1. Gives her a partnership agreement so that she stays with him. She's locked in and he knows she can't just leave like she did in season 1.
I know that still affects him
2. He says the agreement makes it so that he can push her and she can push him.
He had to inhale when he told her she can push him
So apart from her not leaving on a whim, he wants them to interact STRONGLY with each other
3. He's creating a new menu everyday.
Sydney wanted to create menu so he's gonna show her that he's doing it. Except he took the wrong message away from that. She wanted them to create a solid menu TOGETHER
4. He wants to make things and himself perfect, so she stays
But she never said she needed perfection, just focus
5. He wants to get a star for her.
She asks him why he's doing all that. He says to get a star. She's the only one who wanted one. It's for her
6. He reminds her that he knows that's what she wanted.
All of that is for her but he's going about it the wrong way. It's seems as if he's blaming her and she picks up that vibe
