Emily in Paris Season-Finale Recap: Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay


Everything works out for Emily in the finale, so naturally, Gabriel will ruin everything.

This season reminds me of an enduring Emily in Paris struggle: We eventually get fun plot lines on this show, but only after we’ve wasted several early-season episodes spinning our wheels over boring stuff. Turns out Sylvie came to Rome to study filmmaking, though she dismisses this very cool detour as “a middle-aged fantasy.” She confesses that she gave Emily uncharacteristically bad advice “to sacrifice romance for my ambition.” But ever since she started her own agency, she says, her life is all about work. His pangs of regret have nothing to do with an actual relationship (e.g. the specifics of who Emily is as a person and any real feelings for her) and more to do with his dawning horror that, for the first time since he and Camille got together, he is genuinely single, with no woman to promote from the back burner.
