PRESSURE FOR RICHIE. SEASON 3 THE BEAR

One of the saddest things I saw this season was Richie wondering if he should back away from EVA.

I can see why he'd feel insecure

Uncle Frank loves Eva and Tiff

Frank has a beautiful house that he got through his own strength in a great neighborhood

Frank is gorgeous and gentlemanly and seems like a decent person.

Meanwhile Richie thinks his being alone (and not well off)

Might be a hindrance to Eva.

This made me tear up

Of course he shouldn't back away from his child!

Fic idea where Richie fully tries to reconnect with life

First chapter is Richie being invited to go dress shopping with Frank and Tiff as she's their flower girl. He gets along with them and thinks he could be friends

Second chapter is him reaching out to his parents, who he cut off contact with since he left home. He tells them what they missed, how they were partially right by their suspicion of the Berzattos because Richie feels like he keeps getting drawn in only to be pushed out when things get tough, he feels like their caretaker and the one putting them back together. It's rocky but it's a start. His dad apologises for the hard, neglectful way he treated him, and that he missed having him in his life a lot more than he cared about the rules he put in place. He shows them the Bear and his mother apologises then.

Third chapter is Richie applying for jobs. He's realised how this is another sinking ship and he can't go down with another Berzatto. I think it would be interesting if Carmy started to improve, he talks with Sydney and she ends up staying but Richie ends up leaving. He's spent most of his career in the same place and he's grown more than that. I think it would be a nice end to his character arc to have him leave the Bear, and in some ways the Berzatto family or at least him putting boundaries in place, while Sydney gets accepted in and let's herself be accepted.

This could also have him having some interviews that don't go well. Him being rejected, perhaps mirror Tina's episode with him putting so much time in at the Beef that's now the Bear but not being good enough for the same role elsewhere as he's not educated and doesn't have enough experience.

Fifth chapter is him getting a job. I can see him working somewhere not Michelin star as he doesn't care for them, but somewhere that cares about the food and the people. I can also see him working in a hotel, or, controversially (?) leaving the hospitality industry as a whole and taking his passion for people and working somewhere else.

Can anyone else see Richie as a good nurse or is it just me? Him seeing the same faces, having a rapour with them, making them smile and helping them, I can see him flirting with elderly ladies to make them smile (yes I'm thinking of him being a palliative care/geriatric nurse

He hands in his notice at the Bear and when asked why he goes into how it's heartless. He's trying so hard to improve himself but how can he when there's so much tension and he's not respected, he's earning the same wage as he did at the Beef but is working so much harder and longer and is still relying on tips even though people pay $175 a head. He also tells them, trying to be respectful, how they've all collectively failed at making the Beef better by wrapping their dysfunctions in a different jacket, so to speak. Syd wanted things to be better, for people not to feel and act shitty but now it's even worse because there's no fun. They've got more debt and everyone's unhappy and he can't put another Berzatto back together, he can't go down with another sinking ship and he respects himself more than that.

Sixth chapter could be a time skip. Think 2 years later, Richie’s finished his associates degree in nursing and is starting as a nurse for a carer company. He goes out to celebrate, someone books the Bear, he's heard that things are better, not Michelin star but not shitty quality like the Beef, somewhere in the middle.

It's strange for everyone else, seeing Richie as the customer. He kept in touch, but life's busy, he became more like a true cousin, one you see more at family functions than day in day out. He’s on good terms with his parents, good friends with Tiff and Frank, Eva’s growing up, turning 8 now. They stay close to closing, he leaves a big tip but waves through the window before going.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT FRANK (and Luca). SEASON 3 THE BEAR

The more I look at Frank, I just feel like there's a point they were trying to make

Like in season 3 were they trying to push the perfect versions of Carmy and Richie?

Like (very briefly), Luca is everything that Carmy is not right now personality wise. Attractiveness they could both rate an 7.5 depending on who you talk to

But FRANK. Frank just has it ALL.

1. Tall. He and Richie are about equal

2. Gorgeous. Richie can hold his own but he's a 7.4 where Frank is an 9.2

3. Money. No competition Frank wins

4. Loveabiliity. Richie has a heart to him that big and deep. Franks seems the same and he also even tempered and a little anxious, wants to do right. He's endearing

If you watch the scene over and over, it makes you ask yourself why did they pick him. I'm sure other stars wanted to join. But they picked someone who everyone would EASILY fall for and like.

Same with Luca.

SEEMINGLY Full rounded and grounded personalities. EVEN THOUGH we just meet Frank briefly, we kinda feel at home with him

THEY DID NOT DO THAT FOR CLAIRE.

There is a reason for THAT difference.

[bearsinpotatosacks]

The options don't leave a lot of room so here's some more context:

Option 1- Richie realises how tired he is with how things are at the Bear, how he has potential and how he can't go down with another Berzatto because he's done it before and nothing good happened because of it. He gets another job, in the same industry or not, but one that works with people and leaves. He keeps in contact but isn't as close as the Bear is so all time consuming. He comes in some period of time later, with Tiff and Frank, Eva, possibly his parents if they've made peace, maybe a significant other. The Bear crew notice how at peace he is, he talks for a bit and he's happier than any of them have seen in a while.

Option 2- Richie considers leaving but gives Carmy and the Bear one last chance. He and Carmy honestly talk, about personal shit, how tired and fed up they both are, about how angry Richie is at him for making the Bear into something that makes everyone unhappy, how no one asked him to make it a depressing, stressful, unhappy fine dining place. He goes into the non-negotiables and the menu and how he didn't have to make the Bear the kind of restaurant that traumatised Carmy & Syd because of how toxic they were. The Bear changes, it isn't as fine dining, this is can go off if the review was good or bad, because either way it can show how they've put all that work in and it doesn't feel worth it. Richie meets this significant other as they're the parent of Eva's friend. A lot of shenanigans about Richie not telling the staff of the Bear about his new relationship and them slowly finding out.
