Christopher Storer and FX are keeping their final serving of The Bear close to the apron. While critics and journalists did receive early screener access for the first seven episodes of the show’s final season, we did not get its grand finale, episode 508. So when season five premieres in its entirety (on Hulu, not on linear FX) tonight, to some extent, we’re all in this final dinner service together.
Always looking for a leg up, I asked stars Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach to tell me exactly what happens in the last episode. With five seasons of Disney media training under their belts, the trio didn’t flinch. So I asked them what the finale episode is not.
There are no funerals, Edebiri said, and there’s “no Red Wedding,” referring to the iconic ninth episode of season three of Game of Thrones. (It was actually titled “The Rains of Castamere,” but is colloquially referred to as the Red Wedding for its bloodbath.) Notice how Edebiri didn’t just say no wedding period — you out there, Claire Bear? (Molly Gordon, who plays Carmy’s ex-girlfriend, is not in the batch of screeners we received.)
“It wasn’t all a dream,” Moss-Bachrach offered. So no Newhart ending.
