It's perceived that Sydney's struggle this season was learning to be a leader and wanting a successful business because of Sheridan Catering.
That could be it. But I think deep down her struggle lies in loneliness. She wanted all this because she wanted to do this with Carmy.
I think about the beginning of 2x03 Sundae when she asks if Carmy is sending her home to find inspiration. The question was laced in disappointment that she would be alone in her dad's house. I think Sheridan Catering reminds her of a lonely period in her life, and she realized in 1x08 how much they need each other.
Another scene that stands out, of course, is the table scene. When Sydney fixes her side and Carmy asks what she's afraid of she first says that I don't have what it takes to not fuck this up. But a beat changes, she pauses and let's out her deepest fear.
You could do this without me.
The point of coming back and opening The Bear has to do with Carmy. They're only focused on each other, building together, getting a star together.
I think the ending will point out that it's not about the star, the restaurant, or Sheridan Catering. They could possibly lose what they worked towards. The worst could happen where The Bear catches fire, and it doesn't matter. As long as they're together.
This is all for Carmy, like he's doing it all for her- because he expressed how much he needs Sydney.

the reason why dhmis tv feels 'less scary' to most people than the webseries is because the stoplight trio are now aware of the pattern and are more or less resigned to it (minus the occasinal breakdown) and the teachers are way less powerful than the OG teachers.
in the original series, the trio only begin to expect a teacher showing up by episode four (in fact, harry deliberately seeks one out - turning to gilbert when they need to know what the biggest thing in the world is, only to be hijacked by colin), and in that same episode, his self-awareness is rewarded by the narrative with forcible removal from the house.
the original series is a theatre of helplessness, control, and punishment. the trio remember everything that's happened to them but are unable to stop it, and get put through agonizing lessons by teachers that warp reality around them and antagonize them when they toe out of line. when they become self-aware, they're immediately punished by the show (harry getting kicked out into the real world, robin getting canned and cannibalized), and the surviving members have to keep going despite it.
in the new series, their memories are spotty but they're resigned to the teachers showing up. they expect them to the point where it's routine. AND their teachers aren't as untouchable as the old ones, and the trio can toe out of line. the briefcase leaves halfway through the lesson, the coffin gets absolutely blasted to pieces by a shovel, the family gets eaten by roy, warren gets the living shit roasted out of him before getting speared, the train dies midway through before his corpse gets used as a car, and the meter gets her batteries stolen. the trio still are helpless regarding their situation with the house and the loop, but they're nowhere near as under the mercy of the teachers as they used to be.

I can’t stop imagining Riz feeling bad for Cassandra and how she might die and worshipping her sort of. On accident. While trying to make her death or at least her decision to retire as a god more pleasant and nice.
burning incense in her ‘church’ or in her favor so there’s a nice smell of lavender. Sleeping at her alter because he doesn’t fully know how to make people feel better but going to sleep makes the people around him happy so he tries it. Bringing her what little food he has even though she can’t eat it because sharing food is a sign of love to him because he grew up having barely enough to not feel starving at the end of every day. Talking to her alter about his day the same way he does his dad’s grave.
Riz loving someone without the work, completely on accident, actually.

Between
2x08 S: "As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me. Because at the end of the day, helping my friends is more important than anything in the world!"
3x03 Mei: "So wait, how did you get your gold vision back again?" MK: "I don't know! The same way I got them in the first place I guess. Every time I learned a new ability, it was because there was something I NEEDED to do, when there was no other way. Against the gold fish guy I NEEDED to do something to save my friends!" P: "Yeah, friends that YOU put in danger on purpose!"
3x10 MK: "NO! Mei is my best friend, I’d never abandon her when she needs me. We’re heroes! It’s what we do!",
3x14 MK: "A perfect world is what you make it. So as long as I have my friends by my side...this world! Is! Perfect!”
4x01 MK: "Honestly? I’m kinda liking the world as it is, right now. So...if it could just stay like this, forever? That would be awesome." SWK: "Yeah well...forever’s a long time bud...trust me."
4x02 AL: "It’s too late to save them! We can’t risk unleashing the curse into the world." MK: “You don’t know! We’d risk it for sure! I won’t abandon them when they need us."
4x07 IMK: "You can see it, can't you? This is your fate. Your friends will turn on you, seeing you for the monster you will become. They will destroy you, harbinger of chaos."
4x11 MK: "We have to try, he'd do the same—for any of us." and
4x14 YT: "I know full well what would happen should Azure fail. But- but he is my brother. I owe him my life." S: "We get it! I'd do anything to help my friends. But at the cost of the world?" P: "I'm sorry pal, but NOTHING worth that price!"
I'm like, really worried scoob.
