It's not Roy who should be apologising, Nate as I have thought for a long while now has let power corrupt him, he's becoming far less likeable than he was in the early days of season one. Ted has suddenly gone from being a likeable, funny, and happy man to someone whose almost every scene is the writers trying to portray that he has some problem that is in series need of addressing, which he clearly does, but we get that stop cramming it down the audiences throat, get to the point already, there's only so much therapist-Lasso back and forth that can remain interesting. I don't think the therapist has been portrayed as someone particularly positive, Ted has had a bad experience with them and the therapist is so far on screan doing nothing to help herself, she isn't exactly rude just totally emotionless and it makes it nigh on impossible to empathise with her character. The texting continues between Rebecca and Sam but literally goes nowhere yet, this episode and I do like it when people say it, but it felt a little like "filler" on reflection. Nate starts one way, learns his lesson and is back to his old ways in the - he hasn't changed. Ted is able to sit in the therapist's chair without storming off so that's progress. Keeley decides that she sees too much of her own boyfriend and in the end it's somehow his fault and he leaves her alone for three hours - OK. And some people text with no reply.
The episode was fine, all the issues will be ressolved in future episode, there is no doubt about it, but the only issues ressolved in this episode were ones the episode created, all the issues they had unresolved from previous episodes remained unressolved (with no progress) by the end despite being given plenty of screentime each.
