Same here. It's absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking.

I read somewhere that the reason why the money were in the cans was because Mikey already decided to k*ll himself. He didnt want to leave the money in a bank so that there wont be any taxes/deductions/whatever its called. He wanted Carmy to have the restaurant and he trusts that Carmy will do the right thing. That's why the final shot of this episode was him smirking telling Carmy "I got you bud". Also, the scene when it was revealed that Bernthal was Mikey, they were making the Braciole dish, and it's a subtle demonstration that Mikey always starts things and he let's Carmy finish it. Just like him starting the Beef and leaving it to Carmy to become the Bear.

@Frangus_

3 ай бұрын

In a vaccume i would say Fishes is better but for pushing the story forward and in terms of character growth then i agree with Forks.

"Family" or "Family Meal" is the dinner the kitchen staff will make for themselves and eat before service starts. Its usually not something from the menu and is often just good home cooking/comfort food stuff over anything Michelin level.

It's so true about eating out at cheap places but it feels special. Our family was dirt poor and sometimes we lived off of government cheese and such. Sometimes our parents would go dumpster diving for food when money was really short otherwise none of us would eat. But once in a while, our treat would be going to White Castle and just being together in Dad's Station Wagon and enjoying a meal together.

You guys are gonna love S2.

One of the best seasons of television I’ve ever watched. So much commentary on family, grief, mental health, and how we all need each other to cope. So so good.

As a fan of Shameless, I'm so glad to see the world acknowledging and giving love to Jeremy Allen White. He's so talented and deserves the success he's getting.

Kudos for getting through season 1! Tidbits about the episode: *Episode 1 ended with Carmy throwing away a spaghetti sauce can. Yes it’s been confirmed Carmy threw away a few thousand dollars when that happened. *Mikey’s voice echoes in earlier episodes. You hear it this episode as well when Carmy’s waking up from his nightmare. The words “Let It Rip” were in the whispers in this episode and a prior episode before Carmy reveals its significance. *A can seamer can apparently be seen in the background earlier in the season. You also see it in the season 2 premiere but only in the background, it’s never emphasized in the show to explain things. So Mikey did the sealing of the money himself. What KBL is will be explained very soon. *Ritchie’s ex-wife’s voice is someone you’ll recognize. It’ll be confirmed next season who the voice is though so I’ll leave it a secret. *Forgot to mention this. It’s not the clearest explanation, but “The Bear” name comes from Carmy’s last name, Berzatto. This episode has Ritchie call Mikey Mikey-Bear revealing it’s a nickname for all the family members, not just one exclusive to Carmy.

@robertdelossantos5844

@@rmvdhaakdid some research on this. Think you’re right. What probably happened is Mikey opened tomato sauce cans, kept the labels, and sealed the money in new cans and put the labels back on. I mean, it’s tv magic so the explanation is just something to live with anyways, like the idea that no one opened the cans with the money after Mikey died. Even if Carmy 86’d the spaghetti, you’d think someone would’ve opened a can in the interim between Mikey’s death and Carmy taking over the store which according to the show, there was a big gap. Plus it’d be odd to not use tomato sauce in other items other than the spaghetti, even if there were apparently different sized cans that could have been used instead.

Cant wait for season 2...it is somehow more stressful and more heart string pulling.

If you remember, the first episode ended with Carmy going to make the Family Spaghetti, but after he opens the tomato can, he throws it out 😮 Edit: I would like to address why the first tomato can being tossed out in episode one matters. It is an excellent example of how trauma and dysfunction set you back. The lost money may have been recouped by other means, but it doesn't change all the time that was lost from turning The Beef into The Bear. One of the biggest themes I have found in The Bear is how dysfunction makes life harder. Life isn't impossible. They did discover the money, but it took months. Whereas if Carmy hadn't resented that recipe and finished making it, he would have found the money a lot sooner and most of the tension and situations in the rest of the season would have gone very differently or not happen at all. The money may not have fixed everything in everyone's lives, but it certainly would have helped. The canned money is just one aspect the show uses to highlight how trauma affects people. And I just adore the can revelation. I hope that clears up why I wanted to leave a comment about the cans at all.

god what an incredible finale

The way I said “Robin Williams” 2 seconds before Calvin did! He is always my example for “some times the funniest, seemingly happiest people, are honestly going through the most depression” ❤😢

Yeah we can conclude this money was "borrowed" from three mobsters, one of which was Cicero, originally to be laundered. Had Mikey stayed alive, they surely would not let him keep the money. At least that must have been how Mikey thought it would work, because in end they still passed the debt onto Carmie anyway.

Yea the way I interpret Michael's intentions is he thinks Cicero would forgive the debt. He took out this loan from Cicero, knowing he would hide it for Carmi. Maybe he think this is a way to gift his brother the money to build his restaurant debt-free, not realizing Cicero will just hold the restaurant/family responsible for the debt, and regardless of what Carmi does with the funds, they'll still owe Cicero the money back for the loan. So, good intentions from Mikey, but not a good understanding of how the debt would work. There's also other theories out there, I don't know if we'll ever get concrete answers with Mikey gone. But a point that is often brought up, and important to remember, is that Mikey was a drug addict and using. It's very likely that he just wasn't thinking very clearly, regardless of his intentions. It made sense to him, for whatever reason, to hide the money in the cans for Carmi.

Do you understand that Jon Bernthal is THAT good? He appeared in like 2 episodes and we freaking love him as Michael as if he was a regular character. Gosh, I love him. Can't wait for you guys to watch THAT episode in S2 🤭

That speech... that scene... this show... is the chefs kiss of everything that makes something stellar. ❤ that opening is heartbreakingly honest.

I knew the crew would love this show, it's impossible not to. They're so empathetic and have such attention to detail that I knew they would appreciate how meticulously-crafted it is. Detective Calvin is already in the zone, and Aaron is on his game as well.

They explain the cans next season. There is canning gear in the basement.

The emotions run deep with this one. Carmy's monolog, the letter, and especially the ending. I'm still not ok😂😂😂

Fun Fact. Yesterday's Cubbies day game (4-20) Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Richie) and Matty Matheson (Neil) led "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" for the 7th Inning stretch. Was epic!

Truly one of my favorite episodes in all of television - absolute chills every time.

Good news is they are just in time to react Season 3 of the Bear in June❤ Can’t wait!!

Do you realize that in the first episode Richie wanted Carmie to make the spaghetti, and he refused and threw away a can of tomatoes after he opened it?!?! They could have found that money in Ep. 1!!!!

I always wondered what the point was of leaving the money for Mikey, since now he just got back the money he owed Cicero. My theory, and probably what the show is trying to convey, is that Mikey was hoping the debt would be forgiven when he died, instead of Cicero passing it on to Carmen

wooo!
