Friends amis I have to level with you: I found this season finale wildly disappointing.
Antoine could have stopped dancing around it and just propositioned Emily for real.
Olivia at Durees warning to Emily that Sylvie would stab her in the back couldve come true.
Camille couldve actually walked in on Gabriel and Emily together.
Even the lower-stakes arcs never wound up going anywhere!
busting out some conversational skills that save the day?
Our protagonist has not changed, learned, or grown at all.
Nor has she gotten worse in a way that would make her more interesting.
(I would support that, too!)
She is a totally static character.
She has been rejected by exactly no one.
so Mindy moves in with Emily.
Pierre is still devastated by the Grey Space disaster and wont allow Emily into the atelier.
Mathieu picks up Emily and takes her on a boat ride along the Seine.
This is his version of taking her out for a drink.
He says this is where he comes to get a fresh perspective.
Hes in a bind: Pierre wont show anyone the new collection and the show is in three days.
(How original!)
Here she takes in a beautiful view, her favorite thing to do.
Are we just copy and pasting from 10,000 other TV shows and movies now?
Anyway, they kiss, its fine, though I think we are supposed to believe it is HOT.
Then the landline rings.How Claudia Kishi of him!The landline is just for Pierre.
he doesnt tell Emily to just sleep there, so everyone goes home.
Antoine is also here, smoldering and looking great.
All is well untilWomens Wear Dailytweets that Pierre is cancelling his show.
Emily is, implausibly, calling Mathieu Matt and now everyone assumes they are sleeping together.
Great work, Emily.
Sylvie blames Emily for shattering Pierres confidence with the Grey Space debacle.
We have a fashion designer who wont show his fashion.
Its almost as meaningless as an American who doesnt speak French at a Parisian marketing firm.
Thats what Ive been SAYING.
Sylvie fires her and honestly, this is correct!
Am I supposed to feel badly for Emily?
Julian and Luc advise her to keep coming into work and avoid eye contact for the time being.
Luc says we will never deserve you like … what … why … where is this coming from?!
EMILY HOW ARE YOU NOT BLINDED BY THE RED FLAGS.
I know this isnt really the time to mention it, but Camille looks very cute with that ponytail.
Emily, just fully committing to antihero status, says, Im here if you need anything.
You know, like someone to have sex with your boyfriend now that youre mad at him.
Emily immediately switches loyalties by pouting in Gabriels apartment while he packs up his stuff.
See, he didnt tell Camile because heknewshed say no.
Thats how adults in committed relationships handle difficult conversations.
Emily totally gets it.
Sylvie is also wearing hot pink, which is very out of character.
Is this a way of suggesting she and Emily are more on the same wavelength than they seem?
I dont buy it.
Pierre wants to see Emily NOW.
Sylvie wants to chaperone.
Emily puts on a black and white houndstooth beret to go with that horrid outfit.
(Sylvies coat is also black-and-white, I guess we are supposed to believe they are a team now.
Pierre unveils what he calls the future of Cadault.
Its a dress that Emily likes!
Gabriel, manipulative as ever, swings by Emilys place with a going away present.
Its the cast-iron pan, so I will say: Fine, ONE reference comes full circle.
His last night at the restaurant is tomorrow.
Why wait to start my new life?
At the Grey Space show, everyone is LOUD and YOUNG and WEARING HOODIES.
Emily is in a bright pink beret and a puffer coat.
The statements are I AM TACKY and PIERRE WHO and BASIC.
Good for you, Pierre!
Everyone gathers at Gabriels to celebrate.
All of Emilys men are there.
Sylvie is still talking shit about Antoine to his face.
(Oh, hes full of promises, isnt he?)
Emily is wary but Im all for it.
Back in her apartment, Emily pours herself more wine.
They have sex; she says it was incredible.
He insists they can still see each other since hell just be in Normandy.
Emily does not say, If the distance is so inconsequential, why are you and Camille breaking up?
Instead she says, I dont think I should ever see you again.
Its morning in Paris and Sylvies dress is slit up to her hipbone.
LOL, you dont say.
The girl wearing a beret with a pom-pom lacks polish?
Good luck with that, Emily!
