Should they stay or should they go?  We finish out the second season of “Ted Lasso” with “Inverting the Pyramid of Success” in which it seems like almost everyone has to make a decision about parting:  Sam must decide if we will follow Edwin Akufo back to Africa or stay with Richmond–and Rebecca.  Keely must deal with how to tell Rebecca she will be moving on from Richmond to run her own business.  And hard on the heels of revealing Ted’s panic attacks, Nate casts his lot with Rupert and West Ham.
