S5E2 · Lamb

Complete story — includes the ending

The burst pipe causes the restaurant to flood; the staff cleans up and continues preparing for service, as they cannot afford to close for even one day. Sydney organizes the crew while Natalie negotiates with vendors, Marcus arranges for his estranged father to attend service, and Carmy's attempt to clear the drain worsens the flooding. Richie proposes a tax credit program to reduce expenses, but Cicero's inspection reveals extensive structural damage; he also admits cancelling the restaurant's wagyu order to save money. After learning the building may be unsellable due to its condition, Natalie confides her fears that her sacrifices have come at the expense of time with her daughter, and Tina reassures her. When an argument breaks out before service, Sydney restores order by outlining a plan, and the reservation system comes back online.
