The Truth

Tohm is sitting in the coaches chair and introduces himself as “Hi I’m Tohm Grossi star of the hit series coach and of course ever waking nightmare for Tom Grossi, the host of Packast” and promises to explain the premise of the series.

He recaps the first several episodes, and again reveals that Tom was playing “coach” because of a faked call by Tohm pretending to be from the Packers. It’s also revealed how much Tom’s madden playing has been disappointing and irritating his wife - to the point of making her leave.

Tom is upset at Tohm and feels misunderstood for his negligence to detect his wife’s growing dissatisfaction. Tom and Tohm bicker and then Tohm reveals that he is not real, merely a creation of Tom’s own mind, the same as Junior. Tom, in utter disbelief, runs into Junior’s room to ensure he’s still real as Tohm claims “I’m not even the worst one in there” - referring to Tom’s mental creations. Junior also mentions that he is not real.

Tom, growing in his instability, trips down a flight of stairs. Tohm continues to agitate Tom. Tom asks Tohm to disappear, which he does. Tom goes looking for Jade but doesn’t see a text from Packers CEO Mark Murphy. When he returns, he sees a message from his wife written on the back of his coaching nameplate “I’ll always be on your side”. Tom picks up the controller, and turns on Madden.
