My prayer for some meaningful plot continuity?
My plea that Emilys actions actually have consequences?
(At least for now.)
I feel seen by all of this, not to mention ecstatic.
Emily has returned to Paris and a package from Skokie, Illinois.
Free-speech victory or chilling harbinger of a right-wing rise to come?
Its anyones guess!)
I also write: Wait, did Emily go for a run in a lace-up open-front corset?
Gabriel leaves and Mindy arrives to askwhy the hell did you invite Gabriel.
Thank you, Mindy.
Sylvie is an icon.
Emily is now wearing off-white fingerless biker gloves.
She invites the entire office to her birthday dinner.
This is not the part of the episode where Emilys actions have consequences, sorry to say.
Emily leaves work in the middle of the day (?)
Emily still has those stiff curls that look like molded plastic.
She wears a robe among all the topless chic French women.
Camille introduces Emily as one of the good ones to really get us ready for Emilys inevitable downfall.
Emilyveryconspicuously leaps into the chat to say Gabriel isnotseeing anyone else.
Camille starts talking about how the only someone else in Gabriels life is his restaurant, especially hisomelette pan.
It issacredto him, and it has his initials on it.
Deserves to get busted!
I mean, yes, but also, is thatreallywhy this didnt work out?
Interesting meddling in adult relationships going on here!
And Im pretty sure all their dates were also business dinners?
Then we see Emily checking the flurry of social-media notifications and well-wishes from her friends around the globe.
EMILY IS TWENTY-NINE!!
IT IS CANON!!
Thats what I call impact, baby!
Lets stay on this positive note: Emilys birthday outfit at work is very cute.
Playful jacket, great colors on her, actually realistic flat sandals.
to get to humiliate her, Madeline has sent frozen deep-dish pizzas that Julien immediately chucks in the trash.
Luc treats Emily to a birthday jaunt to the Pere Lachaise Cemetery to visit Balzacs grave.
He always comes here on his birthday.
To think about life is to think about death.
I have no notes; this is actually a cool and just-weird-enough birthday idea from him.
Emily, who wants Gabriel and Camille to get back together, is doing alotof flirting.
They get caught in a storm.
Finally something gets that awful curl-blob out of her hair!
Gabriel explains theyre in acoup de foudre, which could mean lightning storm or love at first sight.
One more platonic gesture (he pushes her hair!
Behind her ear!!!
That is basically third base for Emily!!!!
), and she bolts.
It is … several giant floppy magenta bows.
Like the worst 80s bridesmaids dress youve ever seen, multiplied.
Is it so bad its good again?
I dont think so, but I shareTom and Lorenzos aversion for bows on grown women.
At least her hair has improved?
Sylvie is here and I am stunned she doesnt have anywhere better to be.
Her birthday gift is a gorgeous cigarette case.
But you know that I dont smoke, Emily says.
Well, its never too late to start, says Sylvie.
I find the whole thing confusing because didnt henotbreak up with her?
But also he did?
Mindy, in a dress the color of a highlighter, knows better.
She has some words for Gabriel, too: And to my boyfriend, who fucked my fake friend.
And then shesmashes the glasson the ground.
Sylvie offers Emily a cigarette: phenomenal.
Im so excited for Emily to actually have anenemy.
For this show to maybe … actually … have stakes?!?
If Camille forgives her in the next episode,Iwill start smoking.
