In the freshly released teaser for Season 4 of “The Bear”, it seems that a crucial character may not be making an appearance, suggesting they could be absent from the upcoming episodes. Hulu’s series “The Bear” is a blend of comedy and drama, focusing on an extraordinary team of chefs under the guidance of Jeremy Allen-White’s character Carmy. The goal? To transform their humble sandwich shop into a high-end dining establishment. Through Seasons 2 and 3, we watched as Carmy juggled his responsibilities at the restaurant with his deepening bond with Claire (Molly Gordon), but their storyline ended on a cliffhanger in the last season, leaving fans eagerly anticipating its resolution.

The latest sneak peek for Season 4 of “The Bear” previews the hurdles the team must overcome to keep their restaurant afloat before funds dwindle. Consistently, “The Bear” pushes its characters to confront their inner struggles, and this season sees Carmy reconnecting with his mother, Donna (portrayed by Jamie Lee Curtis). Interestingly, Claire seems to be missing from the new clips.

In the final episode of Season 2 in “The Bear,” Carmy admitted his feelings while hidden in a freezer, expressing that he believed Claire was a distraction for him (unaware she was listening near the door). This led to their separation. Although viewers anticipated they might reconcile in Season 3, the show mainly delved into their past through flashbacks. Yet, Carmy’s troublesome relatives, the Faks, urged him to apologize to Claire, but he chose not to do so. Instead, they approached Claire at her workplace and requested she contact him instead.

After completing Season 3 of “The Bear”, the fate of their partnership appeared uncertain. Their disagreement from the Season 2 finale was unresolved, leaving viewers wondering if they had a common future as they approached Season 4. The trailer for Season 4 (which you can watch below) doesn’t offer any comfort, as there’s no sign of Claire in it.

Will Molly Gordon Return as Claire in The Bear Season 4?

The fact that Molly Gordon is missing from the teaser for The Bear‘s Season 4 implies that Claire and Carmy’s storyline might not be central in the upcoming season. Nevertheless, it appears that Carmy continues to grapple with the loss of Claire, as evidenced by a scene in the trailer where he stands contemplatively before a freezer door, possibly recalling the significant split between them in Season 2.

While Claire isn’t explicitly shown in the trailer for Season 4 of “The Bear,” it doesn’t necessarily mean that actress Gordon won’t resume her role in the upcoming episodes. In fact, Gordon has posted the latest trailer on her social media platforms, which could suggest her involvement. Moreover, various entertainment industry publications indicate that Gordon will reprise her recurring character in Season 4. It’s possible that the studio is keeping Claire under wraps to create a surprise for viewers when “The Bear” returns for its fourth season.

The fact that The Bear‘s storyline regarding Claire and Carmy has remained unresolved suggests there’s more to their tale yet to unfold. A key challenge for Carmy has been juggling his personal problems with his professional life. If he manages to evolve and learn from his errors in Season 4, it might pave the way for him to apologize to Claire and potentially rekindle their relationship.

Season 4 of The Bear will be released on Hulu on June 25, 2025.
