Sandwiched between two bottle episodes, “The Legacy” puts Sydney on the spot — will she take Shapiro’s offer to become Chef de Cuisine at his new joint, or will she finally sign the partnership agreement and fully commit to the Bear.

Tom and Kevin debate what Sydney will — and should — do. They also lament that the show’s shot selection, opting for more scenes of the Fak’s brother esoteric and unfunny shtick over more dramatic beats that heighten conflict and deepen characters.

Tom enjoyed “Ice Chips” and the interplay between Natalie and Donna on the verge of delivering her firstborn into the world.

Kevin appreciated the stage play, but wonders how much the series can devote to deep dives between supporting characters before losing the central thread.
