Summary
Carmy always wondered why Sydney'd come back, why she’d never threatened to leave again. He’d given her plenty reasons to and yet they’d never found themselves in that place since. He wasn’t eager to repeat the past, and the panic he could feel rising in his throat almost made him turn around, walk back out the door, put this off until he was more certain Sydney wouldn’t tell him she regretted ever responding to that help wanted ad and agreeing to open an entire fucking restaurant with him.
OR: Following the review, Carmy and Sydney have to navigate a new challenge that could mean the end, or the beginning, of everything.

Summary
“Maybe we should tell somebody?” she asked as Carmy pulled out his wallet and checked his own driver’s license, confirming their shared address.
He shook his head. “I don’t think they’d believe us, Syd. Richie didn’t. I mean, would you believe us?” He held up his wallet. Inside the photo sleeve was a small picture of the two of them holding what appeared to be a newborn Gemma.
Sydney sighed, “No.”
She tried to imagine how it would go but in every scenario telling someone that everything about their lives was fake and wrong ended with one or both of them in psychiatric treatment and Gemma, their daughter in the care of others and not her unfit, delusional parents. Sydney shifted the car into reverse and glanced at the child sleeping in her car seat. “We’ll have to figure it out ourselves.” -

Summary
When Carmy’s piece of shit father finally dies, the news doesn’t come through family. It’s through a lawyer. An older man with a painter’s brush mustache, a Saint Laurent checkered cashmere suit, and a Chopard on his wrist. The inheritance is clear, his ill-gotten estate is to be split between his remaining biological children. The only issue is the two clauses to the hefty windfall heading their way.
One - If any sibling can’t meet the standards of the clause, the other siblings can not share their inheritance or they forfeit their own.
Two - They must be legally married for at least one year before receiving their share.
When Carmy can see the dreams he’d be able to make a reality with that cash fade away he’d blurted out that he was engaged without thinking. Engaged to Sydney. The only issue with Carmy’s grand plan was Sydney hadn’t spoke to him since he left The Bear. Almost two years ago.

Summary
Sydney Adamu never meant to come back to Chicago. But after Emmanuel’s retirement, her mother’s flower shop became hers, and obligation began to look a lot like an ending.
Then Carmen Berzatto started coming in. Every week, same order, same recipient—Claire Dunlap. He was polite, quiet, always looking like he was apologizing for existing. Sydney didn’t expect to notice him, but somehow, she did.
And then one morning, another man walks in with the same order—same arrangement, same woman, same address.

Summary
Carmy has always avoided therapy. So afraid to go. Scared to prod at unhealed wounds. and to unearth more emotional baggage that he's quite frankly too tired to tend to.
Anyway, he had figured that equilibrium would find him eventually. His fucked state had always been his normal. Everyone had their issues. And yeah, his family came with a lot more than the standard bunch, but fuck it. It was just up to him to figure it out. It’s like a bouillon cube. If you pop it in your mouth, you’ll find it so salty and concentrated you can’t even swallow it. You need to add water to break up all its components- alter it, to find the “sweet spot”- that perfect balance of flavors. So, that’s what he figured he’d do. He’d dilute all those experiences down into something palatable.
But, actually, he’s realizing way too late that he’s a stock in a scalding hot pot. Heat was the culprit all along, messing up the flavors, concentrating and condensing them into something vile and inedible. Now the heat’s threatening to scald it to nothingness.
He’s tried a lot to control the stock from within, but that won’t move him from off the hot eye.
Therapy, he's guessing, is the only viable option.

Summary
He presses his back against the cold wall, feeling like he’s about to die. The panic attacks have gotten worse as well. They’re longer now, more difficult to control.
He doesn’t try to picture Sydney’s face, because if he does, he would see her like the night that she left. Angry, and sad, and disappointed.
Thinking about her doesn’t help anymore. It makes it even worse. And it’s his fucking fault.
