He has an affair with Emmett and afterwards leaves his wife to be with him, whilst they do not keep collectively. Ted's affair with a handsome crystal meth addict, Blake Wyzecki, sets the sample for Ted's later tragic but finally redeeming encounters with drug habit. In Season 4, he is sober and is Ted's counselor at a rehab clinic. Another major character, Ben (Robert Gant), was included in the second time.
