Emily In Paris appears to finally have found its footing in the seventh episode of season one!
Emily (Lily Collins) is walking to work and spies Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) shopping, so the pair end up walking together and it appears Sylvie will be off next week. Emily offers to help with the Fourtier party, but naturally Sylvie isn’t a fan until she says Emily can babysit Brooklyn Clark, the American actress.
Julien (Samuel Arnold) gives Brooklyn’s itinerary to Emily when Julien and Luc (Bruno Gouery) say Brooklyn’s romantic comedy movies are seen as dishonest in France. Apparently they prefer more of a French ending, such as they die, lose a limb, or someone is actually a lesbian. Later on, Emily arrives at the hotel and meets Brooklyn (Carlson Young) and says she’ll use her connections with Pierre Cadault to get her something to wear for the launch.
That night, Emily has dinner with Mindy (Ashley Park) and Camille (Camille Razat) at Gabriel’s restaurant and she invites them all to the party. However, Mindy and Camille are busy, but Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) is free and it seems Gabriel’s boss has agreed to sell Gabriel the restaurant. Unfortunately the payment is too much for Gabriel and he appears to be uncomfortable about borrowing the money from Camille’s parents.
The next day, Brooklyn views and tries the outfits on at Pierre Cadault’s when Mathieu Cadault (Charles Martins) thinks Emily is Brooklyn and she introduces herself correctly. However, Mathieu informs her that he is the head of business affairs and so the deal with his uncle might not stand. He decides to give Savoir a one-month trial and that’s it.
At the event, Emily signs an insurance waiver for the two million euro watch when she sees that Antoine Lambert (William Abadie) and his wife Catherine are there. Gabriel also arrives and when Antoine approaches, Emily asks for Gabriel to put his arm around her. Sylvie and Catherine join them and the latter mentions perhaps they should have dinner at Gabriel’s restaurant. She thinks Antoine has they get back as she thinks they are going away to St. Barts after Antoine’s assistant copied her in on an email, but the trip is actually with Sylvie. Emily goes after Sylvie to check if she’s okay, but she leaves.
Emily and Gabriel see Brooklyn driving off with the watch and they find her at a club. They share a drink, Brooklyn takes some Molly, and Emily and Gabriel end up kissing again. When she checks her phone, she sees multiple missed calls from Fourtier and they need the watch back straight away, but they can’t find her.
Gabriel and Emily hop on a Vespa and return to Brooklyn’s hotel, so they wait at the bar for her. Sylvie arrives and gains access to Brooklyn’s suite, which is trashed, but they find the watch. As they exit the hotel, Gabriel is there to take Emily home, but she tells him that she wants it all and they shouldn’t see each other anymore.
The next day, Emily’s photo she snapped of Pierre Cadault’s dress on Brooklyn’s floor has received over 200K likes and Mathieu thinks she can make the brand sexy again.
