Ted Lasso Season 3 Episode 6 Recap
The latest episode starts with Richmond losing an exhibition match badly in Amsterdam. Ted Lasso allows his team to go out without a curfew to regroup. The team is excited, especially Higgins, who wants to visit the infamous Red Light District with young William.
Why does Higgins take William to the Red Light District?
Higgins announces to the team he is taking William to the Red Light District to become a man. However, he takes him to a joint called Prins Hendrik.
Higgins shows him a plaque of Chad Baker. He was a gifted American trumpet player who died falling out of a window at that location. They spend the night listening to jazz. Eventually, Higgins takes the stage to play the jazz cello and receives a standing ovation.
What does Jamie teach Roy?
Jamie teaches Roy how to ride a bike. It’s revealed that this is a source of shame for Roy. His grandfather tried to teach him, but he refused to learn.
Later, he died, and it has always been on Roy’s mind. The entire night Roy and Jamie run through Amsterdam. After talking, Roy reveals he’s bothered by the fact that Keeley has a girlfriend. We know Keeley is out with Jack.
Who does Rebecca meet in Amsterdam?
Rebecca is walking around Amsterdam when a man feels compelled to stop her. Of course, he speaks English, as well as Dutch. She’s in a bike lane and doesn’t realize it. Rebecca is then accidentally knocked off the bridge into the canal. She loses her phone, and the man tosses his own phone in the canal to let her know she doesn’t need it.
Rebecca takes a shower in his home and washes her clothes. He also leaves her tea with a note promising it’s not drugged. They enjoy a wonderful night together, having drinks and dinner. They even throw their drinks on her clothes in the dryer, so she won’t be able to leave. As the night progresses, Rebecca falls asleep on the couch after receiving a foot rub from him.

It appears Rebecca has met her “s***e in nining armour” that we heard predicted earlier this season.
Where does Colin go in Amsterdam?
Colin sneaks off to an LGBTQ+-friendly bar in Amsterdam called Prik. Trent follows him after Colin makes an excuse not to hang out with the team. When Colin sees him, he pretends he came into the establishment by mistake. Trent then follows him out of the bar.
They talk, and Trent reveals he also came out years ago to his family. As Trent listens to Colin, he unveils the isolation and loneliness he feels because he keeps his personal and professional life separate. Colin credits Dr. Sharon with helping him with the ache he feels inside. Also, he longs to kiss his “fella” in public, just like his teammates kiss their partners after a match.
What drug does Coach Beard give Ted Lasso?
Coach Beard gives Ted Lasso what we can only assume is a psychedelic drug in some tea. Beard comments that it opens up neural pathways in the brain. Ted is hesitant to take it. As he stalls, Beard drinks his entire portion. As they sit there for a while, Ted permits Beard to leave. After he leaves, Ted sits there for a while, watching the spiked drink. He eventually chugs it and heads out.
We think Ted Lasso must be at the Van Gogh Museum because he takes in the artist’s most famous works. First, one of the famous painter’s thirty-five self-portraits. The other appears to be the painting titled Sunflowers.
The fact that this is the Kansas state flower is not lost on Ted, who is overcome with emotion. It appears Ted is very homesick. The next thing we know, he is in Amsterdam’s Yankee Doodle Burger Barn, which is an establishment that’s a tribute to American culture.
At this point, I am wondering when the psychedelic drug will kick in. Eventually, after ordering an onion ring tower, a waiter, who appears to be Nate, walks by.
After a quick second glance, it’s not him at all. After Ted tells the waitress to surprise him with a sauce, she brings him Arthur Bryant BBQ sauce. This is significant because it’s a famous brand in Kansas.
He continues watching a famous Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls basketball replay. This causes Ted to hallucinate a presentation of the team’s famous “triangle” offense. Ted takes all night, creating a new strategy for his team.

What did you think of Ted Lasso Season 3 Episode 6? Comment below.
I really, really love this episode. Warm, funny, with some great interactions. And the Dutch fo what are best in: no sweet talking
The psychic made 4 predictions. Three have come true and they all involve Rebecca’s romances: Sam (green matchbook), John Winggarden (s***e in nining armor) and the “Dutchman” (upside down and drenched). Logically, the 4th prediction (family) has to involve one of Rebecca’s romances as well. Down the road in Episode ??, Rupert cheats on Bex, Bex finds out and goes to Rebecca who takes in Bex and her – and Rupert’s – child. Voila! A family. And they all have the same last name: Welton.
I am guessing Rebecca gets pregnant by the Dutchman??
It’s Chet Baker, not Chad
