Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJamie Lee Curtis was a fan of The Bear before joining the cast in Season 2. She said that as soon as she saw the first episode, where Sugar/Natalie (played by Abby Elliott) asks Carmy (played by Jeremy Allen White) about their mother, she "knew that she would play her."
- GoofsIn the kitchen while cooking dinner, Donna thinks Natalie looks sick and yells at Michael to get her some Brio-shee, referring to an Italian lemon flavored antacid similar to Alka Seltzer. A family as Italian as the Berzattos would never pronounce Brioschi as "brio-shee." It is pronounced "brio-ski."
- Quotes
Stevie: Okay. Um... Listen. Everyone's asking what this... What is the seven fishes or why do we do it?
Donna Berzatto: Mm-hmm.
Stevie: And I think I know what my definition is. Uh, as soon as I think of it. It's a chance to... be together and to take care of each other. And to eat together. And there's seven fishes, which means you have to make seven entirely different dishes. Seven entirely different ways. And that takes a lot of time. And... I think spending that time and using that time on the people that we love is how we show them that we love them. And maybe we eat too much... and we definitely drink too much and we say too much without listening. But... tonight we... we're gonna eat seven fishes... which is absurd. Uh... But we have to take extra time to do it and we have to chew more and we have to listen more. And, uh, we only get to do this tonight one time. So... I, by the way, love it. I love being here. Thank you for having me every year at this. I look... I very much look forward to this. And I love you. I'm very in love with Michelle. And I'm not gay like you guys asked a lot. But I was thinking about what... what you said about bears and how they're aggressive. They're aggressive, but they're kind. They're sensitive. You guys have been so kind to me. You let me hang out with you every holiday. I don't have a family like this and... I'm really grateful that, um, you make space for me at this table and you make time for me on the holidays. May God bless us and keep us safe in the New Year. And please give Michael the strength not to throw that fork. Amen.

What an insane ride of an episode that was. I don't think I've ever watched a tv episode about a family that felt so real. I started thinking that I would be exactly like the guy with the glasses, cracking jokes and trying to lighten the mood. Like I was there. Every newly introduced character acted and talked exactly like you would feel they do. I don't think people realize how hard is it to write dialogue that flows so naturally and feels so authentic. The acting is crazy good too.
Honestly, one of the best tv episodes I've watched in a minute. The next episode is a breath of fresh air as well. The bear you are spoiling us with this michelin star worthy entertainment. Please continue to do so.
