    Summary

    They’re having Nat and Pete over for dinner tonight, probably the most adult thing they’ve ever done as a couple, and it’s got Sydney wound up to the nines. Carmy’s been trying to insist that it’s not as big a deal as she’s making it out to be but he’s been met with resolute disagreement at every turn. She wants this to be perfect- because they’ve been dating for almost six months now and it’s serious and this is a serious thing that serious couples do. Because this is the first time Nat and Pete are seeing them as Syd & Carmy, the couple. Sharing an apartment and cooking a meal and being together in a way that doesn’t revolve around The Bear. This is new territory, Sydney insists.
    If you ask Carmy, it’s just his sister and her husband coming over to eat chicken alfredo.

    But he’s trying to be supportive, despite what Sydney might think about the pack of Marlboros tucked in his jeans. He’s got the nicotine gum in his back pocket to prove that he’s quitting, changing, trying- and that’s got to be worth something.
