The Bear Season 4 has finally returned a year later, and our favorite chefs are back at work again. If you have been an attentive viewer of The Bear, you must be familiar with the running gag about the feud between Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto and Francie Fak in the series since season 2. The new season also digs back into this unresolved mystery around Natalie in episode 2. So, who is this Francie, and why does Nat hate her so much? Let’s crack this mystery of Frankie Fak based on the latest details from the fourth season of The Bear.
Who Is Francie Fak in The Bear?
Much similar to the Berzatto family, the members of the Fak family have been slowly introduced throughout each season of The Bear. However, one character we still haven’t met is Francie Fak, the sister of Neil Fak. Francie has only been mentioned in Natalie’s heated conversations. Since Francie hasn’t made her official debut in the show, we are still not aware of her origins, the actress who plays the Francie role, and many more in The Bear.
Why Does Natalie Berzatto Hate Francie Fak?
The Berzattos and the Faks have always remained close friends. However, it isn’t the same sweet case with Nat as she has always made her animosity towards Francie clear in The Bear. So, what did Francie Fak do to Sugar to make her disdainful? In season 2, Sugar lashed out that Francie can’t come to any of their family events because of the ‘thing’ that happened between them in the past.
Natalie always held a grudge against Francie, which implies that she must have done something so hurtful in her life. While we didn’t get any information about Francie in season 3, season 4 started to give away some clues. In episode 2, Natalie and her husband Pete have a heated exchange of words about Francie when he brings up that he met Francie at the gym.
Pete explained that Francie told him to say ‘hi’ to Natalie. It’s clear that Nat is still mad at Francie as she tries to text Francie that she misses her at first, but Nat’s anger drives her to an extreme quickly. It seems that Francie Fak has a long history with Pete, which hints that she might have dated him or come between him and Nat in the past. That would explain why Nat is always furious about her.
With how things are playing out, we are sure that we will meet the much-awaited Francie Fak in the remaining episodes of The Bear season 4. Thus, stay tuned for more updates. In the meantime, let us know your predictions for Francie Fak’s character from The Bear in the comments below.
