'Ted Lasso' just aired its emotional season four finale. Most storylines dealt with characters seeking a brighter future, but one focused on past wounds. The storyline in question facilitates when Henry asks Ted about his grandpa's death. The query has been on his mind since Mae's death. Henry's grandmother previously informed him that Ted's father died due to falling down the stairs, but he isn't sure. Henry is correct in his doubts, as his grandpa actually died by suicide. The question shocks Ted, as he did not expect to have this conversation with Henry. Ted decides to back his mother's lie and assures Henry that nothing of that sort will happen to him. "Yes. But hey, don't worry. I'm good on stairs. You ain't gonna lose me any time soon, I promise," he said.
