THE BEAR SEASON 3 | Episode 10 - Forever
Are you close? Yeah. Kind of best friends and kind of lost touch, so. It's nice to reconnect. Yeah, especially when it literally is like a best friend that you saw every day of your life and you kinda went through this sort of battle together.
Merritt: So Syd and I roomed together on road trips because we're a couple.
Sydney: Roomies. Roomies slash lovers!
M: Y'all know how that goes, don't you?
S: Yeah.
M: Well played, you guys, well played.
Christen: Guilty. Guilty.
Tobin: Well played. Well played.
S: Yeah, just roommates.
M: We took a little note from your playbook and it works, actually. No one asked us shit.
S: Yeah, yeah.
M: So anyway, we're laying in bed together watching those...
S: Yeah.
S: Cuddling.
T: You always knew when the double bed, like one of them was, like, completely was made.
M: Yeah. When you're trying to hide everything, you’re like, let me just...
T: Mess up that other bed.
C: Untuck those sheets, now we're good!
M: Uh, move that pillow a little bit.
It gives off twin flame energy. I think the director was intentional with the Carmy and Syd's mirroring in this episode. They were both wearing dark sweaters with a design on their right side, possibly the same side as their shoulder tattoos, along with the choreography. This is the last time we see Sydney and Carmy's partnership play out smoothly before Claire and Carmy reunite and Emmanuel fills Sydney with doubts. This moment shows us that they are a union and that they're better together than apart- they're equals.
me before watching the bear: oh fun, a show about hot line cooks
me after: every single character exists to portray the different ways humans handle grief. grief and having a passion for something are the two things that propel us forward. every action and word we produce is backed up by grief, and the needing to talk it out. our found family becomes others who have lost people.
