‘The Bear’ Season 2’s penultimate episode is a who’s who of Hollywood, including an Oscar-winning actress, A-list comedian, ‘Breaking Bad’ alum, and Ryan Murphy’s muse
— could distract from the family drama raging within it. But the casting feels essential, rather than like a stunt, because we are meant to be thrown into the extended family deep end.
The season as a whole does a remarkable job of giving every minor character at least one moment to shine. A great example of that approach happens here, as Natalie’s husband Pete — earnest, eager-to-please, perpetually baffled by the hot-tempered family he for some reason married into — tries desperately to convince his mother-in-law to come inside.
After Claire leaves, the repair guy finally comes to free Carmy from his refrigerated prison. As Carmy flashes back on good times with Claire, we see sparks begin to float through the walk-in, a byproduct of the repairman’s power saw cutting through the door. It is an incredible shot, at once beautiful and sad, as if the sparks are fireworks celebrating a big event that has been utterly poisoned for Carmy.
For all that Carmy finds lacking in himself, so much of this year was about demonstrating the ways that he and/or Sydney have lifted up the people they care about. Natalie has an excuse to get out of the house and prove she could run the business, even while increasingly pregnant. Marcus gets that endearing interlude in Denmark, and when he tells Carmy that his new Copenhagen-inspired dessert would be called “The Michael,” you’d have to be made of stone to not get at least a little misty.
