We start out this episode with the news the Nate quit his job at West Ham, with people debating whether it was Nate or Rupert at the reason West Ham was #2. Of course the Paps are waiting to get some pictures of him outside his house and he sneaks out in the middle of the night to his parent's house. Where he spends the week just basically depressed in his childhood bedroom. Eventually he breaks out his old violin and has a heart to heart with his Dad, who tells him that he always loved hearing Nate play, and that he always tried to push Nate to encourage his genius, but admits that he was too hard on him. The episode ends with him telling Nate that he didn't care about Nate's success, but just wants his son to be happy. This starts out the Nate Redemption tour, with him sneaking into Richmond's stadium and doing all of his old kit man duties. He leaves a note to apologize to Will for how he acted last season to him.
So of course, Jack pulls the funding for KJPR, and doesn't even bother to tell Keely. Barbara had to tell her after people started moving furniture out of the office and the staff had all been sacked. This sends Keely down to Mae's pub, because apparently it's the only one in London. She isn't responding to texts or anything at this point. She does however go shopping ang gets Barbara a Richmond snow globe to add to her collection.
We finally got to see Roy's sister! She does exist! They are at her house celebrating National Uncle's Day. Phoebe invites Jamie as she says he is Roy's best friend , a point both of them argue with her but lose. I love that Jamie jokes about how fit Roy's sister is and Roy immediately and legitimately threatens him. Loved the whole scene with the shirts, the swear word fines, all of it! Great scene! I love seeing Roy wearing his shirt that his niece made. Everyone's reaction to it was great. Him throwing it away only to go back and get it again was perfect too. Roy could never do anything to upset his niece. Speaking of, we get the return of the flirty teacher again. They have a great conversation, and it s a wonderful scene, and while I wouldn't mind if they ended up together, it finally does what it needs to do in Roy's head to write a letter to Keely.
So this week is international week where the players return to their home countries to play an exhibition match against other countries. This leads to a hilariously competitive Dani just being cruel to Van Damme, even intentionally breaking his nose in the match. Sam isn't chosen though, because guess who is in town, our angry Billionaire from last season. He admits later that he paid the government $20 million to not pick Sam for the team, despite Sam's recent successes in their ten game winning streak. He also has a hilarious scene in Sam's restaurant where he admits that he also booked the restaurant up for that night with some neat impressions. He is still being petty and says that he will open up a Nigerian restaurant 20 meters from Sam's.
So this episode Rebecca has to deal with Rubert again. Rubert wants her to join them in the meeting of all the Football owners with the Billionaire that wants to start up an elite super league that will basically kill off the premiere league and exploit fans for more money. Rupert sincerely has some great character growth moments in this episode. He gives Rebecca an honest opinion on why Nate left, he fired his previous assistant for a less attractive one, and he actually had a heart melting moment when Rebecca talks about Rupert as a poor kid wanting to watch Richmond play. Rebecca's speech really hits home and convinces all the other owners to reject the super league plan. They don't show it, but the angry Billionaire throws another tantrum and throws food over all the owners. Its quite a funny scene to cut back to. Rupert clearly misses Rebecca at the end of this scene and tries to kiss her, but she stops him.
Roy meanwhile tries to stuff his apology card into Keely's house, but gets caught by Keely the same way she caught Ted in Jamie's locker in the first season. This has Roy reading his tiny handwriting of the letter to Keely. It was a great heartfelt apology letter from Roy, in which he reminds her that she is Keely frakking Jones. Its a great scene and ends with Roy walking away with Keely looking at him almost pensively.
So after the meeting, Rebecca shows up to talk to Keely as Keely hasn't been responding to her texts all day. Apparently, the funding that the VC pulled was so insignificant, that Rebecca said she had that much on her in cash. So now Rebecca is funding KJPR. Rebecca tells them all about the meeting, about Rubert trying to kiss her, and Keely says could you imagine taking him back after all he has done? And about that time Roy walks down the stairs to the kitchen wearing Keely's bathrobe.
At this point I lost it and don't know what else happened in the scene. Best episode of the series!
