Emily in Paris Mid-Season-Premiere Recap: Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot?


Emily finally realizes what a bad deal dating Gabriel is. Also, how is it Christmas already?

In fact, almost everything at the top of this episode is going a little too well … for instance, when we see Julien (in an enormous and not chic orange hat; it looks like he decapitated Gritty and is wearing the mascot’s head atop his own as a trophy), he brags about having an annual fling with this hot guy who comes back to town every Christmas. Emily arrives at the airport in an extremely Emily-type travel outfit — over-the-knee boots, fleece-lined everything, giant sherpa coat that will be super bulky and annoying on the plane, only to discover, to her delight, that she has been bumped to business class. Emily desperately tries to get out of skiing but is roped into it just the same and winds up in a genuinely dangerous situation — zero visibility, extremely not a bunny hill — and I write in my notes: It WOULD be funny if Camille’s family were legitimately trying to kill her.
