Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Season 3 of The Bear!
The first filming of The Bear season 4 has just been released, but the new teaser may have spoiled the biggest suspense of The Bear season 3 finale. The Bear season 4 is set to be the series’ most dramatic season yet, with the finale of The Bear season three features many storylines and major character changes that will impact Carmy’s world forever. One of season three’s biggest reveals revolved around Sydney, and while many fans can’t wait to have their questions answered in The Bear Season 4, it may have already happened.
The Bear Season 3 was considered a disappointment by somebeing a little slower than in the previous two seasons. However, the moment The Bear The season 3 finale arrived, fans knew season 4 was coming, with season 3 being seen more as a bridge between seasons two and four. There has been speculation that The Bear Season 4 will be the final season of FX’s hit dramedy, and if that’s the case, this teaser’s big Sydney reveal carries even more weight.
Apparently Sydney is still working on Bear in Season 4
After Adam Shapiro’s Big Offer
Although the teaser for The Bear Season 4 only consists of a few scenes from the upcoming season, seemingly confirming that Sydney will still be working on The Bear in the new batch of episodes. One of the greatest stories The Bear The third season involved Sydney’s discussions with Adam Shapiro, the Chef de Cuisine at a prestigious restaurant called Ever. Adam is planning to open his own restaurant and after seeing Sydney’s work he offers her the CDC job at this new locationwith the position being much better than his role on The Bear.
The Bear season 3 ends with Sydney not having made her decision yet, creating the possibility that she will tell Carmy that she is leaving at the beginning of The Bear season 4. However, the season 4 teaser shows that Sydney is still happily working at The Bear, which means she might not be leaving. Sydney’s decision seemed like it had to be made immediately, so any sight of her still working at The Bear is a huge sign that she might stay. So, it’s possible that the Season 4 teaser was spoiled The BearSydney’s biggest revelation.
Why Sydney staying at Bear makes sense
She can’t leave her family behind
Although Sydney seems torn between staying at The Bear and working at Adam’s new restaurant, staying at The Bear makes more sense for her character. Yes, Sydney’s position at the new restaurant would be better paid, more prestigious, and would advance her career. However, Sydney dedicated her entire life to The Bearso leaving the restaurant behind would leave a huge emotional scar on the character.
As Donna says, the cast of characters who work at The Bear are Sydney’s true family and can’t be replaced at any other restaurant. Sydney can’t bear to leave Carmy, Richie, Tina, Marcus and the rest of the team behind, even if it means getting a better position in her career. While it makes logical sense for Sydney to go to Adam Shapiro’s restaurant, her heart won’t allow her to do so, which is possibly the reason why she remains at The Bear in season 4.
Sydney may still leave the bear in season 4
It would make sense for his character arc
While the teaser suggests that Sydney will still be working on The Bear at some point in Season 4, it’s unknown what episode this clip is from, meaning it could happen early in the season. It’s entirely possible that Sydney will still end up leaving The Bear at the end of Season 4, making up for the Season 3 setup. It is doubtful that The Bear Season 4’s marketing campaign would completely ruin one of the show’s biggest storiesso there’s likely more to this story.
Separating Carmy and Sydney makes sense if The Bear season 4 is actually the final season of the series, setting up a sad future for Sydney and The Bear. It would be completely believable for Sydney’s job offer to make Carmy explode, with him pushing her away like he so often does. However, there are all kinds of possibilities for how this story could play out, making it impossible to predict Sydney’s arc until The Bear season 4 comes out.
