When’s the next mail time

[@hellfish2309]

“Every 2nd counts” is almost Ted Lasso worthy

[@lovetoread99]

This was my favorite episode of the entire show. Richie’s character arc has been absolutely incredible, and props to Ebon Moss-Bachrach for such a stellar performance.

[@glitterflyy]

Agreed! I LOVED this one. Richie finding himself was SUCH a satisfying part of the story. This one’s heartwarming.

[@ToastKnight_]

Never cried harder to a grown man blasting Taylor Swift

[@sammi_23]

They gave us the most stressful hour long episode and then gifted us with the happiest episode of the bear right after :,) 💜

[@KnucKsify]

One cool reference with Richie seeing the picture of Carmy and Luca - in the episode in Copenhagen, when Luca is talking about chasing a chef knowing he would never be the best, and that made him better, that picture calls out he's referring to Carmy.

[@kihyahouston387]

I feel like in the previous episode when Carmy said that he slept on a boat and fed an imaginary cat, that confirmed that Luca was talking about him to Marcus

[@pnam1497]

Ah yeah!

[@engadavid23]

I concluded this as well once I saw that photo!

[@Zbeast5972]

I didn’t piece that together when Luca was telling the story. I just wanted to believe it was “some” chef. So seeing it revealed as Carmy made me really happy.

[@11ibi]

This episode was already perfection then adding Olivia Coleman the legend in here just added that little bit more with that last scene I love how every character is developed in the show outstanding writing loving these reactions

[@hellfish2309]

I love Chef Terry: she’s a great anti-thesis to Donna Berzatto

[@Batt-man]

@@hellfish2309great point!

[@iwillcry]

everyone except claire

[@hon3ychalla]

I’ve never wanted to give a fictional character a hug as much as I have Richie

[@chance757]

dunno if you guys caught it but this episode tells us (without words) that the incredible chef luca talked about training beside in episode 4 was carmy! the picture also explained some of carmy’s connections. his time at chef terry’s restaurant enabled him to send richie there and also allowed him to send marcus to his old buddy in copenhagen. idk, i just think think it’s really cool to have unasked questions in the show answered in a completely unassuming way; if you get it, you get it. if you don’t, you don’t. such good writing 💛

[@lorettabes4553]

Yessss

[@DaniG-ex3vf]

This was my favourite episode this season because it showed not only Richie's growth but the fact Carmie was on top of things. Paying attention to everyone’s needs to find their place and purpose in the new restaurant (despite what he believes).

[@jaijais]

i’ve seen the season once through but i’ve rewatched this episode countless times. really fantastic storytelling, and richie’s search for purpose really resonated with me. can’t listen to love story without thinking of richie now lol

[@Zbeast5972]

I also struggle with finding my purpose

[@symonew33]

I never thought when I was watching episode one of season 1 that Richie would have one of the best character arcs and he would end up being one of my favs.

[@MikeTaffet]

You start off this episode thinking that “Every Second Counts” is some soulless efficiency at all costs sort of phrase, and by the end you realize how personal and meaningful it is, and that it’s about making the most of yourself in every moment. Damn good writing.

[@whatwhatwhatttttt]

yes!!! it starts off making you feel like a cog in the machine sort of thing, but then you find out the personal connection of chef terry's dad finding the beauty in mundane, fleeting things like purple sunsets to how she applies it to her life (personally peeling mushrooms). this show's writing is so good

[@ssotkow]

I like the fact you boys take on great shows that are less popular. May y'all find happiness like Richie.

[@danieljessekaplan]

The bear has a massive audience and was nominated for 13 Emmy’s in its first season, what are you talking about lol

[@lorettabes4553]

@@danieljessekaplan People are still discovering this show all the time though

[@lavaladybug]

This was probably my favorite episode this season. Having worked in food service with people like Richie who are struggling with their purpose, I cried several times. You rarely get to see those people find their purpose during the time that you're in each other's lives. He's just so precious and the storytelling was so human! So wonderful and inspirational and rewatchable~

[@hypertwink]

I love this episode. This is the ‘Love Story’ of Richie with the restaurant business. tbh whole I love all the big name cameos, my fave guest star is the actor playing Garrett ❤

[@2kooldancin]

Richie needs to go back to that restaurant and ask for the expo’s number. She was diggin him!😂💜

[@mirandavega_]

That last scene made my heart warm for Richie sm. I’m so glad he has a clearer mindset now.

[@caleb2670]

So the reason Richie thought that carmie was trying to get rid of him was because the last time they spoke he was arguing with sugar and as sugar walked out she told carmie to “do something about him” and carmie said “I will.” So Richie thinks this is carmie doing something about him lol Richie also told the story at the beginning of the season about the talented kids that left behind their non talented friend and he’s been feeling like sooner or later he will be left behind considering he doesn’t exactly fit a fancy restaurant setting before this episode. Richie seems to think this might be carmie “dropping his ass” or beginning to “drop his ass” by sending him away so he stops getting in the way of projects. Also in richies mind its only a coincidence that he got to shadow and serve customers that day for all he knows he was supposed to be on fork duty for 8 hours a day for a whole week. To be fair they sent everyone else to meaningful places to improve their skills and seemingly sent richie too clean forks for a week to just get him out of the way for a bit. All of that is why it’s so nice when he later in the episode learns that carmie didn’t send him over there for fork duty or too get rid of him but because he knew he had a special skill and was good with people.

[@je945]

What episode was sugar and richie arguing again?

[@caleb2670]

@@je945 every episode of season 2 leading into the flashback and richies growth episode 😂

[@caleb2670]

It should also be added that the reason Richie had been causing so much trouble at the beginning of the season and trying to be in charge of things he didn’t understand or have experience in was because he was trying too hard to make himself a necessity he was trying to be in charge of everything so he would be irreplaceable and to prove to others and himself that he was on the same level as them. That’s why he got so upset when that didn’t work out for him.

[@fojemo1661]

​@@je945when Carmy brought Claire to the restaurant

[@Frostylyxxx]

I have never cheered for a character to succeed more than in this episode!!! LET’S GO RICH!!

[@crfstaley]

Ah bummer you guys had to cut when Richie sings Taylor Swift in the car cause copyright that scene was so good

[@fcannistraro2878]

A former resident in a Chicago who grew up working in restaurants, that was a stuffed pizza and it didn’t look appetizing. Sauce probably shifted during filming/transporting. I enjoyed watching Richie transform in this episode. Could’ve easily seen him spiral downward like Mikey.

[@nicokuhne3255]

the every second counts payoff was incredibly sick. You see it pop up a couple times throughout the show and then it was something this womans dad wrote in his notebooks. Wow.

[@pizybaker6587]

when richie was driving singing taylor swift had me laughing

[@lottiesummers]

This was my favorite episode of the series so far. It made me really love Ritchie I think I cried when he started to get it and care

[@cfbg]

Richie has always been my fave. Ebon is gonna get his flowers!

[@sadisticwinter8354]

This is my favorite episode of both seasons. Amazing character arc.

[@scottlouis]

This was my fav episode of the series. I love Ritchie. To see him rise to the occasion was very cool. The staff mtg and the “Nobody drops a check. We’re gonna blow their fucking minds.” That made me tear up.

[@TheBrookelynChick]

Clearly you guys need to start watching some more stuff with Olivia in it. 😂❤️

[@chance757]

definitely! i LOVE olivia coleman with all my little heart 😭💕

[@danieljessekaplan]

When they said yeah she’s from “heartbreaker” I was like yikes that’s like saying Meryl Streep is from mamma Mia

[@UserName-vb4lg]

Right? Academy award winner Olivia Colman.

[@3gs.nation]

Been blasting love stroy non stop, thanks ritchie. Every second counts what a good motto to live by.

[@MarieTheOstrich]

this one was the perfect episode to watch after that anxiety filled Christmas dinner

[@flor8567]

Love how this episode shows the passion that drives the "machine" in these high-end restaurants. You can't charge people 700 dollars and not give customers the experience of a lifetime. Earlier in the season we're shown that Marcus visits Noma the real-life best restaurant in the world.

[@hellfish2309]

2.6, 2.7, and 2.8 make perfect main courses in the season 2 meal And I love the structure of this episode and playful spins they use

[@ronnieh7925]

Bryce casually mentioning he served Kurt Angle ❤ used to be one of my favorite wrestlers

[@KB_-_]

At Harvard Business School we studied Coach K’s leadership style … the man made an impact

[@bluenick123]

I was so happy this entire episode. I was literally yelling and cheering for Richie in my house

[@bossbacon302]

This has to be my favorite episode of the season. I could always tell Richie had potential and I’m so happy to see him doing better in this episode. It’s great that he’s been finding his purpose and his arc this season has been so relatable for me. Thanks for the reactions to this amazing show guys!!!

[@mikelgorbechev]

Favorite episode of tv in a LONG time

[@Rash23215]

14:40 Wtf guys.... U guys loved fleabag.... How can u not remember her from fleabag???

[@armuraxasmr]

Bryce stays glowing up! Another great reaction from the gang. Thanks guys! #lovefromCA 🫶🏽

[@mariascarsella5509]

If you watch the Christmas episode back Tiff is wearing a Taylor Swift t shirt maybe that’s why he loves her music so much

[@mikemelfa]

Incredible episode. Loved the growth shown by Richie in just a matter of a week’s time (under the right guidance). Ebon knocked it out of the park this season. Side note: I loved the subtle chemistry between Richie & Chef Jessica (played by the incredible Sarah Ramos). I truly hope her character pops back in Season 3. She could be the new start Richie needs in the romance department, now that stiff has moved on.

[@hellfish2309]

I really don’t think she was interested in Richie with those looks: that last one had me believing she was worried for him now that his time at this restaurant is ending and that he might slip back into old, bitter habits; hence the follow up scene with Chef Terry to put a button on the new outlook he leaves this place with

[@mikemelfa]

@@hellfish2309 Really? Oh I didn’t get that vibe at all. I thought her “don’t be a stranger” was kinda flirtatious. Maybe I just read into it wrong. Since when do men ever know what women are thinking? Lmaooo

[@Grenn1471]

Last time I was at Peqod's, they had a 5 hour wait. That was 2 years ago. Who knows what this episode will do for their wait time.

[@onlineuser252]

one of the best episodes of television this year in my opinion!

[@nickschnider9191]

Not gonna lie i was really hoping for this video today guys, tough weekend in the kitchen for me

[@nathangreen6638]

Coach K is from Chicago so he fits with the show pretty well

[@urgirlmerve522]

I was waiting for this video to drop all day YAYYYY

[@317cmrogers]

I had completely given up on Ritchie lol he seemed like the one weak link who was loyal but seemed useless in the new image that theyve been striving for. This 180 not only cemented his place & purpose, but hit so close to home, I watch this episode as motivation for myself😅 I cant even believe they were able to create something so good following an episode like Fishes🙌 Ebon Moss-Bacharach is so good

[@leiyavns]

Literally one of the best episode. Love you guys❤

[@lizjewelry]

While this was one of my favorite episodes of both seasons, the one thing that bothered me is that ALL of Richies changes and moving up in his stage duties and the relationships he makes…occurs in one week? One month would make more sense.

[@LuizFelipe-ci3fr]

Olivia Colman is The One and Only One.

[@apppletreee]

I can't believe yall skipped the scene 😭

[@OnePunchCat]

best eps in this season, imo.

[@rem6741]

Am i the only one who thought this episode was gonna be a dream richie was having at first

[@kenny1891]

why is zuff looking extra fine today?

[@RVV07]

I loved this one ❤❤❤

[@mikelgorbechev]

sad you skipped over the taylor swift montage that was the best part

[@Rash23215]

No it wasn't

[@TheBrookelynChick]

Probably for copyright reasons.

[@Pandaluver67899]

As a Chicagoan, Deep Dish isn't our default pizza option either, it's more of a tourist thing

[@SpiralSine6]

11:50 I can verify that deep dish is the best pizza in the world.

[@friedjrice]

insane kurt angle name drop

[@DerrickWilliams-ml8vs]

this one is for me the best episode of the show

[@PianoMoverSmith1]

Cousin!

[@278wj]

I think this was my favourite episode besides fishes. Have you guys watched Mr Robot? As it’s absolutely phenomenal!

[@giulia7694]

Olivia Coleman was also in Fleabag 😊

[@Chaosm03]

Who would have thought that Taylor Swift would be a big of one of the best episodes of the series. But, that look in Richie's eyes when the music hits in both scenes it's so inspiring. My favorite episode of the series.

[@franciscos.1144]

In episode 2x6 Luka (Will Poulter) mentioned a chef who was better than him that started on the same day. The picture confirmed he was talking about Carmy, wow. And obviously Carmy has respect for Luka since he sent one of his chefs to learn from him.

[@christian8657]

Where was the reaction to the song? Cut from copyright?

[@vincebasile8721]

As a Chicagoan, Deep Dish is fine but once you've had it once or take friends and family who visit here it's really not that big a deal most of us prefer a good thin crust pizza.

[@lizjewelry]

FYI (real) deep dish pizza is amazing. It melts in your mouth. It’s SO fucking good, You owe it to yourselves to try it :)

Deep Dish is pizza. It's great. don't be a hater

this episode was a much needed soothing balm after the last one ❤‍🩹 go richie!!! find your purpose!!
