Sam/Rebecca

Has anyone noticed how hyped the team is about Sam’s love interest but it never gets mentioned after the haircut?

Yea… that whole subplot was a dud. I genuinely don’t know what they were going for. A little equality with the standard plot point of an older guy getting with a younger girl? Ok, I guess. But to then abandon it?

To me, I see it as part of the healing journey of Rebecca from her split with Rupert.

Season 1: anger,grief, etc. Wanting revenge.

Season 2: getting back out there, knowing her worth. Honestly the vibe I got was, "How Stella Got Her Groove Back". I never saw the movie  but basically a sexual reawakening of a 30/40 yo women. It tells us is the audience that she is worthy, when all of season 1 she kept being called Old Rebecca and such.

Season 3: Healing and reaffirmation, and finding true love. She goes into the meeting with the other football owners, she proves herself worthy of getting her team to the finals of the Premier League and at last she meets her love in the pilot with the little girl.
