Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Bear season 2 introduces Claire , a childhood friend of the Berzatto family, but she repeats the biggest problem with the show's supporting characters. The hit FX series follows Carmy , a well-respected chef who has worked in some of the world's best restaurants, as he attempts to turn his deceased brother's Chicago Italian beef sandwich shop into a fine-dining experience.
One of the key characters introduced in season 2, however, is Claire, a childhood friend of the Barzatto's whom Carmy used to have a crush on. When they meet in a grocery store, he forgets Claire's name, or at least pretends to. Following that, Carmy gives her a fake number, which also speaks to his self-destructive nature. However, after persistence, Claire becomes a part of Carmy's life, and they begin a serious relationship, something that Carmy certainly needs.
Just like those characters, Claire doesn't have much personality other than simply being calmer than Carmy. The Bear season 2's finale interestingly flips the dynamic on its head, as Carmy, while frustrated and locked in The Bear's kitchen freezer, says a number of insulting things about Claire that he doesn't mean. Claire overhears, then says goodbye to Carmy and leaves the kitchen before the credits roll.
