Season 4 of the FX series premiered on June 25, leaving it with an uncertain future The Bear is a 10-course meal — complete with family drama, culinary prowess and sweet silver linings. Created by Christopher Storer,

Warning! Spoilers for The Bear season 4 ahead! Carmy told Sydney that she is "the Bear" in The Bear season 4, but what did this really mean? The moment came at the end of the season when Carmy finally told Sydney that he planned on leaving the restaurant once the place's debts were all cleared up.

While watching Season 4 of The Bear, I kept thinking about Carmy’s declaration to Mikey in the opening flashback regarding his dream of making a peaceful and joyful restaurant. Clearly, he hasn't done that, and this season, while on a quest to heal, he started to question if his work was worth it.
