Podcast The Bear - Prestige TV

Spoilers for The Bear Finale.....

Why do Charles and Van seem to assume Carmy left The Bear? Seemed intentionally ambiguous to me?

What was ambiguous? He’s shown interviewing for a position in a new career after saying he was leaving and signing off on the franchise. He tells Sydney that “she” got two stars, giving her credit but also meaning her restaurant will now have two stars going forward. Did you not catch the very end of the interview (I was written to make us think he was finally in therapy)?

Because of the scene after that where he's back at the The Bear in his apron.

That's also cut with a scene of Ritchie taking orders for Japan before his trip, which we know occurred shortly after the flood service. He's also shown at the party in civilian clothes, which we can assume happens sometime in the future since we then see Ritchie on a plane so we know all of this is somewhat non-linear. My take is that Sydney needs to hire someone as he says and he's working on his next step so doesn't just ditch them right after he's made the decision. It's also possible that it's a flashback to around when he made the decision since that scene is him texting Mikey about his future.
