Plot summary
Trent Crimm invites Dr. Sharon to his podcast, Through the Laces, to discuss her book. The book's content is supported by the events of the episode.
Ted, Beard and Alice are aware of problems within the team, requiring them to disband cliques in the locker room. Ted and Beard realize they need either a common goal or a common enemy to unite them. When a squabble breaks out in the locker room, Ted decides to cancel training and enlist all the girls in the newly reinstated quiz night at the Crown & Anchor, with Ted choosing their teams. While it seems that they finally bonded, the team gets into another brawl when Gemma is accused of cheating, landing the team in jail.
Keeley encourages Rebecca to meet with Zelda Southport, a woman who has made a name for herself financing women's football clubs. Keeley is enthralled by Zelda but Rebecca is hesitant, as she believes Zelda will not be a great investment. While discussing this with Roy, Keeley realizes he wants to get back together with her. She states that she is unable to see him commit himself to a relationship given he has not dated a single woman since they broke up, so Roy sets out to date 10 different women to be sure that Roy genuinely wants her. Roy tries to speedrun the dates and ends up hooking up with a bartender until he injures his knee again. At the hospital, Jenni takes him to a friend specialist, Dr. Erin Beaumont, and they end up bonding.
Zelda gets the whole team released using her connections, arranging for their charges to be dropped. Higgins arrives, confirming that their next match at Women's FA Cup will be Chelsea F.C. at home, exciting the team. Keeley takes a picture of the team and Zelda quietly encourages her that it is a prime marketing opportunity. As consequence of their actions, Ted forces the team to run to the pub and clean it up.
