Another thing- Ayo knows that we know how meta this show is, and we began to really notice it in season 3. I believe Ayo when she says that the love between Sydney and Carmy will lead to the creation of a completely different show.

But remember that we view The Bear as a show set within the context of a restaurant and often they talk about the restaurant being different. And they're trying to figure out what difference would make the place good.

What's said by the actors/characters about the struggle and positives of the show? Reviews reported that three different restaurants three different seasons of the show. Everyone seems to agree that each season is unlike the last; it's a different show altogether. We hear feedback from customers (the viewers) who express that they don't like the chaos and find it elitist and lastly, there is certainly a lot of energy behind the kitchen and between Sydney and Carmy as Richie or I'm sorry- Chris says- in the episode Doors..

All meta- including the question on whether or not they should stay open. The computer tells us just how they should stay open, for the show to keep going and it is -create something new and drastic.

Different, change, and drastic like a different show, something unexpected as Computer describes... perhaps a love story?

More meta about the show or restaurants needing to be different to go on:

Richie in Season 1, reminds us that the building—and the show—have a shared history of tradition and love that he believes keeps the place going.

Our observant director Richie has also hinted at this different kind of story since season 2 by choosing out of all the Taylor Swift songs, he celebrates his growth and overcoming being stuck by belting out it's a love story.

And season 4, Richie feels as alone and stuck as he did at the beginning of season 2, and diminishes the love that once existed within the building. Instead, he says love shouldn't be said by any of the actors/characters.

The restaurant has transformed from a family-run establishment into just a workplace. Even though Richie knows every guest or viewer should be treated like family, that's what makes the place different, but has he figured out just how to make the viewers/guests of the bear feel the unique vibe that captures the bear?

I beleive that the director and writer Chris Storer is still playing with the humor of romantic irony by Richie playing clueless on just what would make this show a home run, perfect, which is- a different story one that is distinct from all the other workplace shows and restaurants that are in the business of bringing joy to others.

A different show- Carmy our main character envisioned a different restaurant outside form the world of the beef in season 1 a series where nurturing, caring, celebration, and happiness are centered.

-Different, peaceful, good food, but also perceiving the signature chaos that Richie describes as a vibe. .

So it is a different kind of story that needs to happen for this show to work and it has to figuratively burn down and be made into a different kind of story to keep the show's legacy going.

So I've concluded that Ayo tells the truth through jokes and really means the restaurant show will burn down and become a different genre once they're endgame.

Thanks for the spoiler, and this quote Ayo!

You know, I think this place could be so different from all the other places we've been at. But, in order for that to be true, we need to run things different.

Syd's the light y’all

Is it normal to be this happy our shayla is finally seen smiling?

I strongly believe she's talking to Richie here because that gesture is a call back to F&F night when Richie did the Uncle Jimmy surprise.

I wonder what context this is though and it's driving me crazy. She looks like she's literally letting in the light/about to walk out into the light and the either or of this is fucking me up for some reason.

Maybe it's the a**holes posting about sydcarmy "death fics" getting me paranoid. 😠

Anyway this show is not good for my mental health. 😞😅

Oh just though about what the context might be if this is Syd and Richie. It might be that they planned a surprise birthday for Eva who talked about her birthday coming up in a month and requested a hundred candles.

Maybe she's in Richie's apartment where they are planning and decorating for the surprise.

So I came across this post on Twitter

and some of the replies got me digging into my skin in absolute rage

This is a movie about assault!

SEXUAL ASSAULT!!!

I repeat, SEXUAL ASSAULT!!!!!!!!!!

And the subject of the "undesirability" of the black female is still brought into it. Comments talking about how it's nothing but propaganda. As if sexual violence against black women is not a tale as old as time.

And, mind you, this is the unattractive woman in question

So tell me why I would ever believe that the pushback against sydcarmy is anything but racism??? It's racism pure and simple.

When they wax lyrical and talk about how it would ruin the beautiful, complicated, deep, shmeep, dreep, yada yada...

they're just saying they don't want to see a black woman being the desirable in a space that is usually reserved for white women. And there's no nuance you could put into it to convince me otherwise.
