![]() ![]() She attempts to smooth it over by saying "it happens to the best of us sometimes," even though I would put money on the fact that it has never happened to Keeley or to a lot of other people. Nate responds by grabbing her and kissing her and then apologizing. She says she does she learned it from Rebecca, and it's been inspiring. But as she's putting a tie on him, he starts asking her the questions he asked Roy and Beard earlier about whether she's ever had the urge to be in charge, be the boss. While they're talking about how she gets hit on by parents, she asks him (maybe 70% idly, 30% curiously) whether he's married, and Roy says no, with no mention of Keeley.įor her part, Keeley has fun trying on clothes with Nate. But the teacher is getting ready for a fundraiser, so Roy winds up hanging around and chatting with her. Meanwhile, Roy goes to Phoebe's school and learns that he missed her her mother picked her up. Keeley runs into Nate, who wants her help buying a fancy suit (he doesn't say what it's for), and she says they'll go shopping together, since she needs something for the photo shoot. Keeley is super excited about the fact that she's going to be in Vanity Fair as a powerful woman who's "on the rise." What's more, they want to come to her place and take some pictures of her and Roy together (including his eyebrows, which apparently Vanity Fair has issues with, although for the record, I do not). She confesses that she can't give him any kind of an answer about their relationship, but she knows she can't ask him not to leave, but she hopes he won't leave. When Sam gets home, he finds Rebecca sitting on his doorstep. Sam inspired the world with his protest, Edwin says, and he's just the right person to join the effort. It turns out Edwin is buying Raja Casablanca in Morocco (a real team!), which he hopes to fill with players who are from Africa but are playing around the world. Sam finds this argument compelling, clearly, and he's intrigued when Edwin says he's essentially an ethical billionaire who's breaking up the empire he inherited so that he can "make better things, and hopefully make things better." Wooed with West African food in what turns out to be a pop-up restaurant Edwin set up, Sam is clearly tempted by the offer Edwin is making, even though his initial response is that he's not likely to leave Richmond. Meanwhile, Edwin takes Sam to a museum to show him a piece of art by Kelechi Nwaneri (a Nigerian mixed-media artist) that Edwin has just bought so that he can donate it to a museum in Ghana. His stuff is really fascinating and beautiful, and he was obviously a very intentional and thoughtful choice for this scene.Īnd Al-Jazeera English has a documentary online about Casablanca Raja fans that has a lot to say about the team's role in their lives. You can read more about Kelechi Nwaneri in this interview in Art & Object. Rebecca, of course, sputters and stumbles, because she doesn't want to sell her star player, but on the other hand, it would be a lot of money, but on the other- other hand, she also is thinking maybe she wants to make out with him some more. He's working on behalf of a team that he won't name for her, but that he tells her is located in Africa, and perhaps Sam would like to come home and play there, closer to home. Akufo doesn't want to buy the team he wants to buy Sam's contract. When Akufo arrives (via a helicopter landing on the pitch), Rebecca quickly realizes that she has a problem. He's still a little blue because he and Rebecca are, you might say, on a break. ![]() In fact, Sam has helped get Richmond to a point where, if they win their final game of the season, they'll be promoted back to the Premier League. Sam is killing it on the pitch for Richmond, and he's now so hot of a property that he's attracted the attention of a Ghanaian billionaire named Edwin Akufo, played by Sam Richardson (very, very different here from how you might remember him from, say, Veep, although he's a versatile guy). Keeley and Roy are out of sync, and Sam gets an intriguing offer that Rebecca wants him to refuse. Ted gets bad news, then more bad news, then the hardest news of all.
