We review everything that has happened in that last episode and what it may mean for the future of the series.
Emily in Paris Season 3: Story Recap
Despite feeling at odds with herself, Emily has made her first big decision: to stay in Paris to work with Sylvie. After many months spent in the city and next to her workmates, she feels she has built a whole new existence here by opening an unexpected chapter of her life. So, the little American girl seems to have finally found her place in the world. On the other hand, she could never give up her days with Mindy, to share working hours with Luc and Julien. Even the distant Sylvie has won an important place in her affections. Not to mention Gabriel, who continues to be still an open chapter.
Thus, after a momentary uncertainty, in which he is unable to reveal the truth to Madeline, he refuses to return to Chicago with her, finally clarifying an aspect of his life. For everything else, however, he still travels within a fog which, depending on the different situations, thickens or thins out. The biggest problems come from love life, of course. On the one hand, Alfie seems to be the ideal solution to forget the impossible love with Gabriel. On the other hand, however, Emily fails to fully commit to this relationship. Although he is back with Camille Gabriel continues to have an important role in her.
A feeling that is mutual although appearances can tell a different story. Luckily Mindy is always next to her, ready to give her the courage that often fails her. And, when you least expect it, here comes the plot twist, the twist in which Emily’s life takes a new turn. But, to understand her well, she will have to wait longer.
Emily in Paris Season 3 Ending Explained: What Is the Secret of Gabriel And Camille?
In this third season, a lot has happened. If we remember, the season 2 finale of Emily in Paris left us wondering what Emily’s decision would be: stay in Paris or return to Chicago? At first, the protagonist refuses to decide: she starts working in two ways, with Madeleine at Savoir and with Sylvie at her new agency. Of course, they catch her, although everything will go back her way when she shows once again how good she is at what she does. This is how the Grateau Agency was born with Luc, Julien, and Sylvie as the central nucleus, and a new professional home for Emily in the French capital.
Personally, it has not been less intense. Camille begins an affair with Sofía, a Greek artist whom she has promoted at her art gallery, while Gabriel is immersed in work with her restaurant, which is on the crest of the wave. On the other hand are Alfie and Emily, who seem perfect for each other, but it always seems that the loves of the past weigh on them. All these details will be essential to understand what happened in the end. We take a look at the major events of Emily in Paris Season 3 ending, which pave the way for the dramas of season 4.
Why Julien Leaves the Grateau Agency?
It looks like Sylvie’s newly launched agency is going to lose one of its founding members very soon. It doesn’t come as a surprise: Julien has spent the entire season trying to shine in his work, but Emily always seems to show up at the last moment to steal the show. His ideas convince them, but Emily always takes the cat to water. Julien has been persistently asking Sylvie to find a way to stop the American from poking her nose into all of her ad campaigns, but the boss can’t seem to find a way. Or maybe she didn’t want to.
In the last episode of the season, we see how Julien responds to what appears to be a job offer at another agency. And he sounds like he’s going to accept her. How will this change the dynamics within the Grateau Agency? Will he now become a match for them? We are sure that the series will not miss the opportunity to face Julien and Emily to get the attention of big brands in the next season.
Sylvie Has to Face a Traumatic Past
At a certain point in the season, Sylvie meets an old acquaintance: Louis de Leon, the head of the JVMA and the father of Nicolas. And something smells like silence: the head of the Grateau Agency hints in her conversation that something happened between them when she was a secretary and he was her powerful boss, and she drops that what happened between them was not consented to. Did Louis de Leon sexually assault Sylvie? It is not clear in this third season, but we do not doubt that we will meet him in the next one, especially considering what happens next.
In these episodes, we have seen how Sylvie has reconnected with her husband Laurent (Arnaud Binard), from whom she has lived apart for some time. Her business is in Saint Tropez (as we saw earlier in the series) and the distance did not do them any good. On her anniversary, Laurent makes a surprise appearance to accompany Sylvie to the opera and it seems they are fanning the flame of their relationship. They are both going to give their marriage a chance, now for real, and they will be able to do so thanks to the good news that Laurent brings he is going to open a Laurent G club in Paris and will stay permanently in the capital. The dog? It turns out that the person who makes this new business possible is none other than Louis de Leon., which is the main investor. Sylvie’s face says it all. Will Sylvie have to put up with any more awkward encounters with the businessman? Will she tell Laurent the truth even if it means hurting her business and, at the same time, her newly arranged marriage?
The main event of the ‘Emily in Paris’ season 3 finale is undoubtedly Gabriel and Camille’s engagement party, which in a moment of spontaneity turns into the wedding itself. Since they were all there well dressed… And the things that happen on that night! Now, the event that triggers it all is the moment that Camille stands up to Gabriel at the altar and says, in front of all her family and friends, that her fiancée is still in love with Emily. All this comes after many tensions as a result of the infidelity of Camille herself, who has been seeing (and very often) the Greek artist Sofia. Gabriel doesn’t know anything, Emily does, but she hasn’t seen the heart to tell him and now, paradoxically, the one who leaves them both with a problem is Camille herself.
The reason why Camille decides to leave Gabriel is something she has known for a long time and which she has denied to herself: Gabriel is indeed in love with Emily. And vice versa. If we remember, in season 2 both women made a friendship pact by which they promised not to date Gabriel to protect their friendship. However, at the end of the season, we find out that the Frenchwoman had broken her promise and moved in with her non-ex. Time jump to the present and Camille sees Gabriel and Emily hugging when the chef finds out that her restaurant is being considered for a Michelin star. It’s not that I’m misinterpreting that moment of joy: it’s just that the looks of these two exchanges are hard to ignore. Hurt, she chooses the worst moment to reveal their failed pact and her desire to end the relationship. All this without confessing his infidelity… How convenient.
Alfie Leaves Emily… Permanently?
After all that drama at the impromptu wedding comes the fallout. Sure, when Camille reveals the matter of the pact, Alfie comes to his conclusion: the only reason Emily didn’t break up with Gabriel is because of that friendship agreement, but Emily has never stopped wanting to be with the French chef. All this goes through her head without listening to any of the explanations that Emily could give her. In the chapel, he gets up, reproaches her for her feelings, and leaves hurt for having opened up once again to another person who disappoints him. A few episodes ago, he confessed that he hadn’t had any luck with her relationships. We suppose he can add this to the list.
Will we see him again in the fourth season? Or will she return to London herself, having no reason to stay but a frustrating job with Antoine Lavaux? The truth is that we know perfectly well that Emily is deeply in love with Gabriel and that Alfie, although he liked her and bet a lot on the relationship, never gave her the same butterflies in her stomach.
Mindy is Going to Eurovision!
Mindy’s personal and professional life has been a real hurricane this season. On the one hand, she left her band to accept a job as a solo singer in an important Parisian club, where her career has taken a considerable leap. On the other hand, her beautiful relationship with Benoît was cut short with the arrival of Nicolas de Leon, an old boarding school classmate for whom she begins to have feelings. Her relationship with the guitarist ends, Mindy begins a relationship with Nicolas, and it seems that things are serious. After a few tensions with Emily’s overwork, it becomes clear that Nicolas is willing to swallow her pride for Mindy.
Now, it seems that curves are coming in the fourth season. In the last episode, Benoît shows up at Mindy’s house and drops some bombshell news on her: they’ve been selected to go to Eurovision! Indeed, the song he wrote for her has been selected to represent France in the contest and they both have to perform it. When they hug each other out of joy, the sexual tension rises again. Or maybe it never left. Of course, Nicolas is not going to like this one bit, and the love triangle is served.
And the Final bomb: Camille is Pregnant?
We return to the fateful wedding to go over the last scene of the season, which is between Gabriel and Emily. They both find themselves shrouded in shadows, embarrassed by what has happened in the chapel, unsure about the direction they should go in their love lives now that they’ve both been jilted. Their chemistry shines again and it seems that the two have given in to the evidence of their feelings for each other, but then Gabriel tells her the best-kept secret of the season: Camille is pregnant. That is the reason why the chef wanted to propose to her and gain control over the restaurant because she already sees the possibility of having a family closer than ever, which is what she wants with all her might. We don’t have time to see Emily’s reaction beyond her surprised face, but it’s clear that this news creates some major issues for a possible relationship between them. What will happen now? We will have to wait for the next season to find out.
