Quit stalling, Syd! We gotta get back to the "Family style, two tops, booths" moment! And for that, she has to speak up!
She has to make HER move.
Whilst I agree with her on that not being the best timing, that conversation she has been avoiding is the one thing that can unstuck them from that dreadful place they are now trapped in till next season.
It's such an awful torment for us to have to wait a year for this resolution because, like I said → here they didn't throw us a bone of hope this time around and we know that everything depends on the choice she makes. The whole plot is in her hands right now and she can twist it as she pleases. Sydney's character may have been deprived of her well-deserved screentime, but it hasn't been written off or put aside at all, she's just in a tacit way everpresent since she received that offer and she started to "have a think".
Don't be fooled by this lay out and fucked up turn of events, chefs:
Her character is now more central than ever. She can change it all.
I have a pretty good idea of who what she will choose and my rock solid reasons for not being worried. But patience is not my forte and this is the definition of torture for me.
All my hopes are now put on WTF will Carmy do after seeing that review:
If he changes his route and heads to Syd's apartment, we're golden because having that conversation right after that panic attack for Syd is the best thing that can happen to her, due to her avoidant nature. Having her defenses down and being forced by her own body to be vulnerable is the best scenario for her to really open up to Carmy, tell him she's thinking about leaving and whatever else she feels at the moment, just let it all out, for instance, why she's having such hard time accepting that offer, why she felt alone AGAIN after he told her that was not gonna happen again, etc. All of that has to be voiced out by her and even though he's definitely not in the best place to hear it right now, then again he may never be, the fact that he will see her in such a vulnerable state will force him to have to deal with it and then he will be able to open up too about how he doesn't want her to leave, but he won't stop her and then she can freely make that choice. I hope all of this happens in 04x01 and it wouldn't be a stretch at all.
BUT NOTHING CAN HAPPEN IF SHE KEEPS AVOIDING IT.
It all depends on Syd now. She's the twist.
