In a way Pete was the perfect person to talk to Donna in that moment

[@kigenm247]

he didnt deserve to be in the firing line like that…but being the amazing person pete is it just made him love his wife more 🎉

[@Unforgivenrain]

That's exactly what I said! Pete was the perfect person to talk to her in that moment.

[@Perrylump]

Poor Pete, dude is so pure he just can't get his head around the fact that other people are fucked up. Doesn't make sense to him.

[@spooony2714]

Given how screwed up Sugar's family are having someone as pure hearted and nice as Pete around can only be good for her. He might help break the cycle.

[@nikolaos9652]

​@@spooony2714Claire could have been that person for Carmy if the dude could just focus for a bit

[@mysticsaxophone4181]

It's amazing he's survived in the world for so long without being tainted

[@chwistofa]

nah i think he understands its just very empathetic towards it

[@chwistofa]

the way he paraphrased it to Sugar was probably the best way anyone couldve

[@drteeth362]

Jamie Lee Curtis was so impeccable in this show, especially her scene here

[@SubTachyon]

When isn't she impeccable...

[@ISavant]

pete being a pure-ass labrador who just wants people to be happy coming up against donna, who doesn't know how, and will suck all the happiness from people around her, was absolutely heartbreaking.

[@mcgfn]

Donna is really important representation for people with BPD

[@Quixotic1018]

Heartbreaking when Richie says "I love you" since they've been saying that to end fights throughout the whole show.

[@DynamiteProd]

Just filmed with the bear as an extra. I was standing in line ordering a sandwich from the outdoor window. Do with that information what you will.

[@olivia0614]

That's so exciting!! Do you know if it was for a S3 or S4 episode?

[@Keesha_Hardy]

Well, they already established that they'll have a to go window for sandwiches still, so it's not adding much info, other than they probably need that income and those customers still.

[@Keesha_Hardy]

Unless it's for season 4

[@DynamiteProd]

@@olivia0614 I have no idea. They didn’t tell us anything. My scene didn’t have the main cast in it so I assume it’s some montage showing what’s going on with the shop now. The line had about 50 of us in it. And we’re supposed to look really excited about the sandwich. I think I read on a PAs paper that it was day 31 of shooting.

[@thepimp31]

@@DynamiteProd I heard Season 3 was the last.

[@brettcloud8550]

I loooove Richie's confidence "...I can do it." What a phenomenal character arc and writing holy shit.

[@will.amartinnn]

they won 10/13 emmy’s they were nominated for, for SEASON ONE!! the second season will definitely win more with the amount of quality guest appearances and just overall grander scope than last season. they won emmy’s for lead actor, supporting actress, supporting actor, best comedy, best editing, best sound editing, best sound mixing, best writing, best directing, and best casting.

[@marcusjim7336]

crazy how Fak said he “did that” (made carmey & claire get together again) then told Claire he’s locked in the freezer which led her to go & hear his conversation which led to the end. start to finish.

[@Hughmongus88]

The chocolate banana scene is what made the episode for me...a full evolution of a character I never thought I'd cheer for..

[@maplenerd22]

You guys are right. I've been out of the restaurant industry for over 15 years and after watching this show, all the memories and anxiety came flooding back. It never leaves you.

[@lilianecaroline5]

The "I don't need to receive any amusement or enjoyment" gets me every time, so fucking sad

[@kigenm247]

he’s turning into his mom/got a lot more from her than we’ve been showm so far 😢

[@lilianecaroline5]

@@kigenm247 In 'Fishes', Michael seems to have the idea of ​​throwing his fork after seeing Donna throwing a spoon at someone, Natalie still looks to her for approval after all these years (even though her nickname comes from a mistake she made, not from a caring place), and Carmy seems to have inherited her tendency to self-destruct/sabotage. I'm glad she didn't enter the restaurant because I agree with her, she doesn't deserve to see what they built

[@dtgstl3148]

@@lilianecaroline5 'Fishes' is the episode you're thinking of... 'Forks' is Richie's redemption episode right after 'Fishes'.

[@lilianecaroline5]

@@dtgstl3148 thank you, you're right! Just edited the comment

[@Kverkele]

Carmy self destructing, Richie to the rescue and Sydney holding the fort. What an roller coaster ride of an episode. -🪛

[@dnllrnt]

"I'm so very proud of them and I love them so much and I don't know how to show it..." I'm sure all parents have felt that at some point. Lord knows I do everyday 😔

[@brettcloud8550]

I'm not even a parent or from a troubled home but god damnit that shit broke me. Just so sad 😢

[@powertrip25]

all the Red lights and Stop signs when Donna walks away from her children is...just...CINEMA

[@t0dd000]

Yes! This! I wondered if it was intentional. And then she turned right on red.

[@317cmrogers]

Idk how I missed Faks face in the flowers but now I'm crying laughing😂🤣

[@catika505]

Pete is such a good guy 😭 its so funny how they all cant stand him. Also can we take a moment to appreciate what a fucking journey Richie has been on this season. What a character, what amazing writing.

[@Quzga]

"Be nice, pour water, pour wine, read minds" 👏

[@liamross340]

As incredibly fun as it is to dunk on Pete, he's the perfect guy for Sugar. He loves her so much and is so kind and just like a great guy. The way he handles the stuff with her mother is just like, god he's so loving.

[@margaritakmp]

truly as someone who has a similar relationship with my mother, pete is my dream man - just uncomplicated, unconditional love

[@rimreckable]

Pete was a real one

[@JaySpotTx]

My fear is that Syd isnt getting sick from stress, but from the same sickness her mom had. A few epis back at her place, I swear her medicine cabinet had some serious stuff in it. Also, worried about Marcus, he is gonna be crushed. Richie is so clutch, Chef Jess would be so proud (and I think she liked Richie anyways). Finally, Pete is the best. So is Fak.

[@jackgreenway4679]

Season 3 of the Bear will be released this June so I hope you react to it when it comes out.

[@dtgstl3148]

Yep... and while it hasn't been confirmed officially that the whole season will release all in one drop, the head of Hulu was under the impression that the head of FX Networks was inclined to keep doing it that way (both Hulu and FX are owned by the same company, Disney).

[@JoshuaDay0550]

are you serious? like in a fucking month?

[@SharkWayneGaming]

Well... Now we know where "The Crack" is... and it was Carmy. He definitely cracked under the pressure and this was just a dress rehearsal. It all worked out because Carmy was taken out by the Walk-in. He probably needs to not be around in order for things to be good. He's done his part in getting The Bear open. Maybe he just need his time away from the Biz. That's what I did and felt alot better I did it. :)

[@arinleoczko1250]

Eh, the crack was definitely in Josh.

[@rabbitfishtv]

“Which again is insane because they’re ACTING!” Thanks so much for this whole 2 season reaction. I not only got to enjoy the show again, but you helped me see things that I missed.

[@cliveklg7739]

Love the Pete and Donna scene so much. That was so good.

[@alexbrave9634]

Richie was the MVP!!!! I was so proud of him!!! I hope Carmy apologizes to him at some point cause he said some really nasty things to him. Also, Sydney telling Richie to drive *chief's kiss* I live for scenes like that!!! I hope these 2 share more screen time in season 3.

[@brettcloud8550]

"Richie...drive." Gets me so pumped!

[@sherrijean03]

Richie’s character arch is definitely the best of the show ❤️

[@belowpressure]

Did I just read it'll be replaced by Peaky Blinders?? Let's go, my second favorite show only behind Succession. So excited.

[@ozarkscarguy540]

Anyone else feel like Donna was saying goodbye?

[@brettcloud8550]

I think she'll be back now that she knows she's going to be a grandmother. Grandkids have a way of turning a parent's life around.

[@ozarkscarguy540]

@brettcloud8550 as she walked away every single light was red and don't walk sign was on too. Like stop don't follow, she won't be back.

@@mcgfn I thought that was Marcus' phone

[@kevingreenfield4815]

It's coming back soon in June!

[@PaulOdontknow]

It's basically impossible to be trapped in a walk in because of the latch. The handles have a simple push rod inside that will unlatch it no matter the condition of the exterior handle. The way they're made they require the unlatching mechanism in order to latch..A dumb trope of movies and TV. The handles are also part of regular health dept inspection.

[@mcgfn]

Yeah lol I have never stepped foot in a walk in that didnt have this extremely simple safety measure

[@ISavant]

I mean google "trapped in walk-in" and you'll find a number of stories of people dying after being trapped in. get this. walk-ins with broken doors.

[@Oneryeone]

I mean, people die in walk-in coolers every year. Considering the state of The Beef, it's not really surprising that the walk-in was old and not functioning properly. Yeah, it's not likely to happen, but to say it's basically impossible is a little bit of an overstatement.

[@ISavant]

@@Oneryeone it's not an overstatement, it's just literally wrong.

[@PaulOdontknow]

@@Oneryeone People do not die in walk ins every year. There was a report that attributed an avg of 60 deaths a year to walk in freezers but this was debunked as misrepresenting the data. The statistic included all temp related deaths for all food service industries. 59 of the 60 avg were heat related. The avg of 1 cold related death included industrial freezers like you would find in Dist. Centers, Airports, Convention Centers, large hotels, etc, that have motorized overhead doors and aren't considered walk ins, and they rely on an electronic emergency exit button not a mechanical latch. There have only been a few deaths in walk ins the last decade and they were attributed to other factors than the latch, like the door becoming blocked from the exterior side. A death at an Arbys was because the employees had jambed a screwdriver in the latch after the handle broke and this prevented the interior release from working.

[@bozuteru2160]

Luckily you won't have to wait that long, Season 3 is scheduled to come out sometime this summer!

[@craig2196]

I hate how this show just beats Carmy into the ground, he has to deal with so much shit and then the show just spits in his face making him the problem when he's realistically the victim. Half of the time his own sister hates him, for no reason. A simple miscommunication makes Richie attack him and he ruined the only positive thing in his life because he thought he was talking to Tina. Like wtf. No wonder he thinks he should die, the show clearly wants him to off himself.

[@t0dd000]

I don't think you read the show the way they intend. Carmy is a victim constantly trying to claw his way out of a psychological hike.

[@pixelsin96]

Pete is such a great person. I don't get why people don't like him

[@CanOfChunky]

Please tell me jamie lee curtis won some kind of award for this show

[@chance757]

they get emmy’s for season 2 this year

[@dtgstl3148]

She will almost certainly win the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series this fall, but we won't actually see her get the award during the main ceremony, because that category is presented during the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which take place a week before the main ceremony. All the Emmys they just won back in January were for the first season. I'm guessing Ayo Edebiri (Sydney) will be elevated to the Lead Actress category for S2 awards consideration (she won for Supporting Actress for S1).

[@dawkosvk]

[@mattseaton3521]

Love this show but the Clare character was a misstep IMO. She's been described as a 'pixy dream girl', and as 'pure male fantasy', and I have to agree. All the other characters felt so real, but she really didn't at all to me.

[@JoshBlanksby]

I actually think that was sort of the point. She's very intentionally designed to be that to juxtapose basically every other person Carmy is involved with. However, I get that she didn't work for everyone. Just my two cents.

[@beyondtoday692]

@@JoshBlanksby It feels intentional, but like she's *intended* to be a one-dimensional character. I'm not sure we're actually supposed to be rooting for Carmy and Claire in the end. It doesn't really feel like it most of the time. They just didn't give us enough to latch onto.

[@JoshBlanksby]

@@beyondtoday692 That's definitely subjective, but I do see where you're coming from. I found myself rooting for them more for Carmy's happiness. She was also just a very genuine and supportive person, which is always nice. When Carmy was with Clare, we got some of the only moments in the entire show where he is happy and living a "normal" life. That's something I feel he deserves, but he can't let himself have it.

[@iwillcry]

her voice message made me cringe, maybe bc there's nothing more to her character except being carmy's love interest, she doesn't talk about anything else. she's just there to be his cheerleader.

[@nikolaos9652]

It doesn't help that her and Carmy have zero chemistry. Like I would sooner see Richie and Sidney as a couple than Carmy and Claire.

[@Chrisg841]

Karmy = BPD??
