For the final season of “The Bear,” the official synopsis from FX states: “The fifth and final season of FX’s ‘The Bear’ picks up the morning after Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri), Richard ‘Richie’ Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Natalie ‘Sugar’ Berzatto (Abby Elliott) discover that Head Chef Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) has quit the food industry, leaving the restaurant to them. With no money, the threat of a sale, and a torrential storm in their way, the new partners must band together with the rest of the team to achieve one last service, hoping they’ll finally earn a Michelin star.
