This article delves into five hidden details from "Ted Lasso" Season 4, Episode 7 titled “Yes & Baby.” It highlights Boots’ blue Land Rover, a nod to the BBC crime drama C.B. Strike, and reveals that Archie and Sean, the sons of character Lizzie, are played by real-life siblings Orion Ginsburg Chan and North Ginsburg Chan. Additionally, it mentions Coach Beard’s book choice, (Re)born in the USA by Roger Bennett, alongside his reading of Charlotte’s Web as suggested by one of Lizzie's children, potentially hinting at future plot developments.

For those who need a refresher, Season 4, Episode 7, “Yes & Baby” celebrated Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt’s love of improv as Alice (Tanya Reynolds) set out to approach life with a more positive mindset.
asserted
Alice → need → mindset
The eventful installment also gave viewers some much-needed insight into the lives of the Lady Greyhounds players off the pitch, showed Zelda (Tracey Ullman) help Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) sort an AFC Richmond issue, and forced Roy (Brett Goldstein) to accept an undeniable truth he’s tried to ignore.
asserted
he → give → truth
In between all of that, Ted Lasso delivered more fresh Easter eggs!
asserted
Lasso → deliver → eggs
Since Ted Lasso is such a thoughtfully crafted love letter to fans, each week until Season 4’s October 7 finale, Decider is taking a closer look at each episode and highlighting five moments that deserve to be put under the microscope.
asserted
that → craft → microscope
Whether they’re blink-and-miss-it details, brilliant Easter eggs, or major scenes that need to be talked through in greater depth, we’re here to obsess over, hypothesize, and dissect the series alongside you.
asserted
we → ’re → you
We’re also shouting out a standout needle drop each episode, since the show’s soundtrack absolutely slaps.
asserted
soundtrack → shout → drop
From George Fouracres and IRL siblings to Beard’s books, Boots’ Land Rover, and more, here are five things you may have missed in Ted Lasso Season 4, Episode 7, “Yes & Baby.”
-
Boots’ Badass Wheels
We also get eyes on Boots’ beautifully blue, battered wheels.
uncertain
get → miss → wheels
And if the vehicle looks familiar, that may be because it was the same one Robin Ellacott (Holliday Grainger) drove in the BBC’s crime drama C.B. Strike, which Ted Lasso‘s own Jeremy Swift appeared in.
uncertain
Swift → look → drama
(Speaking of meta Ted Lasso star references, Episode 407 also featured a hilarious joke about the show Industry, which starred Toheeb Jimoh, aka Sam Obisanya.)
asserted
which → speak → Jimoh
Episode 407’s incredible cold open gives viewers a long-overdue peek into the personal lives of Lizzie (Faye Marsay), Gemma (Abbie Hern), Boots (Jude Mack), Shannon (Shannon Hayes), Niamh (Aisling Sharkey), and Siobhan (Rex Hayes).
asserted
open → give → Lizzie
In doing so, we get a taste of a typical morning at Lizzie’s house with her two ridiculously adorable sons Archie and Sean, who — based on the end credits — appear to be played by real-life siblings Orion Ginsburg Chan and North Ginsburg Chan.
asserted
who → do → siblings
Since we’ve been diligently tracking the Ted Lasso Season 4 books each week, we’re bringing you another Beard’s Book Club.
asserted
we → track → Club
In 407, he’s spotted reading (Re)born in the USA: An Englishman’s Love Letter to His Chosen Home by British-American soccer commentator Roger Bennett.
asserted
he → spot → Bennett
Beard also winds up reading Lizzie’s son Archie’s book pick, Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White, which may or may not signal danger ahead?
uncertain
which → wind → danger
Especially after Archie misreads the “BELIEVE” sign as “Some pig,” the phrase Charlotte spun into her web to save her pal Wilbur the pig from being slaughtered.
asserted
Charlotte → misread → pal
-
Live from Ted Lasso: It’s George Fouracres
asserted
It → ’ → Lasso
In highlighting the fact that AFC’s women players are working other jobs to make up for their low salaries, Episode 407 shows Shannon delivering food in her personal time.
asserted
Shannon → highlight → time
And Donnie, the man who answers his door to receive an order, is played by none other than George Fouracres, British actor, comedian, and beloved SNL UK cast member.
asserted
who → answer → Fouracres
We love to see it!
asserted
We → love → it
In addition to Jason Sudeikis’ deep SNL ties, Ted Lasso‘s Hannah Waddingham recently hosted SNL UK.
asserted
Waddingham → host → UK
And later in the episode, when pretending to be Zelda’s secretary, Rebecca says, “DA BEARS!” in a classic nod to a fan-favorite SNL sketch that starred Sudeikis’ late uncle, George Wendt.
asserted
that → pretend → uncle
Though this one is a real reach — and, if anything, likely just a whiskey or Dilke Street reference — Dickel Street (where the twins live) made me think of Sudeikis’ Dick Fuel SNL sketch.
asserted
me → live → sketch
So let us all relive it!
asserted
us → let → it
Since Episode 407 is so jam-packed with Easter eggs, we figured we’d use this last blurb as a catch-all to highlight several.
asserted
we → figure → several
First up, Roy and Dani’s manager Derrick Tarp, played by Luke Norris, is yet another Derek in the Bill Lawrence/Brett Goldstein-verse.
asserted
Roy → play → verse
When Keeley goes to look for her package in Episode 403, the front desk man asks if she spoke with “Derek.”
asserted
she → go → Derek
In 401, Ted’s ex-wife Michelle name-dropped a new Derek she worked with; we met Derek at Taste of Athens, and a Derek was referenced at the Burger Barn in Amsterdam.
asserted
Derek → drop → Amsterdam
Shrinking fans also know that Dereks (and Derrick) rule (and don’t die).
asserted
Dereks → shrink → ?
And Brett Goldstein even starred in Ricky Gervais’ Derek.
asserted
Goldstein → star → Derek
We need the official Derek breakdown!
asserted
We → need → breakdown
When Rebecca impersonated Zelda’s assistant and shouted out “Chicago Fire,” she wasn’t talking about the NBC series; she was talking about Chicago Fire FC, which is another meta shoutout because Cristo Fernandez, who plays Dani, trained and went on trial with the team before professionally signing with El Paso Locomotive FC.
asserted
who → impersonate → FC
Other fun little spots include Ted calling the statue in Keeley’s office “Trixiebell,” which appears to be a My Little Pony reference to a rare G2 Earth Pony that has Big Keeley Energy.
asserted
that → include → Energy
Though we only see the edges when he and Keeley are filling out his dating profile, it looks like Ted has the same photo of Arthur Bryant’s as his desktop background that he did back in the original seasons.
asserted
he → see → seasons
And Roy gets hit with a famous Ted Lasso Wizard of Oz reference when Dr. Beaumont tells him, “I can fix your knee, but I can’t fix your heart.”
asserted
I → hit → heart
What other Easter eggs did you spot?
asserted
you → spot → eggs
Season 4, Episode 7’s Winning Needle Drop: “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
We love a callback, and Episode 407 featured another badass, eye-catching Roy Kent Walk Wheel down the hallway to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ “Red Right Hand.”
asserted
Episode → win → Hand
Ted Lasso first pulled out the iconic Peaky Blinders theme song to accompany Roy as he wore the loud tie-dye shirt that Phoebe made him, and this season, it’s his anthem as he wheels himself around on his electric scooter post-knee injury.
asserted
he → pull → injury
