When Ted gets a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity to be a prestigious research fellowship in The Galapagos Islands he's willing to give it up to be with Alexis but she realizes its time for her to make some sacrifices for him.

This time he’s been adamant against selling himself to get more customers, but he ends up doing just that — unintentionally.
Both of these characters deserve to find each other once again, especially considering how much they’ve each grown. However, if there is one good thing to come from that version of him, it’s his dinner party with Mutt, Twyla, David, Stevie, and Alexis. More often than not, dad jokes deserve to be met with a dramatic eye roll, but Ted somehow manages to make it endearing and allows you to fall in love with his character even more. However, one of the sweetest and funniest is often overlooked in favor of his partner or her more outlandish family members.
RIP to all the free subs that could've been. He doesn’t think about the fact that a camera on the bunnies in his office could also pick up his movements around the office.

Ted in Season 1 is definitely a little less seasoned and matured as Season 5 Ted, but it’s his tenderness that endears us to him.

They compliment each other in all of the best ways which is all anyone could ask for in someone they love.
It’s an awkward situation that easily could’ve turned into a disaster for both David and Heather’s business prospects. What he isn’t expecting is for Alexis to invite Ted over for a little middle of the day rendezvous in the Rose Apothecary bathroom. I loved this!!! Ted tells David he's broken up with Heather, and David encourages him to give Alexis another chance because she has changed. Where would we be if we’d never heard Ted shrilly say “Ew.

He could’ve told Alexis to buy lice shampoo and then sent her on her way. Even though his presence in Season 6 is a little up in the air considering he traveled to the Galapagos Islands at the end of Season 5, Ted Mullens can never let Galapa-go of our hearts! However, let’s look at it from Ted’s perspective.
