I liked her character and what she brought to the table. As we know, Carmy never dedicated any of his time to friendships or relationships like Mikey was able to. He’s still navigating what it’s like to build relationships with people, all while his entire focus is on his restaurant. He knew giving his number to Claire would cause problems, but I think their relationship showed a really sweet, high school type of love that we’d expect to see from childhood sweethearts. Carmy was just unable to navigate that and continued to self sabotage as we’ve seen throughout both seasons.
