The Bear Recap: When You Need a Helping Hand
Sydney gets new braids and a tweenage sounding board.
One thing’s for sure, though: If Syd knew about that change, you have to assume it might steer her “slumber party” decision a different way, reminding her that while Carmy is scattered and shouty, he’s still probably better — or at least less icky — than the almost-too-well-intentioned Shapiro. I’m certainly biased here — we’ve spent years watching The Bear come to life,so obviously that’s where I want Syd to stay — but Shapiro’s spot seems like Pinocchio’s Pleasure Island. It’s not hard to infer why — we don’t know a lot about her backstory, but maybe she has always felt a little out of step in her schooling, in her home, in the kitchen, wherever — so whatever vibe, intentional or unintentional, she’s been picking up at The Bear must only exacerbate that.
