*Warning: Spoilers ahead and some may find this content distressing*<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The Ted Lasso season 4 finale sees Ted lie to Henry about how his dad died, before eventually sitting him down to tell him the truth. Although the camera cuts away as Ted explains, the heartbreaking story was actually revealed a couple of seasons ago. <\/span><\/p>\n

Season 4 episode 10<\/a> of the Apple TV series, \u2018Being Alive\u2019, once again proves it can make us chuckle and sob in equal measure, with the opening scene diving straight into the Crown & Anchor for Mae\u2019s (Annette Badland) memorial<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ted (Jason Sudeikis) and Henry\u2019s (Grant Feely) relationship has been a huge part of this chapter, particularly as Ted has tried to work out what truly being there for his son looks like. Mae\u2019s death challenges him further as Henry asks his father a painful question: \u201cHow did your dad die?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ted stumbles over his words, but before he can say anything more, Henry fills in the blanks. \u201cNana told me that he fell down some steps and hit his head. Is that true?\u201d he asks, to which Ted replies, \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days later, it\u2019s clear the lie is weighing on Ted. He admits to Beard (Brendan Hunt) that Henry had wanted an honest answer from him, but instead he went a bit \u201cserpentine\u201d – aka he dodged the truth. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ted later apologises to Henry for missing so many of his football games and promises to move things around next year so he can be there for more of them. But there\u2019s something much bigger he needs to make right. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s actually something else I want to talk about with you,\u201d Ted says. The camera cuts away as Ted gives Henry the truth about his dad. <\/span><\/p>\n

How did Ted Lasso\u2019s dad die? <\/h2>\n

Ted\u2019s dad, Jim Lasso, died by suicide when Ted was 16 years old. The truth was first revealed in season 2 episode 8 after Ted saw a painful confrontation between Jamie (Phil Dunster) and his own father.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the episode, after Richmond lost to Manchester City, Jamie\u2019s dad humiliated him in the locker room, causing Jamie to snap and punch him. The incident visibly upset Ted, who had also been experiencing panic attacks. <\/span><\/p>\n

He left the room and called team psychologist Dr Sharon Fieldstone (Sarah Niles). It\u2019s then that he told her for the first time, \u201cMy father killed himself when I was 16,\u201d although he wasn\u2019t ready to dive into it any further. <\/span><\/p>\n

Two episodes later revealed even more about what happened. As Ted prepared to attend the funeral of Rebecca\u2019s (Hannah Waddingham) father, he suffered a panic attack and opened up to Dr Sharon about the day his dad died. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ted explained that on Friday 13th, 1991, his friends were meant to be coming over for a Friday the 13th movie marathon. At home, he heard a gunshot and went upstairs to find his father dead. Ted called 911 before going to the fridge, grabbing one of his father\u2019s beers and downing it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ted admitted he spent years feeling angry with his dad for leaving him and his mum behind, but as is the case with losing anyone to suicide, his feelings are much more complicated than that. <\/span><\/p>\n

“He was a good dad. And I don’t think he knew that. I think if he would’ve known how good he was at stuff he didn’t really care about being good at, I don’t think he’d done what he\u2026 And I wish I would’ve told him,” Ted explained. \u201cI wish I would\u2019ve told him more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The loss ultimately shaped the person Ted became. He told Sharon that afterwards he promised himself he would never let someone in his life pass him by without trying to understand what they might be going through. <\/span><\/p>\n

It also makes his season 4 conversation with Henry particularly poignant: Ted knows first hand what it\u2019s like to lose a father at a young age and he wants to be the best dad he can to his son. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before revealing the truth, Ted confirms to Henry that his dad was around the same age he is now when he died. But, he adds, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I\u2019m good on stairs.\u201d Knowing what we know as the viewer, it\u2019s clear he\u2019s really reassuring Henry that he isn\u2019t going to lose his dad in the same way Ted lost his.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ted Lasso\u2019s suicide storyline has literally saved lives <\/h2>\n

Mental health has always been a huge part of Ted Lasso<\/a>, with actor and co-creator Jason Sudeikis previously explaining that the show\u2019s heavier storylines weren\u2019t something the writers suddenly decided to introduce in season 2. <\/span><\/p>\n

He told <\/span>US Weekly<\/span><\/a> at the time, \u201cIn regard to the mental health stuff, it was just there. It\u2019s been there forever but it\u2019s really come up a lot in just knowing where the characters were headed and how important it is to work on yourself to help your team.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think that we were trying to explore that and personify it in a way and kind of trojan horse that there\u2019s bigger issues in this fun, silly little comedy show.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And the Apple TV<\/a> show\u2019s decision to tackle the tricker subjects has gone on to have real world impact. <\/span><\/p>\n

As he said to the Kansas City Star in 2023, \u201cWe\u2019ve all (in the cast) had people come up to us and say, \u2018Oh my God, this show has saved my life.\u2019 And I\u2019ve said, \u2018Me, too.\u2019 And they usually laugh. And yet I\u2019m not joking. As I know that they\u2019re not joking with me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On the topic of the suicide storyline, Sudeikis explained, \u201cNow I\u2019ve had people literally tell me how it saved their lives in deeply moving ways, emotional ways of decisions that they wanted to make for their lives similar to Ted\u2019s father.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat this kind of talked them out of it because of the kids that they have and the people they\u2019d be leaving behind. That can move me to tears if I really sit and think with it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
