\n\tSPOILER ALERT: This post spoils Ted Lasso<\/a> Season 4 Episode 4, titled \u201cGreyhounds\u2019 Day Off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat starts out as a day off for the Lady Greyhounds in the fourth episode of Ted Lasso Season 4 quickly turns into an important team-bonding exercise, purposeful or not, when they attend Mae\u2019s (Annette Badland) reinstated pub quiz night at the Crown & Anchor on Coach Ted Lasso\u2019s (Jason Sudeikis) orders.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an attempt to dispel the cliques \u2014 divided into attackers, midfielders and defenders \u2014 that have formed between the female athletes, Ted demands the team attend this nighttime activity, and they then split up into three teams themselves, with Ted, Beard and Alice making up a fourth, and a group of guys comprising a fifth.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a very clever old scene, that whole storyline. It also foreshadows all of our parts of the team and the parts that we play within the team,\u201d Abbie Hern<\/a>, who portrays striker Gemma Jay, told Deadline \u201cWhen we\u2019re faced with that immediate adversity, Gemma will be like \u2018Absolutely not. You\u2019re saying we can\u2019t do something, you watch us do it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen the group of guys starts making fun of the Lady Greyhounds, telling them they recognize them as women footballers whose \u201cstyle, stamina\u201d and more differentiate them from the men, it no longer matters which clique the players are part of within\u2019 their team, because women from each subsection rise up to retaliate as a united front.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m like a mama bear. I shall jump in and make sure \u2014 scream in the face of anyone,\u201d Faye Marsay<\/a>, who stars as defender Lizzie, added. \u201cIt\u2019s that coming together of the group, which is just gorgeous.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe argument turns into a full-on fight, culminating in goalkeeper Katie \u201cBoots\u201d Quinn grabbing a beer bottle \u2014 despite mentioning that she doesn\u2019t drink \u2014 to take a swig, empty it out and then bash into one of the lads\u2019 heads.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[Boots is] an agent of chaos. I think it\u2019s that turning point for the team of becoming a team. In a classic Ted Lasso style, that being done in such a silly, fun way of it being a bottling in a pub is perfect,\u201d Mack said of her character\u2019s movements in response to the heckling. \u201cI think, for the character, it\u2019s the moment where she uses that aggression for loyalty and to stand up for for the gals, which is very fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThese antics do briefly land all parties involved in jail, but Zelda Southport (Tracey Ullman) comes to the rescue and bails everyone out just before Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) and Keeley (Juno Temple) arrive, fresh from their makeup session, and Higgins (Jeremy Swift) pulls up with results of the FA Cup draw for who the women will play next: Chelsea. The match will be at home.<\/p>\n

\n\tTurns out this little side quest did the trick Ted was hoping it would and cemented the team outside of their smaller groups they had turned to in stress, as Dr. Sharon Fieldstone (Sarah Niles) told Trent Crimm (James Lance) in their special guest star appearance on Trent\u2019s podcast that he now hosts.<\/p>\n
