Opening with serious scenes of pursuing excellence with Coach K and ginormous shrimp (prawns?). Tiny serious notes are being scribbled into tiny serious notebooks.

Ok…it’s been a while, fam. Where are we on this mostly-pleasant-but-at-times-excrutiating Bear journey of ours, eh? I’m numbering these bad boys, so feel free to go back and refresh, but, to bring us all up to speed….

“I wear suits now”. Yeah, we heard.

The restaurant is still closed, transitioning from Beef to Bear, so we’re still in the side projects zone. Lots of scenes in different places than we’re used to seeing in these episodes. Fun, fun!

Richie is doing a stage and it’s, of course, an existential nightmare for him right from the get-go. Just show up and do what you’re told, cousin. It’s not that friggin’ hard. Be mostly quiet and not in the way but make yourself helpful when opportunity presents. Try not to overthink or glitch out. Don’t be needy.
