Because that’s just it-while Inverting the Pyramid (the book Beard is reading) is about football, success in any form, shape or size is measured by teamwork and the choices each and every person makes that’ll benefit those around them as well as themselves.ĪFC Richmond’s hard work and devotion is rewarded when it pays off through what mimics an acute manifestation of belief. And metaphorically, it’s so harrowing, there are very few words to describe it. The impact is detrimental and in this scenario, though Ted is the one who sees it, it’s as though a piece of each of them is cut off. The torn up “believe” sign at the end is equivalent to Darth Vader cutting off Luke Skywalker’s hand in Empire Strikes Back. And then shortly after a win, it crushes your heart just as easily as it pulled you up. Ted Lasso’s “Inverting the Pyramid of Success” unsurprisingly emphasizes the importance of belief so beautifully, this version of the tap is now my favorite thus far.

Inverting the Pyramid of Success and Teamwork While a person can be robbed of their own agency, the next step is theirs regardless. It’s the one thing that is ours fully, and it’s the one thing that no one else is responsible for. It cements the idea that every choice is a chance, and it spotlights the detail that choices are all we have. The season finale sets sail with one of the strongest themes to date (an underlying current all throughout)-the importance of choice.

There are still questions to be answered and developments to be had, but “Inverting the Pyramid of Success” is a solid finale regardless.ĪFC Richmond got themselves promoted, and the series triumphed without falling victim to the sophomore slump. It delivers on what it had promised, it wraps some storylines up while still leaving us in the dark forest (as imagined). It’s both jarring and satisfying, which is always a riveting finale tactic.

Written remarkably by Jason Sudeikis and Joe Kelly, Ted Lasso’s “Inverting the Pyramid of Success” marks the second season’s finale in a big way.
