I'm just thinking, did we ever hear rebecca speak the words that she wants children? Like she never says it in the scene with rupert, she doesn't say it to the psychic, and the doctor finishes her sentence for her. We don't even hear what the phonecall said, although of course in all of the above we know, with Hannah's amazing face acting. How much she wants this is unspoken but so clear. And it's unspoken because she doesn't even dare give her hope for it a voice, not at her age and after what rupert must have said about it through their marriage. It feels like a ridiculous question, because she would have said she'd accepted she won't get it. She's only able to look into it, and face how much she wants it, when she gets a moment of faith in the psychic. Her wordless joy at the end of the appointment is all the more heartbreaking with her wordless devastation at the end. You can see in the latter the sense she feels this is what she should have expected, but we also saw in the former the amount that she was still hoping. All of this like most of this storyline, unspoken but so clear. She doesn't have an emergency contact; does anyone in the show even know she wants this?

#ted lasso #rebecca welton #god i want the rebecca stepmother thing for my tedbecca agenda - sure - but i really really want it for Her #i do wonder if in her surely inevitable breakdown scene she'll say it #potentially to ted? not even necessarily in a shippy way just as in surely they have to have some big scene being honest w what's going on #the downside of this is reading reviews from ppl with no comprehension who as like 'wow since when did rebecca ever want kids??'
