SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from Season 3, Episode 2 of The Bear.
While it was assumed last season that Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) would be an official partner in her and Carmy’s (Jeremy Allen White) burgeoning restaurant, Season 3 confirms that she won’t be forgoing six months of her salary for nothing.
“I think she’s always balancing his validation and his style of communication, because he will do a gesture but not necessarily say what he’s thinking or feeling,” she explained. “So I think even though he does [assure she’s a partner], it’s actually quite complicated. She’s sort of like, ‘Is that true? You’re offering me this thing. But what does it actually mean?'”
The actor says Sydney trying to decode Carmy’s actions in this way will be “a part of the journey of the season.”
Edebiri also steps into the directors chair in Episode 6, saying during Wednesday’s premiere event that she cried when reading the script for the first time.
“It’s written very beautifully,” she said. “I was just so moved by it and really, really touched that Chris [Storer] had me in mind to direct it. I could see it as soon as I read it.”
All episodes of The Bear Season 3 are now streaming on Hulu.
