Emily In Paris Recap: 1.05 ‘Faux Amis’

Well, things are certainly getting interesting in Emily In Paris!

Emily (Lily Collins) meets with Mindy (Ashley Park) to tell her about Gabriel and Camille when Camille (Camille Razat) joins them at the cafe. Mindy snaps a picture of them, and Emily now has over 20K followers. Afterwards, Emily receives an exclusive invitation to an influencer lunch for Durée’s Cosmetics, but when Emily tells Julien (Samuel Arnold), he says Durée is a touchy subject as they used to be a client. Emily goes to Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) to try and get more information about Durée, but she gets kicked out, along with an assignment for a luxury bed company.

Arriving at her lunch, Emily wants to speak with Olivia Thompson, the CMO of Durée, but she’ll have to work to get her attention by posting on social media. Next thing we know, Olivia loves Emily’s post and speaks with Emily about her Vaga-Jeune. Emily begins speaking of Durée’s marketing and she’s invited to a lunch the following day.

Upon arriving home, she runs into Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and Camille, and the latter invites her to join them. The three end up at Atelier des Lumières to admire Van Gogh’s work when Camille goes off to speak with her friends, which leaves Emily and Gabriel to speak of the kiss that now never happened.

The next day at Savoir, Emily is part of the meeting with Hästens and the representative isn’t a fan of Sylvie’s idea, so Emily pitches hers. She suggests they place their beds in gorgeous places such as the Louvre and ask people to post their photos, instead of using models. Later that day, Emily has her lunch with Olivia, who asks if she’ll be Durée’s brand ambassador, but Emily tells her that she already works at Savoir. Olivia isn’t interested as Sylvie still works there, even after Emily continues to pitch to her.

Returning to Savoir, Sylvie informs Emily that Hästens wants to go ahead with Emily’s idea, but Sylvie isn’t thrilled with her attendance at the Durée lunch and asks Emily to delete her account.

This leads Emily to meet with Mindy and they decide to end her account with a bang by visiting various places in Paris, including the Moulin Rouge and the Eiffel Tower. After deleting her account, Emily drunkenly returns home and runs into Gabriel, and he says he felt something between them too.

The next day, Sylvie asks Emily to show her the last picture she posted, so she reactivates the account and shows her the photo at Place Dalida. It seems that Hästens wants to place the bed there and to have Emily be the first one to post.

With the installation all set up at Place Dalida, Camille visits Emily at the Hästens bed and she says Camille inspired her. The pair snap a picture with #getinbedwithus and Gabriel immediately likes it.

Overall Thoughts?

This episode had a better flow and an overall better feel as I noted there to be a bit more music, which helped the scenes to be more cohesive. It still feels somewhat off, but the characters are obviously becoming more developed and thus more interesting, especially with Camille and Emily growing close, along with Gabriel admitting his feelings for Emily. Could it be leading to a possible threesome between them? We shall see…
