we got the fact that sydney lied saying she’d go to the original beef on sundays with her dad when they’re always closed on sundays just to work under carmy (s1 says they are open 7 days a week HOWEVER in s1 episode 8 syd tells marcus that her family rarely ate out and then in season 2 carmy tells claire how much he hates sundays)

the THOUGHT of sydney calming carmy down during a panic attack twice mind you when the thought of claire only made it worse

the iconic table scene in season two

the fact that CARMYS FIRST DISH was the best meal sydney had (looked like a bleeding heart mind you)

burned himself out and put the restaurant in debt because he wanted to get a star FOR SYDNEY not for himself

carmy saying he liked this when it was literally just them in the kitchen in episode one mind you

him literally begging sydney to let him come to the hospital and that phone call in general

both the kid and donna’s crazy ass clocked sydcarmy and they didn’t even watch them interact

carmy literally sounding so sad with that “you didn’t talk to me all service” in episode ten

the fact that sydney knows she can run the bear herself with sugar and richie but she WANTS to work with carmy cried over the fact that he was leaving her

Neither Carmy nor Michael cares about raisins; maybe they don't like them, but because it's the way Donna used to do it, Nat is angry that they are not respecting her mother's traditions. Nat is the one who grew up trying to win Donna's affection by emotionally regulating her; she wants to do things in a way that would make Donna happy.

Carmy goes and tries to force a complicated version of Donna's chicken recipe onto the staff instead of the practical and straightforward Sydney's risotto. He wants to excel but prove to his mother his affection and devotion by using the recipe (well, the whole 7 fishes course in the restaurant). He is trapped in this narrative; he wants to make her mother proud.

they will get glimpses of you, they will smell what you smelt like and they will hear me call your name through a moonlit night.

they will experience unimaginable wonders As they feast,on the corner of my brain that houses you. they will not move an inch without bumping into a piece of you.

by recent, it means Stevetony I read in April and May.
