Claire, the new love interest of Jeremy Allen White’s Carmy, played by Molly Gordon in the second season of TheBear, is a prototypical Manic Pixie Dream Girl.
However, the proof that she is wholly designed to break down Carmy’s defenses and open him up emotionally comes in the following episode. Even though he gives her a fake number—something that would surely deter any flesh-and-blood woman—that simply motivates Claire to pursue him more aggressively. She procures his actual number, playfully threatens him, and then seemingly invents an excuse to hang out. Crucially, she doesn’t seem genuinely furious or upset, though—that’d be too thorny.
After that, we see her helping him run an errand, and delivering some classically kooky Manic Pixie Dream Girl lines in the process: “I had all this extra adrenaline after resettling this guy’s tibia,” she declares without batting an eyelid; and then, “I’m a horrible driver… but I enjoy the risk of it,” said with an enigmatic smile; plus her confession about shoplifting gum from Walgreens as a child. She also gets him talking about his late brother, and drags him to his first ever party.
The rest of their relationship plays out in Carmy’s apartment, where Claire is a constant source of calm and support, telling him to “never, ever apologize” when he fears he’ll mess everything up. Then, of course, he does. In the climactic scene of the season finale, Carmy—spoiler alert—gets locked into the walk-in fridge and yells about the importance of choosing work over his relationship with Claire, unaware of the fact that she’s just outside the door.
