Theory on Nate's plot line:
Season 1 was all about Ted's optimism, his faith in others, his devotion to every relationship in his life, from family to friends to coworkers. In Season 2, Ted hasn't changed, but we're seeing everywhere the dark side in being so devoted to everything. We see problematic relationships everywhere, which can't be fixed by devotion: Jamie's relationship with his dad, Rebecca's mom's relationship with her late husband, possibly Jane and Beard... and with Nate's toxic relationship with everything related to the team. And we learn that Ted's refusal to give up on anyone isn't exactly coming from a healthy place. I can't help thinking Nate's fate will come down to Rebecca's understanding of the importance of ridding yourself what is toxic in your life, whether that's in personal or professional life.
