This problem was encountered by Ted Lasso after it took a three-year break. In the fourth season finale entitled “Being Alive,” there are various emotional arcs wrapped up, but still, room is left for what might come in the future. Mae’s last effort, Rebecca’s future plans, Roy’s career path, and Ted’s return to AFC Richmond all form part of what the finale offers to each character.

The ending commences with everyone in Richmond mourning the passing away of Mae Green following her death, where she dies while watching the women’s team put up a spirited fight against Bristol City. Everyone in Richmond gathers for the memorial service held at the Crown & Anchor to pay tribute to the deceased. Meanwhile, Ted also learns that his son Henry has been affected by the death of Mae, as he misses her and helps with doing homework and asks about how his father died. At first, Ted tries to evade giving Henry the answer until he finally takes his son aside to tell him the truth. The main twist in this episode occurs when there is a fight in AFC Richmond concerning control over the club.

Hugo eventually sells the shares belonging to the Milk Sisters back to Rebecca, leaving Zelda and Rebecca with 49 percent of the shares each.
