After Seeing What Happened Between Carmy And His Mom In Season 4 Of 'The Bear,' I Hope Abby Elliott’s Dream For The Berzattos Comes True

Spoilers for Season 4 of "The Bear" are ahead! If you are not caught up, you can stream the series with a Hulu subscription.

Before the new season of "The Bear" premiered on the 2025 TV schedule, I was thinking a lot about the episode “Ice Chips.” In that memorable Season 3 installment, we saw Abby Elliott’s Sugar and her mom, Donna (Jamie Lee Curtis), reconcile, and they began to repair their relationship. So, going into Season 4, I wanted the same thing for Carmy. Now, after watching that happen on screen, I’m reflecting back on Elliott’s dream for the Berzattos.

Now, before I watched all of "The Bear’s" fourth season, I had the chance to interview Abby Elliott. We talked a lot about her big episode from last season, the aforementioned “Ice Chips,” and how it changed Sugar’s life and relationship with her mom. I also asked if she could ever see that kind of healing in the cards for Carmy and their mother.
