What Happened in Season 2 of ‘The Bear’? 

At the end of the second season, the restaurant is set to open with its “Friends and Family” night until chaos ensues on opening day. Nevertheless, the staff manages to pull through, and The Bear has a successful first round with the public. 

However, the main characters’ personal lives start to crumble. Reeling from her stress to impress her father, Sydney becomes sick and Carmy begins to feel the trauma from his past working environment, where his former boss abused him. As he is about to greet his girlfriend, Claire (Molly Gordon), in the restaurant, Carmy hallucinates and sees his former chef, causing him to spiral. 

After Carmy gets stuck in the walk-in fridge thanks to its faulty handle, Sydney has a moment of panic as the staff looks to her for guidance. While he has a moment to reflect on himself, Carmy accidentally vents to Claire that he “failed” his staff by being in a relationship with her, causing her to cry and presumably ending their romance as of now.
