Sydney , left, and Carmy are shown in Season 3 of FX's"The Bear."In one of the most discussed scenes near the end ofchefs Carmy and Sydney take a moment to fix an uneven table together, a brief reprieve from the intense stress of preparing to launch their new restaurant. As they do so, Sydney confides in Carmy about how she’s terrified of causing the restaurant to implode upon arrival.“I couldn’t do it without you,” he says. “I wouldn’t even want to do it without you.
, many people did not interpret the scene this way at all. Instead, they considered it further evidence of will-they-won’t-they romantic tension between the two. This feverish “debate” among “The Bear” fans has annoyed me from the start, and distracts from the show’s many, many strengths that are actually there on screen, not just projection or speculation.
In fact, the weakest part of the series’ otherwise stellar second season was the one overtly romantic plotline: Carmy reconnecting with his childhood friend Claire and beginning an intimate relationship with her. It’s doomed from the start because Carmy, consumed by the stress of the new restaurant and the trauma of his past, is absolutely not in an emotional space to be dating — something we did not need an entire season-long storyline to learn.
Not every show needs to have a will-they-won’t-they story, or a romantic plotline in which work presents an obstacle. “The Bear” is a series primarily about a workplace and people’s relationships to their jobs and their colleagues. It’s about the care and precision of serving people good food, and the care and precision of trying to build a better and healthier work culture in restaurants.
