"La Locker Room Aux Folles" is the ninth episode of the third season of the American sports comedy-drama television series Ted Lasso, based on the character played by Jason Sudeikis in a series of promos for NBC Sports' coverage of England's Premier League.
Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) asks Roy (Brett Goldstein) to run a press conference when Ted (Jason Sudeikis) is unavailable.
After Roy skips the press conference, she angrily calls him to her office, telling him that he needs to stop doing only things that are easy for him.
Meanwhile, Jade (Edyta Budnik) visits Nate (Nick Mohammed) at work and meets Rupert (Anthony Head).
And yet, the didacticism of it all felt so, well, flat to me (like the locker room conversations about nudes from last week) that I couldn't help but snicker when we learn suddenly Colin becomes an even better player, praised by team, press, and coaches alike.
"[3] Keith Phipps of Vulture gave the episode a 2 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "It's one thing to have the whole team take a stand against racism, which makes sense.
'La Locker Room aux Folles' takes on some not-nice-at-all real-world problems only to wave them away while confirming the Greyhounds as a bubble where niceness smothers out any bursts of unpleasantness.
"[5] Christopher Orr of The New York Times wrote, "For anyone doubting the adage that less is sometimes more, I offer the example of this episode of Ted Lasso.
"[6] Fletcher Peters of The Daily Beast wrote, "Because we see the characters taking over Ted's roles, this episode is one of the most streamlined of the season.
