S3E10 · Forever

Complete story — includes the ending

Carmy, Sydney and Richie attend the Ever closing dinner. Richie spends time with Garrett and Jessica while they run service, while Carmy reconnects with Luca, who plans to stay in Chicago for a few months to visit his sister. Sydney converses with Luca and various renowned chefs as they share their stories from past kitchens, and is struck by their aversion to dysfunctional kitchen environments. Carmy confronts David Fields and accuses him of ruining his self-worth; he snidely claims Carmy should be thanking him as his abuse towards Carmy made him a better chef. Adam reminds Sydney about his prior offer, to which she states she is still interested. Chef Terry explains her choice to close the restaurant to Carmy, explaining she was tired of the constant stress and wanted to finish her career on her own terms. After the service, Sydney hosts an afterparty at her apartment attended by Luca, Chef Terry, and members of The Bear and Ever's staff. Noticing the Original Beef's old four-star review and thinking about how the staff has changed since, Sydney runs out of her apartment and has a panic attack. Carmy checks his phone to discover several missed calls from Cicero and Computer, along with the Tribune review.
