This year, that episode is Doors.
Angela Brooks, Marcus said, never let him be scared and kept things moving.
She let him watchRobocopas a kid, and she was a good cook.
She loved flowers, too.
But more than anything, she was a good listener.
Having someone really pay attention to you was really special.
Cue the title card and me curling up into a little ball to wail.
The rest of the episode focuses on the Bears first month of service.
It starts off well.
Theyre packed on opening night!
Despite being packed every night, the restaurant is losing money.
Not that Carmy seems to care; hes too busy spending $11,268 on Orwellian butter.
Cicero, naturally, is pissed.
Bump that shit to $200, minimum.
Is there even an optional wine pairing?)
I get what Carms doing with the menu changes, but no one says they have to changeeverynight.
Are they changing every dish every night, or just some?
Could you change one dish one night and another a week later?
Do a seasonal clean sweep.
The Bear cant afford to do that yet, no matter how much Carmy would like.
(Again, raise the price, especially if youre already packed every night.)
There are never enough teaspoons.
Pots are always boiling over.
Ebra cant handle the beef window alone.
Youre doing the same prep, washing the same dishes, mopping the same floor.
Small Bites
Just how thickisthis glass wall between the kitchen and the dining?
I suppose this is a case where some disbelief will have to be extended, but good lord.
Its like being in the Wieners Circle in there.
Richie kills Carmy with the zingers always.
The one I loved in this episode was, Youre not fully integrated.
Dont talk to me until youre integrated, jagoff.
that came up when Richie dropped that plate was positively Pavlovian.
