Who Is Francie & Why She Had Bad Blood With Natalie in ‘The Bear’ Season 4, Explained
More details about Natalie’s feud with a Fak family member weren’t revealed until late episodes of The Bear’s season 4 — alongside the mysterious character portrayed by Academy Award winner Brie Larson.
With the already traditional kitchen chaos unfolding amidst the team’s attempts to get a Michelin star, The Bear’s brand new fourth season has also arrived with more family mess, this time somehow concerning both the Berzattos and the Faks.
Particularly, the feud between Carmy’s sister Natalie and at the time unknown Fak family member has been probably the biggest mystery of the new season’s first part, later getting more intriguing details as it’s revealed that Marvel’s actress Brie Larson took on the role of mysterious Francie.
Despite the two making peace before everyone knows the whole truth, there might be enough details to know for sure what happened between Natalie and Francie — here’s everything we know.

It’s fair to say that the two were kind of best friends before their relationship fell apart, considering how painfully Natalie reacts to whatever mention of Francie that the latter’s brother Neil makes.
It’s also implied that some time has passed since Natalie and Francie had a fight, though the former makes several attempts to text her ex-bestie, but then deletes the messages.
Things aren’t getting any clearer until the two have their first encounter in years at Tiffany and Frank’s wedding. Soon after Natalie starts yet another fight, saying that the whole thing happened at a house that wasn’t even Francie’s and thus hinting that they had actually fallen apart at some house party.

No, after the two are interrupted by Pete and Ted, Natalie finds Francie at one of the tables and reveals she still misses her.
Francie replies that she does feel the same way. After all, they both decide their friendship is worth trying and hug each other, promising that they won’t screw each other over again.

So far, the show hasn’t been renewed for a fifth season, though things might be complicated for another instalment after all.
The fourth season ends on a major cliffhanger suggesting Jeremy Allen White’s Carmy might be stepping down as The Bear’s chef anytime soon.
It’s not yet clear what the series’ future will be like, though there’s still a possibility for this cliffhanger to be The Bear’s most definite finale.
