Chantel has a lot of gossip about mutual friends to catch Sydney up on, and chides her for not being around more. At the end of the episode, when Sydney says she\u2019d like to meet up in a few weeks, Chantel rolls her eyes and says she doesn\u2019t expect to hear from Sydney for another six months.

In Season 4, he serves as the opening act. The premiere episode begins with a flashback where Mikey tells Carmy, who is simmering a pot of red sauce, that his attempt to get into the rental car business didn\u2019t pan out. By the sound of their conversation, it\u2019s just the latest in a string of business attempts that have gone south for him. Mikey expects Carmy to criticize him for the failed venture, but instead, Carmy points out that Mikey doesn\u2019t \u201cgive a shit\u201d about rental cars anyway, and says they should try opening a restaurant together instead. \u201cLook. Every one of our good memories, they happened in restaurants, right?\u201d he says. At this point in time, Carmy has already left Chicago to start his culinary career at more prestigious restaurants than the what would eventually become The Beef, and the fact that Carmy still wants to work with him after all of his accomplishments makes Mikey take the suggestion seriously.
