As Season 1 of “Ted Lasso” unfolds, the audience finds out that Ted struggles with his mental health, and specifically suffers from panic attacks. It becomes a huge plot point of the entire show, but in the Season 1 episode “Make Rebecca Great Again,” he has one of his first major panic attacks since being in the U.K. In this episode, everyone is celebrating Rebecca’s one-year anniversary of being divorced from her ex-husband while out of town for an away game. However, Ted doesn’t have much to celebrate because he just received his divorce papers from his wife and is struggling to come to terms with the end of his marriage.
In the episode, they all go to a karaoke bar to sing, drink, and have a good time. Rebecca starts singing “Let It Go” from “Frozen,” and though everyone is extremely impressed with her talents, Ted finds himself having a panic attack. He quickly leaves the bar and sits outside on the street, cradling his head in his hands. In this heart-wrenching scene, it’s Rebecca who pulls Ted out of his panic attack and tells him to breathe. She comforts him, gives him a hug, and sends him back to the hotel where he can recuperate.
It’s the first time we really see Rebecca emotionally connect with Ted, and it’s heartwarming to see that even though she hired him to fail, she still cares about him.
