Best episode of the whole series. -the picture of Carmy and Chef Luca from Denmark was saying, without saying, that CARMEN is the chef that was so much better than Luca in the story Luca told Marcus.

Seeing Richie really understand that his best skill is being good with people, but also learning juuuust when to dial it back was so cute. He's really personable but he just loves talking to people so much and making them laugh that he kinda shoots himself in the foot. He'd be the kinda staff you would genuinely look forward to seeing cause you know he isn't putting anything on, he's just really excited and charismatic in his own weird Richie way.

The train drowning out Richie’s “I love you” is just…….my gosh. Absolute perfection.

nothing more beautiful than the trope of "man finds his purpose" executed god damn well. 10/10

I will go to my grave saying this is the best episode of The Bear. This episode made Richie one of the most sympathetic, empowering and redeemable characters in the whole show. The scene of him singing along to Love Story at the top of his lungs, intercut with him finally discovering his true purpose, is one of the most uplifting moments this show has managed to produce. After producing one of the single hardest episodes in all of television to watch, this episode is a relaxing soak in a bubble bath.

That scene in the car had me bawling my eyes out... I felt genuinely happy for Richie that he finally found a purpose, and thar he finally felt that he was going somewhere and what he brings to the table

What Lola said about people recieving kindness and ending up in a better place it's on point; one of the strongest messages of this series in my opinion

One of my all time favorite episodes. Pure perfection

I love the realization that Richie has in this episode where he realises that the restaurant they are opening is his all or nothing too, like if he wants to work the job he just worked, The Bear needs to become the best restaurant in the world, and he has the power to help it become that

This episode was one of the best episodes of television I've seen in a while, it's so heartwarming to watch a broken man who thought his life was basically already over realize that yes, he can pick up the pieces and start over, it's never too late. Also, surprise Olivia Colman is always a joy

I love that Richie found out what his strengths were. Richie and Tina both are older and felt sidelined. Last season, Tina dealt with her jealousy towards Syd and wanted to learn so in return, Syd and Carm got her training and Tina started prospering. This season Richie deals with wanting to find his purpose and it all gets explored here. Richie is really good with people in a way that elevates the restaurant. He became one of my favorite characters. I love that it ended on a high note given how sad the previous episode was.

Fishes and Forks is an incredible duo of episodes. The Bear really blew me away. Season 1 was brilliant and season 2 was somehow even better. I am so happy to hear it has been renewed and can't wait for Season 3.

Chef Terry (Olivia Colman) appears and then disappears magically like a mystical angel

Fun fact from a music fan: in ,,Love story“ is a key change, that means the tone and feeling of the Song Changes. They cut directly to the key change when richie drives his car through this alley to symbolise he changed. He feels different now

I like to believe that Olivia Coleman was especially cast for this because of her own experience in the industry. She has been such an inspiration for me because she didn't find her big break until she was older, and before she was a cleaning lady. Her life and chef's Terry story hammered home something so important to me. Is never later. Failure is never the destination. As long as we're alive... Every second counts.

Easily the best episode of the season. What a palate cleanser after the craziness that was Fishes.

My absolute favorite episode of this wonderful show. “Do not drop a check. I want to blow their fucking minds.” That made me cry. As a former waiter, that’s the shit that got me going. And Garrett’s speech on hospitality got me. Then Olivia Coleman?!? This show… 💜💜💜

Episode takes place in/is about the restaurant called Alinea in Lincoln Park, Chicago. All the stuff they mentioned about it are true (3 stars, waiting list, etc).

I don't know if you guys picked up on this, but when they showed the portrait of Carmy and Luca (Will Poulter) on the wall of the kitchen, that basically implied that the Carmy was the chef that Luca was telling Marcus about. the one that he could never keep up with

My favorite episode of the show so far.

I was BAWLING with love story and Richie singing his heart out.

Back to back AMAZING episodes, Season 2 of The Bear is insane

I love listening to your intelligent post episode conversation. It's my favorite part of your reactions.

When intro of 'Love story' comes out, can't hold my tears. It gets me every time. Love this show

My favorite episode of the show and one of my favorite episodes of TV, and I don't even think that's recency bias talking. This has reduced me to tears and helped me keep going more times than I count. Glad you guys loved it too!

I always get so emotional at the scene where the staff say they are gonna comp the schoolteachers meal after creeping their instagram.

This episode makes me think you guys would really really like Ted Lasso. As they say it's "Chicken soup for the soul."

I have always loved Richie. Man was just mourning and trying to be hip in S1 lmao.

Richie's story arc in the Bear is just so wonderful. He ended up being one of my favourite characters.

Have you seen Fleabag? If not, I think you would absolutely adore it. The show stars Olivia Colman and explores themes similar to those addressed in this show, but in a different way. Additionally, it is a short series, but it is perfect for what it sets out to achieve and is very entertaining.

My favourite episode of the series and one of the best episodes of television in recent memory.

*Another one of THE best episodes of the series....so far.*

I need one of those Bartlet sweaters

Take a shot every time Milena says "So excited about this. Honestly, couldn't be more excited," 😂across all vids on this channel. 😋

This season feels a bit like it took inspiration from the famous Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: “If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”

I have been waiting for y'all to get to this episode!! Thank you two 💙💙

EVERY SECOND COUNTS

The character development that can happen in one episode is impressive. Probably my favorite episode as of yet

I would not complain if Jessica ever came back, she was giving Richie some interesting looks and smiles😉. And she looks like she gets his sense of humour. Tho I don't know if they would have time for that lol.

One of my favourite episodes of tv of all time

You have over 5,000 patrons! 😮 You deserve at least 5,000 more. 🎉😊

I lit just went to Pequod’s pizza joint ! Deep dish is amazing tho their specialty is the crust which the “chef” didn’t include 😂

He's the chosen one

FINALLY!!!! the wait is over! So glad to see this pop up. Can't wait. The West Wing Sweatshirt: Chef's kiss! Beso.

Richie is the best boi

This was my favorite episode this whole season. I watched it twice lol

Seeing Richie happy makes me happy :)

This is one of the best episodes of tv I’ve seen in a long time

Olivia Kolman je fenomenalna u svakoj ulozi koju igra.

One of the best tv episodes of all time!

Richie has the beast development arc, ever. my best episode of this season.

I feel like season 1 was a more cohesive season to be honest.. like one of the best seasons of television I've ever seen. This second season is incredible too. It's hard to decide which was better for me though because season 2 had higher highs and lower lows than season 1. Like some bits were super good in their own way but not quite as impactful as season 1. And then parts like fishes and forks... just wow. Higher highs and lower lows. That sums it up for me. But ya, just being honest, I feel like season 1 was somehow more cohesive, but not necessarily better. I don't think season 2 is necessarily better than season 1 either though.. I could go back and forth for hours. I just love them both so much in their own way I guess.

Easily the episode that made me feel the most full at the credits. Team Richie for life!

I love this episode so much and I love how much you 2 loved it as well

Glorious purpose

Ah. My favorite episode. Ya'll made me tear up. Stop trying to melt my cold heart.

My fav episode of the season is this one, Richie is my favorite character

My favourite episode of the show. My favourite character

Everyone wants someone to believe in them and everyone needs to find their purpose. By far one of the best episodes in television

Time well spent. Spent is the verb, well is the adverb. Noun, adverb, verb.

Pure and relatable joy

Who knew Richie was a Swiftie

Yes

The single best episode of the series.

Loved that episode. So so good.

My favorite episode of the show

GIRL I BEGGGGG WHERE DID YOU GET THAT BARTLET SWEATSHIRT?!?!?!?!?!?

So funny that you guys were talking about Taylor Swift before the episode started. Way to go Richie!

thank god we got Forks after Fishes. This show is top 5 television for me

Best episode in the bear!

i love this react channel

I LOVE THIS EPISODE 😭

Does Lola watch The West Wing?

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!

The girl at the expo kinda looks like young Rachel Mcadams, or is it just me?

Peak TV!

yall should react to Gen V (The Boys spin-off / sequel)

Ebon moss bacrach, the actor that you areee!!!!

Six was the best episode but seven is my favorite.

Olivia Colman is my queen!!!

Yesss!! This episode is EVERYTHING!!! 😭😭😭😭 PLUS TAYLOR???

Hey! Quick question, will you guys be reacting to avatar the last airbender netflix trailer? It just dropped :)

Patiently waiting for Lord of the Rings…

Ladies, after this show it's time for your Jujutsu Kaisen journey.🙏🏻

you should watch Succession

You guys should watch and react to The Last of Us

Conspiracy theory about why I think they are able to score such top notch guest stars: I think maybe Matty Matheson (Fak) has opened up so many restaurants and have had so many celebrity customers over the years that he has a little black book of people that would gladly jump at anything he is involved in. He seems like he might be like the Richie character: Really charismatic and good with people.

Daredevil when?

Avatar trailer reaction pleaseee......

WTF? After 5 days of waiting I thought we would finally have an episode of The Wire. Denied again. :(

I never understood what’s to like about this agir of a show!!!!

“Richie walks down a hallway” What is this place? Oh my god, what’s happening? What does this mean? Oh no? Why is this happening? How does this connect to this? Like Jesus Christ. Just watch the show. You don’t need to ask 10 questions every 10 seconds
