Emily in Paris” is a romantic comedy series on Netflix starring Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, an ambitious marketing executive. Emily relocates to Paris to offer an American perspective to a French marketing firm named Agence Grateau. The story explores themes of ambition, friendship, and the pursuit of love in a foreign city. A recurring theme in the show is Emily’s struggle to balance her American ideals with French culture. Personally, I especially love the fashion displayed throughout the series. If you’d like a refresher of the first 3 seasons checkout my recaps, of season 1, 2, and 3 listed below.

Season 4 of ‘Emily in Paris’ kicks off with a dramatic twist. Gabriel reveals to Emily that Camille is carrying his child, leading to a complex situation where they decide to remain close. However, Emily is aware of Camille’s true feelings for Sofia Sideris, adding another layer of intrigue to the story.
After the wedding fell apart, with Gabriel telling Emily that Camille is pregnant with his baby. Despite their breakup he still wants to be part of the baby’s life, therefore he and Chamille remain close, with Emily knowing that Camille is actually in love with a woman Sofia Sideris (Melia Kreiling).
Alfie and Emily initially appeared to be reconciling after a brief breakup, but their relationship ultimately fell apart after a public kiss on the “bisous cam” at a sporting event, which made Alfie realize he couldn’t move past Emily’s persistent feelings for Gabriel, leading him to definitively end things with her; essentially, the kiss served as their final goodbye despite its seemingly romantic appearance.
An exciting element of the show happened near the end of Season 3 with Mindy (Ashley Park) being told that a song has been selected for the Eurovision competition. More on that later.
The Masquerade Ball, was another wonderful reason to show fans outlandish costumes that Emily and her friends wear. They do finally get together, although Alfie goes as well in a last-ditch effort to get back with Emily. He ends up kissing a woman that was working on he perfume campaign as she was dressed the say as Emily, although he knew it wasn’t her when she left in a carriage with Gabriel.
After visiting a gynecologist, Camille discovers she’s not actually pregnant. There’s a shot of her smoking in sadness at a restaurant with her friend confirmed it. She thought about telling Gabriel, yet it was the only thing keeping them together. She doesn’t give up and waits forever to tell him. When they are both back in Paris, Camille asks Gabriel to join her for lunch outside the city, yes a cunning move as she introduces him to her family’s priest and wants to discuss adoption. Gabriel is caught off guard and says, “We’re not together. We both deserve to have a family with someone we’re in love with.”
