THE MESSAGES OF FATHERS
I would like to point out the difference in the messages that Sydney and Carmy both receive from their father/father-like figures in S02E09.
First we get Sydney and Emmanuel. As Sydney is about to leave for the restaurant, she has a talk with her father. Sydney ponders on why we can't put everything we have into of everything we do. Emmanuel then asks "then why put so much into this one?" Sydney then says because she's not sure if she could do another one.
Then we get Uncle Jimmy/Cicero and Carmen. Cicero tells the story of "complete and utter failure", the Alex Gonzalez and Stevie Bartman story. The story of how Alex's first fuck up led to another fuck ups but the loss of the Cubs was blamed on little Stevie Bartman. Carmen then thinks that they don't want to end up being Stevie but Cicero tells him no, he's actually not supposed to end up like Alex Gonzalez, he mustn't end up unfocused.
Both messages come from a place of love and wanting the best for their loved ones, but the differences in how they're expressed is so stark. With Emmanuel, he asked Syndey how she's feeling, before anything else and lets her know that she puts too much pressure on herself and that he'll ALWAYS be there for her. With Cicero, he urges Carmy to completely commit himself and not drop the ball, because he doesn't want to take the restaurant away from him.
Going back to previous episodes of S02, in episode 1, where Sydney talks about staying calm and taking it step by step and episode 2, where Carmen tells Sydney that if she wants the star, she must be incredibly focused and care for nothing else. Both Carmen and Cicero's messages align and Sydney and Emmanuel's messages align. But Carmen and Sydney's messages don't. I feel that Sydney needed to hear Cicero's message and Carmen needed to hear Emmanuel's. Because it's true, Sydney does need to be more focused and efficient to get that star and Carmen should relax and take things step by step, as he has been there before. He was the youngest CDC and managed to retain stars, he's got nothing to prove, he just needs to be a great partner.
In order for success on both sides, Sydney and Carmen need to be aligned. Both messages need to be at play so that both Sydney and Carmy know what they must do for one another in order to get what they want.
In the end of episode 10, Sydney vomits and Carmy spirals. They are far from the messages that were told to them. In season 3, balance and finding their way back to the messages AND to each other will be a determining factor on if they get that star. I CAN'T WAIT.😭😭😭
