![]() She can be, um, a consultant for affiliate management and client relationships. That sets off a light bulb: Keeley could hire Shandy. ![]() Shandy suggests a production trick that will allow them to avoid the potentially budget-busting addition of a bunch of extras. But there might be more to the reunion than nostalgia. Their catch-up session reveals that Keeley’s other old friends have mostly married footballers and, what’s more, Shandy admires Keeley because “she made it out” all by herself. Just shoes.”) Then, at the ad shoot itself, she reconnects with Shandy Fine (Ambreen Razia), an old friend from her modeling days. For starters, Isaac wants a shoe deal - seemingly any shoe deal. “This is as loose as they get,” Barbara (or Babs, if you’re Keeley) warns. Barbara’s not onboard, and neither are the glum office workers outside. Keeley wants the job to be fun! She wants her co-workers to bond and like each other! She wants picnics in the conference room! But when she suggests that last one, Barbara tells Keeley she can’t make it, then doesn’t even try to hide her deception when Keeley points out that she didn’t say when it was. It’s not the first time they’ve had this conversation, but Barbara’s urgency suggests that she really wants Keeley to hear her. As Keeley heads into the company’s first big commercial shoot, she gets a lecture from Barbara about being sensible and keeping costs low. Over at KJPR, Keeley tries to keep the mood upbeat and fun but doesn’t get a lot of help from the staff - especially Barbara. Roy and the Greyhounds aren’t the only ones dealing with skepticism, however. It would be a lot to deal with even if he didn’t have to worry about coaching Richmond as the club makes a return to the Premier League amid a lot of skepticism about whether it even belonged there. (It’s so hurtful that Roy still carries the clipping in his wallet.) And a return to Chelsea that should mostly remind him of how beloved he was when he played for the team instead provides a reminder of the passing of time. Trent’s presence provides a daily reminder of a long-festering hurt. He’s not merely wary of Trent Crimm writing a book about Richmond. He’s dealing with it going public and the ensuing outpouring of pity and concern. He’s not just still recovering from his breakup with Keeley. (Wrong sport, sure, but this episode puts a lot of emphasis on how rich with metaphorical value the sports world is, so let’s go with it.) Roy might wear a default expression of implacability (with the occasional eruption of a threatening sneer), but there’s a lot going on beneath the surface, and Roy’s finding it increasingly hard to hide his feelings as life keeps throwing him one curveball after another. Roy Kent is not an expressive man, but that doesn’t mean he’s not an emotional man.
