FX dropped a surprise episode of “The Bear” on Wednesday.

Titled “Gary,” the episode is a flashback following Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Mikey (Jon Bernthal) on a work trip to Gary, Ind. Per the official description, the episode takes a look at “the two friends’ complicated relationship, uncovering new layers of Mikey’s mental state while offering crucial insight into the man Richie is when audiences first meet him in season one — adding emotional context that reframes their story from the very beginning.”

Moss-Bachrach and Bernthal co-wrote the episode themselves.
