MOST STRESSFUL EPISODE YET... The Bear - 2x6 - Fishes

[@chuckleshelicopterwigwamjo6305]

We actually know what it is that Richie "messed up"- it was the argument he and Jimmy had in season one at the kids birthday party, where Jimmy had put Richie in charge of somebody's apartment or house, and she had tried calling repeatedly about a plumbing issue before apparently falling down the stairs. It had turned out that she was calling Mikey when she thought she was calling Richie, which got Richie fired and screwed up his relationship with Jimmy until the misunderstanding was cleared up.

[@MarioPrimePlays]

And we can also assume it’s what ruined Richie’s marriage. Ugh breaks my heart for him. But y’know my heart breaks for all of them lol.

[@rishabhpb]

This is true, but it also may not have been the only incident that led to Richie's relationships breaking down. We've seen time and again that Jimmy gives his "nephews" a lot of leeway. Richie also lied to his wife about something he didn't have in the bag yet, it can't have been the only time.

[@nikolaast]

@@rishabhpb We also know when Richie makes that call from the holding cell of the police station that Some incident happened with her father.

[@d3_1b]

Dani you were correct. Richie's wife (Gillian Jacobs) is from "Community". She is also the voice of Atom Eve in "Invincible".

[@Okkotsu86275]

You did the science

[@alastorcorvus]

She's also married in real life with Mr Storer, the show's creator.

Pete is Sugar's antidote against all the family toxicity she grew up with. Just like the next episode is our antidote after experiencing this 😅

[@TheReactPack]

Pete must be protected at all costs 🤍 -Sam

[@TopGunZero]

@@TheReactPack I didn't like Pete at first. I got too sucked into the Berzattos and their tempo. Upon reflection I realized that Pete is the normal one and that's actually why they don't like him. He's kind of what they all wish they were.

[@AL-fl4jk]

Don’t forget, Sugar isn’t a nice nickname either. It’s hinted bc she screwed up a recipe using sugar instead of salt or vice versa, so it’s kind of an insult

[@Quzga]

@@AL-fl4jk Yup, I actually had the same thing. I ruined a tape once when I was like 6 and my family called me tape for years. They thought it was funny but I just felt ridiculed tbh. Sometimes adults don't realize how it makes their children feel, a nickname should be based in something positive, not negative.

[@Kim-ng4ti]

And some people still think Carmy is simply 'just an asshole' with the way he handles stress and chaos but in truth he's a very anxious and deeply traumatized young man who needs professional help to respond to stress in a healthier and non-asshole kinda way, for his own and other people's sake. Everyone in this family needs help and healthier coping mechanisms.

[@alastorcorvus]

That's a bit of an understatement but still, 100% accurate

[@Kim-ng4ti]

@@alastorcorvus Yeah true haha, but y'all know what I mean

[@Okkotsu86275]

This episode was the definition of stress, anxiety, choas, and family dysfunction. It was too real and somewhat relatable for comfort. Each actor and actress brought their A game, especially Jamie Lee Curtis, she is just guest star, but she was acting like she led. Ritchie's Ex; Tiffany, is played by the delightful actress Gillian Jacobs she was on Community and she Is the VA of certain redhead superheroine on Invincible. This backstory for the Berzatto clan explains a lot.

[@vbvermont]

One of the best episodes of TV ever. It always surprises me how many reactors miss the significance of Michelle talking about bears 🐻

[@teknoYAY]

I invested in a stress ball cause of this show.

[@Okkotsu86275]

Good idea 😂😂

[@powertrip25]

Never have I seen a tv show that sit you directly at that table! Master class filming right here

[@dking6742]

In this episode you see Richie asking if his pregnant wife wants a sprite and it’s a call back to episode 4 I believe where he asks Sugar if she wants a sprite alluding to him being able to tell that she was pregnant. Which he did say I knew it after she revealed it.

[@AL-fl4jk]

Dam. Great catch

[@NileSwimmer]

What a cast. And this season's full of other cameos too. John Mulaney's speech eas my fave moment this episode. The title shoukd have beem called STRESS lol.

The cast was STACKED! Such a good episode. -Sam

@@TheReactPack That's truth

[@Quzga]

No one is eh physically ill... So good lol

[@teknoYAY]

You were close morgan but the mom is from the Halloween movies. With Michael Myers

[@Okkotsu86275]

Jaime Lee Curtis is the OG scream queen

[@TheReactPack]

She was also in Freaky Friday!! -Morgan

[@Okkotsu86275]

@@TheReactPack Yeah she was in the remake.

[@TopGunZero]

She's from many things. An entire generation knows her from Freaky Friday (remake). The first movie I saw her in was Trading Places.

[@RammiDoesStuff]

the theory of Richie or Mikey maybe liking Claire is CRAZYYYYYYY! Like, for me (even before seeing this episode), it was pretty clear that they viewed her as a little sister since she's the same age as Carmy

[@TopGunZero]

Yeah, Ritchie and Mickey are in their 40s and Carmey is in his late 20s early 30s. There's a pretty decent age gap between them.

[@RammiDoesStuff]

@@TopGunZero I mean, that never stopped people (Leonardo DiCaprio for one example) from dating people WAYYYY younger but that’s probably another good reasoning

[@Okkotsu86275]

I can't front, Sam almost took me out if the heartfelt and vulnerable moment between Mikey and Carmy with her Let it Rip joke😂😅😆. I really didn't see that coming 🤣🤣

[@beefstew5296]

Donna definitely crashed the car into the house not only bc of Natalie but also bc she probably saw Pete’s eighth fish outside the house causing her to go crazy over the fact she tried really hard on the dinner.

[@Okkotsu86275]

Damn, I never put that together. I just thought she did cause she was on one.

[@TheReactPack]

Ahh omg I forgot about the tuna casserole!!! -Morgan

[@powertrip25]

in conclusion, this was all Petes fault...fuck that guy lol

[@AGD_27]

I think it's definitely possible as well that she was drunk as fuck and drove into the house by mistake when she meant to reverse out of the driveway.

[@jfu6413]

The scene with Richie and his ex goes from adorable to depressing when seeing they had such a happy relationship in the past. We already know it’s doomed and have seen how all season Richie is descending into a shell of his former self.

[@josh9110]

I noticed on this watch that Donna thows a spoon in the kitchen at someone, wonder if Mikey had seen his mom do that alot and that's why he starts thowing forks at the end, really showing how the mom's tendencies got passed along

[@alastorcorvus]

Both Mikey and Donna as coded as bipolar or BPD

[@Reyesm02]

Genuinely one of the greatest episodes of television I’ve seen

[@lynnbell5706]

Gosh, even watching a reaction to this episode makes me cry and feel breathless. It's so realistic, and it brings back so many memories of family gathers that ended in fights and whirlwinds like this. From having a mom that's completely unreasonable and angry all the time to siblings and cousins and everyone that just yells and shouts. It's definitely PTSD inducing, but it is such a good episode, and it really showcases how the main cast of characters ended up the way they did because of the trauma they had to deal with. Favorite episode, though not one I will watch over and over again. No thank you, lol.

[@toriboy25]

Not sure if anyone brought this up but in the first season (Maybe episode 1?) Sugar asks Carmy if he has called Mom yet. So she is still around. In fact when Jamie Lee Curtis saw that episode she said to herself that she was going to play the Mom.

[@randomverse1501]

This episode is the definition of Chaos, Anxiety, depression.

[@GodMcQueen]

*One of the greatest episodes.*

[@stsamurai_]

I read a comment somewhere that everyone is so hostile and confrontational with Pete because he’s so genuinely nice to all of them that it throws them off and they think that he’s being fake😂😂. Like they’re all so messed up that even decent people set off an alarm in their head lmaoooo.

[@tejida815]

The whole crew did an amazing job. Thank goodness you’re not watching this in November. 😉

[@alastorcorvus]

This episode is masterpiece in character work and atmosphere building. It's hilarious that 90% of the reactions/reviews I've seen about this episode can be reduced to three stages: "Is that Jamie Lee Curtis?" "Pls don't throw the fork" "This episode gave me anxiety "

[@maumautg]

man.... this episode looked extra ruff on Morgan... Several times I felt like she was struggling not to comment something... Morgs, you are the best!!! I love to see you well and smiling... And i know you know this just a show, you're such a babe hehe Love you guys, tks for the great work

First time i saw this episode i didnt understand it at all. Only on a rewatch i picked up on a lot of character stuff.

Believe it or not next episode is call forks 😮

[@xXRaion98Xx]

I said this in another video, but you don't understand the amount of PTSD this episode brought to me, so many holidays felt like a war zone, I guess mexicans (like me) and Italians really do have things in common.

[@SpikeSpiegel09]

The girls are really struggling with this fake number bit lol ladies… he just didn’t want to give her the real number because he knew he like her and she would draw his attention away from the restaurant. He wanted to keep his focus on the restaurant. That’s all. Lol
