The Return of the Cleaver?

As I pointed out like a year ago, the cleaver is significant for its allusions to Christian teachings on marriage in which a couple cleaves together but it also carries a double meaning of splitting and martyrdom. So, actually a perfect encapsulation of Carmy's need to cling to Syd while simultaneously offering himself as sacrifice by promising to leave.

In Season 4, Syd tells Carmy when they are about to talk about the changed partnership agreement that she has lost her cleaver and he promises her a new one. The fact that she has lost her ability to split from him and also to cleave to him foreshadows the new terms of the partnership agreement. Some have even speculated that Carmy stole Syd's cleaver.

In the final season, we see Syd and Carmy chat about his plans to leave and his resume-worthy skills. As he is listening to Syd rib him gently, he is unwrapping his own cleaver. Notably, he unwraps it but never uses it. Syd lances the poison of Mikey's banishment by telling Carmy that he always has an opening back at the Bear.

At that moment, he seems almost overcome and, to her bemusement, walks away with a touch on her arm. I was confused by why he needed to step away from that conversation. But now I'm realizing that it meant that the cleaver lays between them, unused. So, in short, Carmy and Syd are cleaving together (she has lost her ability to split from him, he chooses not to use his to abandon her for his architectural pipedreams). By greenlighting Ebra's franchise plan in the very next scene, he is finding ways to keep their Bear ship afloat.

Now I want Syd and Carmy (with a careful set of confidantes) to brainstorm how to use that cleaver to split away the Bear from Unc-Cheese-Computer-Disney.
