, were learning about the ways Teds father shaped his life.
