'He likes you more than he likes himself,' which is both a compliment and a neg because, in fact, he doesn't seem to like himself very much at all.

But they're right that no one takes care of Carmy, and while I don't think that should be a girlfriend or wife's job, necessarily, I suppose it could work if he could take care of her right back, with his food and his strong arms and shoulders.

('He could hug you a lot more,' the simple, simple Faks say.

) To her credit, Claire at least seems to take it in… even if she thinks it's ridiculous.

She knows the brothers are coming from a good place but also that it's not her move to make.

She can't accept his apology before he makes it—what kind of precedent does that set? And is love enough to sustain their relationship, even if she is 'the peace'?It doesn't seem like Cicero's $850,000 loan is enough to sustain The Bear since The Computer tells him that he must recall it or go broke altogether.

I don't entirely understand why—something about shorts and the market ripping—but what will happen to The Bear if there's no more money? It seems like, at this point, they could probably find other investors, but who knows if they'd be as hands-off as Cicero, who's already taken a pretty big wash on the money Mikey stole from him in the first place.

He tells Carm he’ll have to walk if they don't get a good review, but Computer seems to think it has to happen no matter what the review says.

When the episode ends, Carm's dressed up sharp and heading out, leaving us a glimpse of the prayer card he either picked up at Marcus' mom's funeral or pulled out of The Bear since he didn't make it inside Mikey's.

He's going to a funeral for a restaurant, but will it be a funeral for The Bear as well? Thank god we've only got the finale left, because I've really got to know how this all turns out.

- I'm very into the chef's locker room decor, which consists of a Paul Rudd cutout in a Beef shirt, a poster, and.

- I understand why Tiffany wants Richie to go to her wedding, if not for her, then for Evie… but man, that's still really rough.

- Does Tina's cauliflower dish somehow involve blending raw Brussels sprouts in a Vitamix? I'm not saying it would be bad, but for some reason, I would just never think it would be raw.

- Based on Cicero's speech, what if Carmy's legacy isn't The Bear but rather how he nurtures people's goals and dreams 'no matter how batshit they sound.

' Would he be a better teacher, maybe, than a restaurateur? Assuming, that is, that he didn't chew out his students every single time they overcooked some Wagyu.
