Ted Lasso Season 2 Episode 12 Recap-“Inverting the Pyramid of Success.”
Ted Lasso Season 2 Episode 12 has been titled “Inverting the Pyramid of Success.” Ted Lasso Season 2 Episode 12 begins with the media hype over The Independent reporter Trent Crimm’s article.

Sharon sends a message saying she will always be there for him whenever he wants to talk to her. Even Michelle Lasso sends a message supporting Ted. When Ted leaves for work, it seems that everybody is reading this very news out there.
Beard pretends ignorance about all this, and all the while, he has the newspaper stashed in his back pocket. Beard suspects the role of Nate behind this mess.
Meanwhile, Rebecca receives a bouquet from Edwin Akufo, offering his sympathy in advance for Sam leaving her team. He assures her that Sam would be looked after royally. Sam finds a parcel from Edwin in his locker, containing a jersey (with the number 10) of Edwin’s future dream team, a number made legendary ever since Maradona graced this number on his back.
