'The Bear' Offers Apologies

It’s hard to know what’s scarier: the past or the future. In this fourth season of The Bear, we’ve seen characters go back and forth on this question. Some are gripped by anxiety about days gone by. Sugar (Abby Elliott) can’t get over an unspecified beef with her former best friend; Donna Berzatto (Jamie Lee Curtis) can’t get over the loss of her beloved son Mikey, and the role her anger and alcoholism might have played in his eventual breakdown; and of course Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), in a new, disarmingly reflective mood, can’t stop saying “I’m sorry” to everybody he meets for all of his past misdeeds.
