We have marabou feathers.

We have a long-sleeve crop top with cutouts that is pink with hearts all over.

We have a velvet headband, which actually Im not opposed to.

We have absolutely enormous platform heels.

Her morning routine is intriguing to me shestartswith filing her nails?

In the grand tradition of emotionally unraveling women the world over, Emily cuts her own bangs.

(Remember that timewe found out shed been using dog shampoo?

Emilys plastic locks defy the laws of physics, of nature, of space-time, etc.)

She is very into beingloyalto Emily, get it?!?!?

So now thatshes won back her boyfriend, why is she being nice to Emily?

Am I to believe she genuinelylikesEmily?

Or is this stillfauxfriendship with some ulterior motive we dont know about yet?

Emily insists to Mindy that she is focusing on Alfie and hassooomuch to figure out.

Mindy, correctly, says there is nothing to figure out except your rail pass and your birth control.

They have a meeting with Maison Lavaux, which is news to Emily!

Madeline wants to franchise Gabriels restaurant which I think has been open for … three months?

Maybe see if the restaurant survives the winter before you roll expanding?

Empower them to do what?

Emily gets a call from Doug.

Doug reports that McDonalds is looking for a French marketing agency for their McBaguette.

McDonalds gets such glowing treatment in this episode I have to believe this is all product placement, right?

Sylvies little upstart agency is operating out of her apartment.

Big Shut the Door, Have a Seat energy.

Sylvie is wearing a great pair of high-waisted pants and a tangerine top.

(The only baguettes Im interested in are diamonds.)

And then, what do you know: Antoine and Gabriel show up.

Emilys not the only one shopping around, I see.

I have to wonder if anyone on this show has ever spent any time with her??

Through mysterious forces (the wind?)

her hair does seem to be improving.

Sometimes people cut bangs when everything is fine!

Frankly they talk like people who not only have never had sex but have never even met.

(Not to nitpick but: Wouldnt it make more sense for Alfie to be leaving the dayaftertomorrow?

Like why would the going-away party be at 8 p.m. on the night of his departure?)

In French class, Emily learns about existentialism and Sarte.

(I love when her teacher tells her, No one said existentialism was helpful.)

Alfie crashes, mostly to look very hot in his banker suit.

I appreciate your service, Alfie.

Emily is constitutionally incapable of talking about anything except for work.

A perfectly reasonable request!

And is it hard to tell your mentor that youre moving on to another workplace?

Is anyone on this show not an idiot?

like help Sylvie deserves better!

So she just sets herself up to be inexcusably late to the partysheplanned forherboyfriend?

Emily is dressed in her dream-sequence pink-feather situation.

Sylvie is in a little glitter cape.

She wants Emily to see her as a mentor.

Wasnt he here for, like, a year?)

and, for some reason, Antoine.

Good for these gents, I guess.

Mindy is in attendance, wearing bedazzled jean shorts.

Every time we leave to go hang out with her, it just … makes no sense.

Sylvie is having none of it, as is correct, and fires her.
