The Bear is back, and it feels like hardly any time has passed. (Because hardly any time has passed.)

This week, Andrea and Jodie are talking through the first three episodes of the final season: the familiar reminder that if something can go wrong, it will; Carmy trying (and failing) to let go; Richie entering his maximization era; Marcus and Luca’s whole…vibe; Ebra being generally the best, and why, if you ask us, the Faks remain crucial to The Bear family ecosystem.

Plus, pipes, spoons, vampires, and Cheese.

We’ll be back next week to talk about episodes 4 - 6.
