LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The significance of Rebecca's green matchbook in 'Ted Lasso' Season 3, episode 3, may be crucial for the future of the show. Due to Hannah Waddingham's fixation with beating West Ham and Rupert, her character has remained at the center of the narrative of 'Ted Lasso' Season 3. Rebecca visits a psychic and receives a future reading in 'Ted Lasso' Season 3, Episode 3. Rebecca is dubious about the information a psychic may provide, but once the reading gets going, there are several hints given.

The psychic describes a green matchbook, lightning, thunder, and a "shite in nining armor," Rebecca being wet but upside down, and Rebecca will eventually have children and a family. Rebecca storms out of the session after the last prediction, leaving her even more sure that the psychic's predictions were rubbish. But later, when Sam Obisanya brings the green matchbook, everything changes for Rebecca.

'Ted Lasso' Season 3 Episode 2: AFC Richmond STUNS with a high-quality draw against Chelsea

How did the green matchbook reappear in Rebbeca's life?

The AFC Richmond team turns out in force to support the star player at Sam's restaurant's soft opening in the third episode. Sam's head chef gives him a box of gifts to distribute to everyone there as the evening concludes. In the third season of 'Ted Lasso', Rebecca is startled to then receive a green matchbook as a result of the celebration. After the reading, the owner of AFC Richmond was previously seen searching her home for matchbooks, and Sam's presence led to one of Rebecca's psychic's prophecies coming true.

Rebecca was really surprised for this reason. It provides her with the first concrete proof that the psychic's prophecies regarding her destiny might truly manifest. The green matchbook arriving from Rebecca's ex-lover Sam is obviously having a huge impact on Rebecca's attitude, given how much she wants to be a mother and find love after Rupert.

The green matchbook tease from 'Ted Lasso' Season 3 most strongly suggests that Rebecca and Sam's romance will rekindle. Sam insisted that he would still be there for her whenever she was ready, even though she ended their romance in Season 2 just before her father passed away. Rebecca may now consider Sam as her knight in shining armor and the potential father of her children after he gives her the green matchbook. That might encourage Rebecca to try to restart her romance with Sam.

Sam can also be a blatant misdirection for the green matchbook's true significance. Since every individual at the restaurant opening got one of the matchbooks, any person in attendance could have one of them and come to Rebecca's help in a moment of need. Even the enduring notion that Rebecca and Ted will fall in love might be made viable by this. 'Ted Lasso' Season 3 can take its time presenting the truth about the psychic's predictions since there are so many unknowns at this point regarding Rebecca's destiny and the green matchbook.
