ALERT: This article includes spoilers from Season 3, Episode 2 of The Bear.

The Bear season 3, episode 2 is named The Speaker of Grammarians, and in it, we learn that Sydney will not become a formal business owner of the restaurant she has been developing with Carmy. Contrary to what one might have thought last season, it is not the case that she would join as a partner; she is told that she must sign documents to set up her position.

When interviewed by Deadline, Ayo Edebiri said Sydney just like the viewer was not sure how she fit into the restaurant project. Last season ended on an open note, and this vagueness has been extended into the new season for Sydney and the show’s viewers as to her position in The Bear together with other employees at Carmy, Natalie, and Uncle Jimmy.

Sydney's complex relationship with Carmy explored in season 3 of The Bear

Sydney the character portrayed by Ayo Edebiri has a complicated relationship with Carmy in The Bear. She explicitly elaborates how Carmy’s body language and verbal expressions make her suspicious of his motives even when he assures her of the partnership they both have in the business of the restaurant. Edebiri goes on to say that Sydney is always craving Carmy’s approval, but since he is somewhat awkward in the way he communicates his feelings it makes things more difficult. As for me, she mulls a lot over his actions and listens willingly to his offers and his manifestations as if she feels that such cordiality can belie his intentions.
