Sydney and Carmy clash as pressure mounts in the kitchen

After a rocky but promising opening in season 3, the new episodes find chef Carmy Berzatto and sous chef Sydney Adamu navigating the emotional and professional fallout of a high-profile restaurant review. The rating remains a mystery, but its impact is felt across the kitchen. Carmy must also reckon with the toll his perfectionism takes on the team, as Sydney contemplates a major career move: staying on as his partner or taking a more stable offer elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Richie is increasingly stepping up, hinting at more personal growth after his standout arc at the fine-dining restaurant Ever. Tensions with investor Uncle Jimmy resurface, and family dynamics, especially involving Carmy’s mother Donna, complicate things even further.
