Summary
Sydney had thought that once she finally gave Shapiro her answer, things would finally fall into place. The restaurant was finally making a (small) profit, her dish got rave reviews, the team was settling into their own respective roles, nobody had quit in over two months, and Marcus' nomination was only the cherry on top.
For the first time, she'd let herself believe that everything was going to be okay. She could finally see the light at the end of this long and strenuous tunnel.
And then Peter called.
And the news hit her hard. Like that light at the end of the tunnel was actually just a train coming straight to hit her.
Now the whole thing feels like a nightmare she can't wake up from.
She stares down at her prep notes, trying to concentrate, but it's like her brain can't focus on anything. All she can think about is this place without Carmy in it and how wrong it'll feel without him.
______________
Following the season finale, Sydney continues to struggle with Carmy's decision to leave The Bear. Meanwhile, Carmy is determined to hold his promise to pay off the restaurant's debt before time runs out, all while trying to repair his relationship with Sydney.Series

Summary
“You know, I think we have this tendency to think of chaos as a bad thing. Like, if something’s chaotic it must be harmful, and it must be changed, or…ordered. But I think chaos itself is…natural, you know? The world around us thrives on chaos. Small changes make big differences. The butterfly effect, I guess. And, at its best, out of chaos comes creativity. I think it’s more about how we respond to the chaos that counts.”
“And how do I...we— How does anyone do that? Respond to the chaos?”
“I guess…learn to ride the wave, chef.”
