'The Bear' Season 4 Theories: Will Carmy and Claire Get Back Together?

It’s almost time for The Bear to return after a year of break with its fourth season, and it’s not Carmy and his team’s future actions towards their restaurant’s success that concern the show’s fans the most.

Not only the previous instalment ended on a major cliffhanger suggesting there’s more trouble for Carmy’s professional path ahead after a scathing Chicago Tribune review, but it also made things even more complicated between Jeremy Allen White’s melancholic character and his on-and-off girlfriend Claire.

So far, the answer might not arrive until The Bear’s season 4 finale, but the show’s fans have already dwelled on some of the most probable outcomes.

Carmy and Claire Will Be Together Because Claire Is There For Something

As many fans keep hope that the characters will eventually come through the ongoing crisis, some figured there’s no other reason for Claire to be in the show at all except for being there for Carmy.

“They're definitely getting back together. That's the only thing I'm sure about. It makes the most sense as to why she's still in the show atp, given she and Carmy don't interact at all in Season 3. I doubt the writers are keeping her around just for an apology. They'll get back together, but it won't end well”, Redditor Key-Escape3202 revealed in a series-related thread.

Carmy and Claire Will Be Together Because Only Claire Can Save Carmy

At the point where The Bear’s season 3 left its viewers, it might be true that Carmy has no one else to turn to, considering his tense relationship with the rest of his family and the longing stress that his entire team is experiencing right now.

With that in mind, some fans also suggested that Claire’s role will get even bigger in the upcoming fourth season, since she’s the only one that Carmy trusts entirely.

“Claire comes back and saves carmy who turns it around and gets a star”, Adventurous_Click599 predicted. “Claire will come back to comfort Carm or sum around those corners”, Away_Month_3205 added.

Carmy and Claire Won’t Be Together Because Carmy Needs Therapy

With some fans remaining on different sides about possible positive or negative outcomes of Camry and Claire’s drama, others preferred to address the matter in a more mature and modern way, suggesting that Carmy definitely needs to deal with his mental health issues before continuing things with Claire.

“Carmy goes to one-on-one therapy. I am pretty sure Carmy has cPTSD, but also PTSD from the more recent abuse he faced from chef David. Also, he probably has abandonment issues from not having his dad & then being pushed away by Mikey”, FSHS91 predicted.

Carmy and Claire Won’t Be Together Because Carmy Isn’t in the Right Place Yet

Continuing the idea that Jeremy Allen White’s character needs to take care of himself before committing to someone, other fans also reflected on a possibility that Carmy and Claire’s decision to get back together just doesn’t make any sense — mostly because it will go down the drain again because of Carmy.

“I feel like most people are counting on them to reconcile, which is exactly why they probably won't. Or if they do it'll be short lived b/c Carmy will blow it again like he always does. It's too happy of a conclusion to a season that's already supposed to be "joyful" and happier or whatever, like it's got to be bittersweet somewhere and I feel like this plotline is where it'll come from. Whatever, she deserves better anyway”, Due_Passenger3210 chimed in.

When Will ‘The Bear’ Season 4 Be Released?

The show’s fourth season will become available for streaming on Hulu on June 25.
