How Many of Rebecca's Psychic Predictions Came True in Ted Lasso Season 3?

The finale of Ted Lasso, which aired just a few weeks ago, is believed to mark the definitive end of the beloved show. Striving to leave no narrative threads loose, the twelfth episode of season three packed numerous transformative moments for its characters. Notably, Rebecca runs into the enigmatic Dutchman she had previously met in Amsterdam, along with his young daughter.

This unexpected encounter made many fans anticipate a new familial future for Welton.

In episode three, Rebecca succumbs to her mother's pressure and consults a psychic named Tish. Tish presents Welton with five cryptic predictions that provoke strong resentment in our esteemed lady boss, who promptly storms out of the room. Yet, in a surprising twist, all the contentious prophecies seem to come true by the show's end.

The Green Matchbook

Tish foretells that Rebecca will cherish a green matchbook, which would hold significant meaning for her. As improbable as it sounds, this comes to pass when Rebecca attends the opening party for Sam Obisanya's restaurant. There, Welton receives a green matchbook, a memento that symbolises her shared past with Sam.

'Sh*te in Nining Armor'

This seemingly nonsensical prophecy consists of just these words. Rebecca later hears them verbatim in season three when she encounters her ex and his new fiancée, who blurts out the jumbled phrase.

The Thunder and Lightning

This prediction, while largely metaphorical, comes true in a significant way. In season two, Roy Kent tells Rebecca that she deserves a partner who makes her feel like she's been struck by lightning. After her visit with Tish, Rebecca does fall for a captivating Dutchman, who indeed sparks electrifying feelings in her.

'Upside Down and Drenched'

In stark contrast, this prophecy comes to pass quite literally when Rebecca takes an unplanned plunge off a bridge in Amsterdam, landing headfirst. She is rescued by the Dutchman Matthijs, which ignites a romantic spark between them.

Motherhood

Despite her doctor's confirmation that she cannot bear children, Tish predicts that Rebecca will become a mother. This prediction stings Welton deeply, leading her to accuse the psychic of being a fraud. Nevertheless, the finale of season three gracefully segues into a potential motherhood storyline for Rebecca, leaving her narrative tantalisingly open-ended.
