S4:EP1 Episode 1

In a flashback opening scene, Mikey and Carmy cook together. Mikey gripes about Carmy using “too much garlic,” and as he jokes, Led Zeppelin’s mellow “That’s the Way” plays in the background, setting a nostalgic, easygoing tone despite their teasing banter.

Carmy and Mikey’s kitchen conversation is humorously underscored by Sonny & Cher’s “I Got You, Babe.” The song plays on a TV in the background (a nod to Groundhog Day) as Mikey cheerfully remarks “We could play good music” in their dream restaurant. The iconic chorus kicks in on the TV – “I got you, babe” – just as their dad’s old video ends, eliciting a sigh from Carmy.

After a tense exchange with Claire, Carmy is left standing alone in the kitchen. As Claire’s footsteps depart, “Getting in Tune” by The Who starts playing on the radio. The lyric “I’m in tune, right in on you…” swells while Carmy exhales and attempts to compose himself amid the empty, quiet chaos of The Bear.

S4:EP2 Episode 2

After Richie sighs that “today is tomorrow,” a somber cue from Rocco and His Brothers seeps through the empty restaurant. Carmy broods alone while an old Western flickers on the TV, the mournful strings echoing his insomnia and the battered calm of 3 a.m. cleanup.

Talk Talk’s optimistic synth groove scores Sweeps’ wine-bar meeting with a Chicago sommelier. As she learns the Pinot-with-mushrooms mantra—“if it grows together, it goes together”—the lyric’s message underlines her resolve to make the ever-changing menu work.

Bryan Ferry’s swagger kicks in as Richie rallies the front-of-house: they “need this star” from the secret Tribune critic. Strutting between tables, he underlines “need” while staff plot decoys—art-rock bravado for a Michelin-level pep-talk.

Dylan’s reflective ballad underscores Carmy’s late-night call to Nat. He apologizes for missing baby Sophie and frets over menu changes; Nat reassures him he deserves happiness even if his passion for cooking fades, the weary harmonica mirroring their tenderness.

The Pretenders roar as dinner service hits overdrive: “Doors!” echoes, tickets fly, pans clang and Richie’s pep-talk ends in a kinetic montage of plates leaving the pass—adrenaline-soaked proof the crew can still crush a peak rush.

S4:EP3 Episode 3

Opening montage: Sydney cooking up a new dish.

Richie hops on the phone with Tiff, ranting about mums and weddings.

Van Morrison’s somber folk-blues track (from Astral Weeks, 1968) plays during a mid-episode sequence at The Bear. As the kitchen preps strawberry panna cotta for dessert, a potential investor/consultant reviews the restaurant’s first-month sales and mixed reviews. The melancholic melody lingers under dialogue about “ambitious hypotheticals” and a critical newspaper article. The song’s weary tone underscores the tension and uncertainty in the air, reflecting the pressure on Carmy’s team to prove their new venture’s worth.

Dinner Rush Montage: This soulful 1975 Dion ballad (produced by Phil Spector) scores a busy dinner service montage. As order tickets pile up and chefs call out “behind!” and “hands!,” Carmy’s mind wanders to Claire, whom he hasn’t heard from. Meanwhile, Richie, thriving in his front-of-house role, energizes the dining room by surprising a table of out-of-towners with an off-menu taste of the old Original Beef, prompting cheers. The song’s wistful lyrics – “I wanna see something that used to be in your eyes again…” – underline Carmy’s longing for happier times even as the restaurant bustles, and a guest praises “the excellent vibe you create” in the room.

Carmy Searches for Claire: As service winds down, Carmy grows increasingly anxious about Claire’s absence. This brooding 1985 post-punk track kicks in while Carmy runs through the night to Claire’s apartment. The music continues as he arrives and confronts Claire’s pajama-clad roommate Ted, discovering that Claire isn’t there. The song’s gothic atmosphere and refrain “the word that would best describe this feeling…would be haunted” echo Carmy’s mental state – he’s haunted by the fear that he’s lost Claire. The dramatic swell of “Haunted…” heightens the tension in this awkward, emotional scene and carries into the silence after Carmy leaves empty-handed.

In the car.

S4:EP4 Episode 4

Shapiro blasts this East Coast hip-hop classic as Sydney enters his new restaurant space. The loud, upbeat track plays on speakers in the background, hyping the scene’s energy and highlighting Shapiro’s attempt to impress Sydney with a “classic” vibe. This song is used as background source music in the scene, setting an energetic, braggadocious tone.

Sydney deliberately cues Beethoven’s “Für Elise” on the sound system after Shapiro stops his track. The gentle classical piano melody plays over the speakers, instantly calming the room and humorously undercutting Shapiro’s prior music choice. Used as background source music, this piece brings a refined, ironic tone to the scene, reflecting Sydney’s own taste and asserting her control of the ambience.

A smooth R&B song featuring Ari Lennox plays softly while Sydney’s hair stylist works. “STUCK.” sets a laid-back, soulful mood as background music on the salon’s speakers. Its mellow groove underscores the casual, friendly atmosphere—playing through phone interruptions and chit-chat—without drawing focus away from the conversation.

This vintage psychedelic soul tune plays in the background while Sydney and TJ walking outside.

Another contemporary track picks up in the salon after a brief pause. The upbeat pop/R&B song “You Got Me Like” plays as background music over the salon speakers. Its catchy rhythm and youthful vibe keep the scene light as Sydney waits for her stylist, though it stays low enough to not overpower the ongoing chatter.

During Sydney’s heartfelt chat with TJ towards the end, this soulful downtempo song plays gently in the background. “You Will Rise,” with its uplifting R&B vibe, underscores the emotional support TJ gives Sydney, encouraging her to pursue her dream. Used as a background score, the track’s warm, hopeful tone adds depth to the moment without overshadowing their dialogue.

This soulful ballad plays over the final scene and end credits. After Sydney finishes her call with Shapiro, “So In Love” begins as the episode’s closing soundtrack. Its tender, romantic soundscape conveys a sense of hope and relief, perfectly complementing Sydney’s mix of nerves and optimism as she prepares to join Shapiro. The song ends the episode on a warm, reflective note.

S4:EP5 Episode 5

As Carmy wanders through Frank Lloyd Wright’s historic home in Oak Park, Paul Simon’s mellow “Let Me Live In Your City” (an unreleased 1973 track) plays in the background. The song’s yearning lyrics about seeking a place to belong mirror Carmy’s reflective mood on his morning off. Its gentle, nostalgic vibe underscores Carmy’s moment of calm appreciation for “beautiful stuff made for the people,” aligning with his hopes for building something meaningful.

Sydney bolts up to a screeching alarm, phone dings, and chef-life dread. Reed’s drony lament underscores the panic of a morning already “slipping away.”

Sydney tries to clear her head shooting hoops, Carmy looks up at the sky, and the kitchen crew juggles doubts and encouragement about their food. The song, referenced earlier in a family story, floats over their moments, giving everything a bittersweet, nostalgic vibe. Magic is in the small, messy moments—hopeful, sad, and a little funny, just like the show.

In The Bear’s kitchen, Jason Isbell’s rousing rock anthem “Hope the High Road” plays as family friend Albert pitches the idea of franchising the sandwich shop to Ebraheim. The song’s upbeat energy and optimistic lyrics (“Last year was a son of a bitch for nearly everyone we know, but I ain’t fighting with you down in the ditch… I hope the high road leads you home again”) match the hopeful tone of this scene. It reinforces the sense that, despite past struggles, the characters are looking ahead with determination and positivity.

Sugar brings baby Sophie into The Bear for the first time, interrupting Carmy and Sydney’s talk about their new partnership. The staff gathers, jokes fly, and Marcus bonds with the baby. The gentle, searching song underscores the warmth, new beginnings, and the sense of family, even as Sydney gets devastating news about her dad.

S4:EP6 Episode 6

Sydney anxiously waits at the hospital for news about her dad, while back at The Bear, chaos from Sugar’s blow-up is settling down. The old-school Ronettes tune “Walking In The Rain” plays softly in the kitchen as Richie gets heartfelt advice from Jessica about not overreacting to his stepdaughter’s teddy bear gift. The nostalgic song brings a calm, bittersweet vibe to the family drama

After the dinner rush drama, Richie steps aside to call his ex, Tiff, and apologize for losing it over the teddy bear. He pours his heart out in a voicemail, admitting he feels isolated and left behind by his family. Otis Redding’s soul ballad “Remember Me” swells in the background, echoing Richie’s regret and longing as he hopes Tiff understands and won’t forget about him

Sydney finally gets to see her dad in the hospital, breaking down in relief and guilt as they reassure each other. Back at The Bear, the crew bands together to record a sweet voicemail telling Syd they love her and have her back. Wilco’s “I’m Always In Love” plays over this tender montage, adding a warm and slightly ironic backdrop as the restaurant family rallies around one of their own

S4:EP7 Episode 7

The episode kicks off with an opening montage at Tiff and Frank’s wedding: Carmy and Sydney arrive, Tiff greets them, Pete and Stevie pitch a sketchy art scheme, and Sugar locks eyes with Francie Fak for the first time. The lively wedding mix-and-mingle is driven by Tom Petty’s energetic “Walls (Circus).”
