At the Los Angeles premiere of The Bear, creator Chris Storer said this season is about legacy (see: episode seven, “Legacy“), but it’s also about “finding the right people when you’re supposed to find them.” And watching “Apologies,” I’m not sure if this little Bear group we considered a family is one anymore. I think it’s important that Syd met Carmy when she did, that she had his fish dish in New York, and that he helped her find the confidence she lost when her catering business failed.
