Armed with no information, we must move forward, our brains as vacant as Emilys once was.
(She does seem a bit sharper these days,non?
At least her French is improving.)
but is, in fact, alive and well and hates Camille, which is a very funny twist.
Also, I like Emilys plaid outfit.
Am I getting weaker, or is her clothing getting better?
He will be making the pitch deck, and Emily canNOT participate.
Upon closer inspection here and sans coat, Emilys outfit is, dare I say, chic.
It is definitely French adjacent.
Black with white trim.
The inspectors are anonymous.
Except Luc knows one!
A Marianne he dated until he outed her as an inspector, which is why they broke up.
Lucs zaniness is put to good plot-centric use here, and I appreciate it.
Mindy laments that Nicos social calendar is exhausting.
I wonder if she has another job or if shes just enjoying life as a trophy girlfriend.
But this lunch is interrupted by a Camille and Sofia sighting.
Emilys hair is immobile again, but her body takes her over to their table to say hello.
Mindy is wearing a bra as a shirt, a neon jacket, and a belly-chainbody-belt situation?
I also feel like Sofias outfit here is pretty disastrous.
As they leave lunch, Mindy changes her long-standing advice to Emily to stay out of it.
Now that Camille and Gabriel are engaged, Mindy says, Emily has to tell him about Sofia.
What optimal timing for all involved parties.
Gabriels food looks incredible.
Camille has an engagement ring from the grandmother-in-law-to-be who despises her.
Alfie, Emily, and Mindy have dinner without Nicolas, who couldnt make it.
), and Mindy replies with a PERFECT Emily, stop making everything about you!
I know hes French, but his aesthetic-slash-vibe here is veryAmerican Psycho.
(That said, excellent delivery by Ashley Park of Ive even pretended to care about your brothers NFT.
Do not put any money in that by the way.)
At work the next day, Juliens pitch is going just swimmingly until Emily hijacks it.
), but things build until Julien blows up: Do you have an off switch?
The show is so much more interesting when Emily has a real antagonist!
Sylvie assures Julien that she wants him to be happy here and will handle the Emily situation.
But will it be enough to keep him here??
Off to Camille and Gabriels engagement party in Champagne.
Her shoes, as always, are ridiculous.
Gabriels pale-blue suit looks VERY good on him.
I also am really feeling Camilles off-shoulder situation.
Why would she need a wardrobe change?
Seems unlikely to me, but I wont rule it out.)
(Remember, this was an argument that basically led to their breakup!
Guess he thought it was more important to preserve the surprise?!?
Everyone is so dumb!)
I guess this means more pointless performances in season four?
hey dont silo her in some boring musical plot again!!
Emily and Nico bury the hatchet, much to my dismay (they were compelling adversaries!
), but I guess now we have another Nico-Benoit-Mindy triangle thing ahead of us, whichsigh.
Theres the chapel where we were wed. No pressure!
!The important thing, she says, is that her plan worked.
Camille holds the line: Our secrets keep us close.
Well, thats one way to look at it!
Camille insists that Sofia was a fling and its over.
Just like you and Gabriel, right?
Luc calls Emily to tell her the good news about how Gabriel is on his way to getting thatMichelinstar.
He is very giddy.
Lets get to the chapel, baby!
As they say their vows, Camille has a breakdown.
IMAGINE someone just whispering You dont have to do thiswhile you are marrying them.
(My only real issue with this scene is that they would be speaking in French.
But maybe Camille is speaking English because she doesnt want Emily to misunderstand?
Okay, Ive talked myself into the English.
Thanks for joining me on that journey.)
And then she explains the pact.
All caps in my notes:ARE WE REALLY GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE FUCKING PACT AGAIN?
WHEN WILL THIS LONG INTERNATIONAL NIGHTMARE BE OVER?
?Camille accuses Gabriel and Emily of being in love from day one.
Its time we all just stopped pretending.
She also yells at her mom.
The passion is FANTASTIC.
Where has this been?!
Camille, be mean more often!!
Naturally, in jilting Gabriel, Camille causes some collateral damage: Alfie and Emilys relationship.
Im nobodys second choice, says Alfie as he dumps her.
TWO dramatic exits from church.
I would actually kill to be at a wedding with this much drama.
Emily and Gabriel find each other alone.
Her dopey clown shoes are really killing the mood for me, but Gabriel does not seem to notice.
And finally we learn what the Greece conversation was about: Camille is pregnant.
The more I think about this twist, the more disappointing I find it.
This is the second time this show is relying on an unplanned pregnancy to move the plot forward.
Two times in three seasons?
We cant think ofanything elsethat could happen to a woman?
(Are we really convinced that, given the circumstances, Camille wouldkeepthis pregnancy?
Will this show even allow Camille to humor that possibility?
I am FILLED WITH DREAD over this!!)
Also, just given how this show handled Madelines pregnancy, I am … not optimistic.
Lets talk about a twist that really DOES work: Laurent and Sylvies big news.
Laurent is opening a private club in Paris.
Sylvie can help him bring in the fashion crowd.
Theyre such a great team!
Good thing they never got around to getting that divorce!
), Laurent reveals who his mystery investor is: Louis de Leon.
For someone I care about!
Something to hold on to until season four.
