Sydney is unavailable right now, please try again later 🙃

This is the most stress inducing episode in tv history, it was only 20 minutes but felt like it was 2 hours.

Always love how when he's kneeling down to cool off, he taste's Marcus's donut that he threw on the ground in anger, realizes it's good, and gets mad at himself for lashing out.

my stomach dropped when marcus went up to carmy with the donut i was begging him to walk away 😭😭😭😭

I really love Marcus and frankly everyone who doesn't. and yet, I found myself screaming at him when he went up to Carmy with the donut. Bro, not the freaking time for this

Sydney saying "This isn't on me" is exactly why Carmy was not in the wrong.

You know what’s crazy? Sydney still hasn’t apologized to Richie for STABBING him 😂😂😂

She genuinely took no responsibility.

I have no sympathy for anyone that quits a kitchen during a rush. If you know, you know.

Bump that, Marcus deserved the outburst. Donuts my dude? We need cake fam.

It’s so so interesting because I’m always on the fence with Marcus’s behaviour in this scene. On the one hand - his whole character arc has basically revolved around this donut and us as viewers are happy to see him have perfected it. On the other hand, the kitchen is falling apart and everyone needed at that moment to pull together to fulfil their jobs. Marcus could probably tell from the angry screams how much stress Carmy was under - and from how annoyed Syd was when he hadn’t even attempted to start cutting the cakes, which, let’s face it - is what he’s getting paid to do. So whilst I agree it was nasty of Carmy to throw his donut on the floor, I completely understand why he did it. You’re under extreme stress and someone presents you with something you just don’t need in that moment. Ultimately, I don’t think Marcus was as justified storming out as Sydney because at least Sydney was doing (or attempting to do) her job.

> walks in

Syd delivered a meal that wasn't even on the menu to a food critic, which caused a massive influx of orders (pre-orders, which SHE forgot to turn off) then leaves. Carmy is literally only yelling since they're up shit's creek and Syd snapped the paddle over her knee

For any aspiring cooks who want to work in a kitchen - if you stab someone, abandon your brigade, slam your boss, quit your job, and take zero ownership of your actions, don't expect to get an apology and an offer to rejoin the team a few days later.

She said “this isn’t on me” like it wasn’t her fault to begin with. She is the reason why all of that chaos happened

Remember people, this whole show delves into the minds of our characters, showing the juxtaposition between action and thought. Carmy wanted a kitchen full of order and respect, but cracked under the pressure and let his anger lash out. Sydney was skilled and a natural leader, but let her vanity blind her. Alot of this episodes problems started with her mistakes. She didn't listen to her boss and these are the consequences. Marcus was a baking genius and was on the cusp of a breakthrough, but let his success narrow his focus. In the end, he couldn't see the chaos he played a part in by not doing his job. I could go on but the point is we've learned how these characters think, and in the heat of the moment, flaws tend to become prominent. And sometimes, that's what it means to be human.

Cant get over the writers adding the detail of carmy going back to marcus's donut and eating it off the floor . Just perfect

I cannot TELL you how many times I've wanted to do that to a chit printer. With a 1000 seat restaurant, servers ringing in their entire sections all at once and hostesses just waving everyone through the door non-stop, the printer would start at 11am and wouldn't stop for 9 hours, spitting out a new table's orders every 3 seconds. This scene captures the energy of those days absolutely perfectly. I hate it lol

Im sorry but Marcus 100% deserved that yell from Carmy. They’re about to get slammed and this guy pulls up with his donut not doing what he’s suppose to do. I know this is show, just pointing an observation.

Sydney and Marcus behaviour was so childish! Sydney was the reason for the chaos and yet she left the place instead of taking responsibility for the situation. Marcus was so obsessed with his doughnut that he separated himself completely from the rest of the crew. They both got a chance to do what they wanted and betrayed the person who gave them the chance. So frustrating to watch!
