The morning after the restaurant's successful service, Natalie reveals that the restaurant has enough money to continue operating, though not to turn a profit, while Richie is invited to attend an international hospitality seminar in Japan. Cicero apologizes to Carmy and endorses Ebraheim's franchising proposal, which Carmy immediately approves. After Richie experiences a panic attack over traveling abroad, Carmy reassures him. Carmy receives a call from the actual Michelin Guide representative—Peter Clark, who dined at The Bear months prior —that the restaurant has earned two Michelin stars, and he shares the news with a stunned Sydney. Weeks later, Luca departs for Copenhagen and bids farewell to Marcus, while Ebraheim begins developing the franchise. Carmy interviews for an internship at an architectural firm and gets emotional when recounting what The Bear meant to him. The Bear staff and their loved ones celebrate the birthday of Richie's daughter Eva at the restaurant. Richie leaves for Japan with Jess, the two now in a relationship.
