Fak, what's your game? (Sydcarmies stick with the plotwist)

Just as @outmakingmoonshine observed, this isn't a "mushy gluey" love story. In all love stories, you have characters who are considered the helper and that's Richie and Fak all second season.

But the plot twist is that Fak is 'helping' one relationship while harming another - that's Sydney and Carmy.

The next plot twist is that Richie will be considered the helper when it comes to Syd and Carmy's partnership.

Richie will help the relationship because Richie was the one who got to meet Sydney's dad. He was the helper who made a good impression on Emmanuel.

While there was a 'close call" that episode 2x10 for the other helper/ (harmer) Fak did not have time talk to Emmanuel like Sydney requested, probably because stalling her dad would somehow give Fak enough time to further help Claire and Carmy. Since he would be in the dining room a bit longer, watching Carmy serve food. Where he would have time to introduce Carmy and Emmanuel and somehow out that Carmy is dating Claire.

We don't want Carmy and Emmanuel to meet under those circumstances.

It's why the helpers/harmers were busy looking in the mirror while Carmy had alone time to unite with his love Sydney under the table.

The more you see it, the more you can see the love story that's being written. Now I guess we're going to continue seeing Fak be harmful to Syd and Carmys' relationship, but in the end, they come together without the onlookers.
