(This would have been easy to resolve!
Oh, Camille has been away on business for a month and just got back or some such thing.
)As your residentNormal Peoplerecapper, I am here to advocate for sexual verisimilitude.
First of all, she doesnt want to take over the zipper kingdom and start dressing like Angela Merkel.
(Would she have to do that, though?Maybe she could dress like Shiv Roy.)
She even became a meme.
In China, you dont get more than one kid, Mindy reminds her.
Having heard Mindy sing exactly zero times, Emily is convinced her friend needs to pursue her art professionally.
(Sylvie, unimpressed: Thats not black.
Emily babbles herself into a hole.
Pierre spots her gold Eiffel Tower bag chain A gold.
As she sits alone with a glass of wine and eyes a confusing couple before her mother/son?
a cute guy sitting nearby picks up a vibe and starts flirting with her.
Good for you, Emily.
(But was she even wearing that La Perla lingerie?
Is it just collecting dust in a drawer somewhere?)
I find it hard to believe Emily didnt already know that the French word for orgasm means little death.
I feel like thats sort of popular knowledge, no?
But when Camille tells her its quite a revelation.
Emily bops over to the office in a very basic outfit to defend her non-basicness.
She reports to Julian that she had sex with a professor.
He tells her, Thats worse than basic.
She is on a luxury brand quarantine and has been DISMISSED.
Hearing Sylvie shout see to it she knows what a quarantine is!
really brings me back.
Are you surprised by this turn of events?
Bold choice to do La Vie en Rose so soon after everybody sawA Star Is Born.
Camille is a compulsive you should join us!er, which is almost worse than being an asshole.
(Reminds me of this excellent scene fromBroad City.)
No one can say no so now everyone is trapped on a doomed double date.
Obviously shes not going to be interested in spending her free time with her disappointing underling!
So Emily takes the professor instead.
An asshole masquerading as an intellectual.
Which is true, but Gabriel is an asshole masquerading as a nice guy, which is worse.
That is a total dick move.
I want to be mad at this, but honestly, given her behavior and workplace conduct etc.
thus far, simple but beautiful is… not an unfair assessment of her character.
She gives him the finger and goes to the basic ballet without him.
She was obsessed withGossip Girland got it to be like Serena.
Basics worship designers, she tells him.
Without basic bitches like me, you wouldnt be fashionable.
Pierre responds to this soliloquy by saying, I cant believe it was Dan.
We watch the entire series to find out it wasDan.
Honestly, thats a great response, thank you Pierre.
I assume thats you.
Mindy: French men never get tired of having sex.
Its like docking them in a lightning port.
More wisdom from Mindy: In Paris, no one judges you for doing nothing!
Mindy again, explaining to Emily that the Metro smells like PBO: Pussy B.O.
This is of course because French men HATE to shower after sex!
They will not do it!
They must carry the scent of sex with them always and everywhere!
True story, I did laugh out loud when Julian said, America sounds like a prison.
