Sydney calls in sick from work one day and Carmy cooks her Italian penicillin and sheepishly brings it over and intends to leave it on her doorstep and quickly walk away but then her dad answers the door and invites him in and Carmy has to awkwardly wait in the kitchen for Syd to come in and take the food from him while her dad watches with a knowing smile bc he recognizes the awkward anxiousness in Carmy for what it is, and recognizes Syd’s earnest smile for what it is, and as Carmy is leaving he tells him to come over again and Carmy mutters, “Yes, sir” before walking away, doubly flustered because he’s not used to fatherly affection. Sydney smiles and mutters “shut up” to her dad when Carmy leaves. Send tweet.

seeing sydney call carmy “bear” would solve all of my problems and cure all of my mental illness.

hiiii here’s a little something i’m working on:

The first time —

He’s got her gently laid down on her back in his bed, and he’s fully on top of her, his body warm and comfortably heavy against hers as he kisses a loopy trail into her throat, licking, biting sweetly at her collarbones.

“Can I eat you out?” Carmy croaks, so casually, his hand tender along the curve of her waist as he paws at the skin beneath her t-shirt.

And Sydney’s a little lost, dizzied by the frenetic sparky tingle in her stomach as he lightly sucks on the sharp edge of her jaw. “Huh?” she hums, cloudy, foggy.

Carmy has the audacity to grin, leaning in to kiss her.

His lips are slightly chapped, a little rough against hers, but it’s a train of thought that quickly passes as he slides their tongues together, lapping into her mouth.

One more time, between kisses, he asks, “Can I eat you out? I really wanna go down on you,”

Sydney feels herself suddenly tense up — unlike the excited-arousal that’s been keeping her body wound up tight, this tenseness is more rigid than pliant. “What?” she asks. “You want to?”

Carmy stops, pulls away to look at her, eyes searching her face. “Yeah, I would love to. Is that — is that okay?”

“Uhhh,”

“Unless you don’t want me to?”

Her hand launches up to grip at his shoulder, fingers sinking into the skin there, “No! I mean — no. It’s not. It’s not like that,”

“Syd, it’s okay if you’re not into it.” he tells her, smiles and kisses her cheek in such a way that makes her want to crawl into him and live inside his ribcage forever. “Seriously, we can just keep making out. I’m having so much fun,”

God — he’s going to kill her.

“No, Carm, it’s not that. It’s just — I’ve never done that before?” she says, tries to be very nonchalant about it even though the tips of her ears are searing-hot and she’s a little, just a little embarrassed.

There’s a gap of silence that follows.

He looks at her, visibly baffled, eyebrows inched up his forehead. “Shit, actually?”

Immediately, Sydney brings her hands up to cover her face, groaning softly into her palms. “Yeah. Please don’t be a dick about it,”

“Fuck, Syd, I’d never be a dick about that.”

So what comes next?

In case you have not heard. Season 3 might be the last. This was the same source that first announced that the bear will have additional episodes and they would begin filming in February so I would say they are pretty reliable. It was also Chris' intention to just do 3 seasons, and based on the major themes I do think it makes sense.

The timeline to pay back Jimmy was 18 months. We're already 3 months in. I doubt Season 3 will cover an entire year and 3 months. So why end it at Season 3 when there is still so much that could happen and they could explore?

The Bear will shut down.

It's not unheard of for Michelin star restaurants to shut down. I could see them giving it their all and even getting a star or two, but in the end it still not being enough. Operating costs is extremely high. Gentrification was touched lightly in season 1 with the landscape of the neighborhood changing. Many Michelin restaurants are part of restaurant groups and have large financially backing plus generate income through other products like books or packaged goods.

The show has been setting up everyone to be ready to be on their own if or when the time comes.

Marcus becoming a legit pastry chef.

Tina leveling up in the kitchen as a sous.

Richie becoming a high end host and expediter.

Natalie becoming a manager and also a mom.

They have all gained skills that could get them a job anywhere else. Carmy and Sydney are the ones still stuck.

Sydney is terrified of having to start over once again, because she's scared of time running out for her. She's not even 30, most people don't get to have their own restaurants until much later in life. She wants what Carmy got and she wants to share it with him.

Carmy doesn't know what he's doing on his own. Mikey was his motivation but now that he's accepted he's gone, the only thing that seems to get him motivated is his fear of disappointing Sydney. He started cooking out of spite and has seemingly ignored all his other interests like fashion and drawing.

They need want each other. I think it will end with knowing that they will have each other even if it's not about the restaurant anymore, because really this show was never really about the restaurant but the people in it.

Syd will stop stressing about time, Carmy will find his own purpose. And maybe 10 years down the line they'll give it another try and build something completely new and he'll actually be there for her in the process. I think it will be bittersweet, but still hopeful.

Honestly this is the only way that I can see it having a concrete ending, without leaving a ton of questions in the air, while still having a optimistic door open for the future. In the end the restaurant might have not succeeded financially, but it brought everyone together and made them better.

s3 is looking to be roughhhhh but i’m so excited

[puppietooth]

🚩🚩🚩 they menu plan at inappropriate times 🚩🚩🚩

[puppietooth]

donna saying she doesn’t deserve to be at the restaurant and see this precious thing that her kids have created because she hurts everything she touches

vs

carmy in the lock in telling himself he doesn’t deserve to provide/experience joy and amusement because he’s a psycho

and then — richie offhandedly tells carmy that he’s just like donna, and deep down, even on the surface — it’s a little true
