The Bear’s first episode of it’s third season, “Tomorrow,” is particularly striking. Almost dialogue-free, the episode follows Carm, played by Jeremy Allen White (The Iron Claw, Shameless), as he prepares for the opening of his new restaurant. The episode is almost meditative, flashing with scenes of foundational moments in Carm’s life. Different members of the cast gave their thoughts about the series to The Hollywood Reporter.

“It felt like walking around in somebody’s mind,” White told The Hollywood Reporter. “It felt very fresh and new. It felt very exciting in its structure and style. It felt different, while also being very much at the heart of the same tone as the show.”

Abby Elliot (How I Met Your Mother, Odd One Out), the actress who plays Carm’s sister Sugar, touches on the episode’s scenes of Carm leaving Sugar, also known as Natalie, at the airport to travel to New York.

“Sugar is so desperate for Carmy to stay and not abandon her,” she explained to The Hollywood Reporter “That level of abandonment, which I knew was always there … she missed her brother so much, starting in episode one — but there’s this level of: He’s really leaving me here with these people. She loves Mikey (Jon Bernthal), but she’s seeing his spiral [which leads to his death by suicide]. It’s very apparent she’s just going to call him and call him and he might not pick up — and she knows that, and that’s so scary for her. The fear is a new thing for Natalie.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, White elaborated that Carm was so caught up in his own life that he didn’t stop to consider Nat’s feelings.

“He has a hard time communicating,” he said. “He has a hard time understanding other people’s experiences. I don’t think at all times, or at any time really, he’s meaning to be hurtful in the way he exists. But I do think in this season, there is this realization, specifically with Sugar and Carm, that they did have this shared experience. They grew up in the same place. Carmy ran, and Sugar stayed. Carmy is starting to make room for others’ experiences and really see and listen to other people for the first time.”
