From the jump, Carmy is met with hostility from the Beef\u2019s loyal staff, including Richie, Mikey\u2019s best friend, who has been running the restaurant since his death. In an attempt to steer the restaurant toward a more fine-dining direction, Carmy hires Sydney, an ambitious recent graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, as his sous chef.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Unfortunately, the tension only mounts before getting remotely better: Carmy continues butting heads with Richie and the rest of the Beef\u2019s staff; Sydney is relentlessly hazed by employees like Tina (Col\u00f3n-Zayas) and is frustrated by Carmy\u2019s lack of communication; Carmy finds out that Richie has been selling cocaine out of the restaurant; Richie and Natalie resent Carmy for leaving Chicago as Mikey\u2019s mental health worsened; and the IRS is closing in on the Beef for unpaid taxes. The Berzattos\u2019 loan shark uncle, Jimmy Cicero (Oliver Platt), also reveals that Mikey borrowed $300,000 from him to keep the Beef running \u2014 and now Cicero is trying to cash in on that failed investment.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richard 'Richie' Jerimovich, Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu in season 1 of The Bear.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/muN.BIi3qh6vtJyRVw_FZA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net\/images\/user-uploaded\/the-bear-s1-2_8991.jpg\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie and Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu in Season 1 of <em>The Bear.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span>(FX)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the same time, Carmy, who\u2019s secretly been attending AI-Anon meetings to grieve Mikey\u2019s death and better understand his battle with addiction, is spiraling out of control.

His colleagues are younger than he is, and he struggles to get through the rigorous, monotonous workday without feeling as if he\u2019s been sent there to do busywork.

Sydney\u2019s internal battle is also explored, as she grapples with whether to leave the Bear and accept an offer to be the head chef at a new restaurant that Adam (Adam Shapiro), a rival fine-dining chef, is opening.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richard \u201cRichie\u201d Jerimovich, Will Poulter as Luca, Sarah Ramos as Jessica,  Rene Gube as Rene, Andrew Lopez as Garrett in season 3 of The Bear.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/i0xlEymZ52TSoXcPVNAEKQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net\/images\/user-uploaded\/the-bear-s3-1_5690.jpg\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Edebiri, Moss-Bachrach, Will Poulter, Ramos, Rene Gube and Lopez.<\/p>\n<p><span>(FX)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There are, however, a few bright spots: Natalie gives birth to her baby girl with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o8862fo9EWM\" data-i13n=\"cpos:8;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:her estranged mother, Donna, by her side;cpos:8;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;her estranged mother, Donna, by her side&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">her estranged mother, Donna, by her side<\/a>, and we get an entire episode <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2wK4GVfSqeQ\" data-i13n=\"cpos:9;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:devoted to Tina\u2019s backstory;cpos:9;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;9&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;devoted to Tina\u2019s backstory&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">devoted to Tina\u2019s backstory<\/a> and her sweet, humble life with her husband and son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Uncomfortable realizations \u2014 and confrontations \u2014 are a clear theme of this season.

Following last season\u2019s cliffhanger, we learn that the Chicago Tribune gave the Bear a mixed review, which doesn\u2019t exactly bode well for the fate of the restaurant. Cicero poses an ultimatum: installing a literal clock in the Bear&#8217;s kitchen that counts down from 1,440 hours (roughly 60 days). The agreement is as follows: If the Bear isn&#8217;t profitable by the time the clock hits zero, Cicero is shutting down the restaurant. Carmy, Sydney, Richie, Natalie and the rest of the crew are aware of the stakes, and so they get to work on turning things around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Carmy continues trying to make amends for his behavior. He <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=osufWzmEYds\" data-i13n=\"cpos:12;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:apologizes to Claire;cpos:12;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;12&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;apologizes to Claire&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">apologizes to Claire<\/a> for how he treated her and even admits to being in love with her.

We also see a different side of Sydney early in the season as she seeks advice from her niece, TJ (Arion King), while getting her braids done \u2014 and she ultimately decides to stay at the Bear. (Cue Sydney\u2019s charming sleepover metaphor.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Elsewhere, Marcus gets some much-deserved flowers and is recognized as an up-and-coming chef and unsung hero. Ebra ends up saving the day \u2014 and the profitability of the Bear \u2014 with the success of his original Beef takeout window. A bright spot of the season is Tiff and Frank\u2019s wedding, which sees most of <em>The Bear <\/em>cast enjoying themselves in a family setting. It&#8217;s good vibes all around as we witness character growth from fan favorites like Richie, who sets aside his differences with Frank and puts Eva\u2019s needs first. The gang rallies together to make Eva, who has hidden under the table because she\u2019s afraid to do her daddy-daughter dance with her new stepdad, feel better.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Jeremy Allen White as Carmen \u201cCarmy\u201d Berzatto, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richard \u201cRichie\u201d Jerimovich in season 4 of The Bear.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Y5SZtgm1u8EbDmmetQFPeA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net\/images\/user-uploaded\/the-bear-s4-1_1545.jpg\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>White and Moss-Bachrach.<\/p>\n<p><span>(FX)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Of course, the drama ramps back up in the season finale, when Carmy casually drops a bombshell: He is leaving the Bear and hanging up his chef whites for good. Sydney is the first to learn of this, and she\u2019s not happy about it. The two get into it in the alley behind the restaurant, where Sydney <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eRXOZNcumLY\" data-i13n=\"cpos:14;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:calls Carmy out for choosing to abandon the restaurant;cpos:14;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;14&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;calls Carmy out for choosing to abandon the restaurant&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">calls Carmy out for choosing to abandon the restaurant<\/a> and leave its debt-riddled fate in her and Natalie\u2019s hands. The exchange gets even more heated when Richie enters the conversation, and is equally \u2014 if not <em>more <\/em>\u2014 upset by the news. Theirs is a long-overdue, heated argument that eventually gives way to vulnerable admissions \u2014 like Carmy\u2019s confession that he did actually show up to Mikey\u2019s funeral but couldn\u2019t bring himself to go inside and that he was jealous of how close Mikey and Richie were. Richie also admits that while he\u2019s often referred to as \u201ccousin\u201d by the Berzatto family, he\u2019s never fully felt as though he belonged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Eventually, Carmy tells Richie that he\u2019s leaving the restaurant because he doesn\u2019t know who he is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PVLyJjCRNJY\" data-i13n=\"cpos:15;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:\u201coutside of the kitchen,\u201d;cpos:15;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;15&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;\u201coutside of the kitchen,\u201d&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">\u201coutside of the kitchen,\u201d<\/a> which Richie is receptive toward.
