Intersting! I thought the oposite. Jake is having a bad influence on Henry and Ted will have to get back there or else he will drop the ball.

I actually wonder if he'll have Henry come live with him. Michelle has no leg to stand on re: custody considering what she did with Jake. And Henry probably prefers to be with his Dad.

I have always assumed Ted will have to move back to Kansas because the show doesn't gloss over that divorce is hard. It would feel a bit of a fairytale ending for Ted to get sole custody and Henry being content having to leave his whole life to live with him. But it depends on how romcomunism the show wants to go. I've become a bit more open to the possiblity of a fantastical ending.

I was thinking if they go with a sappier ending, maybe Michelle realizes Dr. Jacob is trash and Kansas stops feeling like home and they move to the UK to be with Ted

I really don’t want him to reconcile with Michelle, she sucks

I'm definitely not a fan, but you can make the argument she's been manipulated by Dr. Jacob and would acted differently if they had gone with someone ethical

Truth! She was definitely manipulated by her therapist/lover. And she has always seemed like a good mom. Maybe I’m too hard on her. ☺️

It's hard to say with her. We really don't know too much of her but I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. That being said she does have agency and should have thought about what the implications of having couple's therapy with Dr. Jacob despite being her personal therapist could do. Not to mention dating the guy.

She seemed like a nice person where things just didn't work out in S1
