Emily In Paris | Season 5

 

"La Dolce Emily"

On her first day managing the Agence Grateau office in Rome, Sylvie decides they need to have more clients than just Muratori, starting with Bavazza. Gabriel arrives in Rome and sees Marcello and Emily kiss, upsetting him. Sylvie notices this and invites him to lunch. Emily gets to meet Marcello's sisters, but they consider Emily a gold digger. Antonia, Marcello's mother, tells Emily she only partnered with Agence Grateau to have JVMA lose interest. Mindy and Alfie start connecting romantically after their respective recent breakups. Sylvie re-encounters an old friend of hers, Princess Jane, who organizes a welcome party at her palace to help Sylvie gain new clients. Emily proposes re-branding Antoine's "Hello Bébé" baby fragrance as a signature scent for the Muratori brand. All parties seem on board with the idea, with Antonia and Antoine flirting while they dance at the end of the episode.

"Got to be Real"

For Bavazzi's launch party, Emily gets Mindy hired as a performer, though she's hesitant to perform in a colossal cocktail. Genevieve tells Julien that Mindy and Alfie are together, as she saw them hooking up by Gabriel's restaurant. Antoine has Alfie fly out to Rome for the fragrance launch. Lucy, one of Marcello's ex-girlfriends, warns Emily not to get too attached to him. Mindy is conflicted about getting close to Alfie, knowing he is Emily's ex. Laurent arrives in Rome to see Sylvie together with Giancarlo, her Roman fling. Emily, upset after seeing Marcello talk to several women from his past, tells him that she feels what they have is not real. To prove Emily wrong, Marcello buys her a real Fendi purse (unlike her vintage Baguette bag which turned out to be fake), to show her that she has been real to him since the beginning.

"Intimissimi Issues"

Emily is given a lingerie brand to work with, Intimissi. Alfie helps Mindy, who is struggling with a dance routine for popular Italian television show "Ballando Ballando Ballando". The pair share a kiss, but Mindy stops it and insists they can't have a holiday fling. The dance goes horribly wrong when Mindy's partner tells her in Italian not to do the final leap due to his back pain, but she attempts it anyway due to not understanding him and they both tumble on the floor. Mindy sleeps with Alfie, and when Emily calls her the following morning, she has to keep Alfie quiet in bed. Meanwhile, Sylvie and Giancarlo's on set squabbles drive their production off script and he quits the commercial. Sylvie, now in charge of directing the advertisement, won't let anyone see the final edit. She eventually tells Emily, freaking out and fearing she ruined the campaign, which causes Emily to be nervous as well.

"Rome Has Fallen"

The official launch of Muratori Paradiso takes place. Influencers and social media creators are invited who will, in return, then share a post about the brand at the end of the night. Sylvie braces for premiere day criticism, unsure if the commercial edited by her turned out well, but Emily still thinks it's good. Emily sneakily sends the ad film off Sylvie's phone to herself and showcases it, and it's liked by the audience. Giancarlo proposes a relationship to Sylvie, but she realizes she wants to be with Laurent. Antonia fires Emily after Solitano becomes infested with tourists. Marianne visits Luc and is discovered by his other love interest Bianca, who fires him, ending business with Bavazzi in both Rome and Paris. Marcello reveals to Emily he never stopped negotiating with JVMA. Emily, hurt that Marcello kept the negotiations a secret, questions his faith in her and she leaves Solitano without speaking to him and ignores his messages. Sylvie makes the decision to close the Agence Grateau office in Rome and return to Paris, saddening Emily as she was hoping to manage it. The end of the episode shows Princess Jane was the one who shared Solitano's location during a livestream.

"Bonjour Paris!"

Emily returns to Paris and is asked by Sylvie to act as a mediator between Antoine and Gabriel, who are having differences about their restaurant's menu: Gabriel wants to try something new but Antoine insists on sticking with what got them a Michelin Star. Mindy asks Alfie to tell Emily about their relationship, and they plan to do it at a dinner but Mindy ends up swerving the conversation. Nico returns and looks to get back with Mindy, revealing he has left JVMA, his family's wealth and wants to prove he has changed his ways. Mindy has second thoughts on getting back with him. Sylvie unexpectedly becomes a plus one at home and isn't pleased when Laurent's "girlfriend" wears her robe. Sylvie has Emily fire Genevieve, and she blurts out to Emily that Mindy and Alfie have been seeing each other, and that Julien knew too. Gabriel quits at the restaurant to work with Thomas Heatherington, one of Agence Grateau's clients, on his yacht travelling around the world.

"The One Where Emily Goes to the Embassy"

Mindy moves out from Emily's apartment and stays with Julien after Emily snaps at the Alfie situation, questioning how she can ever trust Mindy again. Antoine is looking for Gabriel's replacement at the restaurant, and Emily suggests a competition between chefs. Sylvie gets Emily to set up a social media account for her so she can spy on her former best friend turned enemy Yvette. The pair reconnect and quickly pick up where they left off, although some tension still remains. Emily meets Jake, an American who works as a consular officer at the American Embassy in Paris. Nostalgic for a taste of home, she accepts his invitation to the Fourth of July party at his workplace and thoroughly enjoys herself. Emily and Mindy reconcile, as Mindy gets back with Nico and moves back in with her, much to the delight of Julien. Their friendship inspires Sylvie with an idea for L'Oréal, and it is approved.

"Second Chances"

Marcello is in Paris and announces during Sylvie's panel that he is launching his own fashion brand "Marcello Muratori", separating himself from the Muratori family's business. Yvette unsuccessfully tries to set up Sylvie with a Swiss chocolatier at her dinner party. Sylvie leaves and meets a new fling outside a nearby tabac, a man younger than her, and they begin an amorous relationship. Agence Grateau starts working with a luxury water brand that has bad PR due to a homophobic backstory, and a new rebrand is suggested in order to stay afloat. Mindy tells Emily to stop running away from things, and she finally speaks with Marcello, reconciling with him.

"Fashion Statement"

Emily is trying to help Nico and Marcello with their business, and she cleverly charms the dog of a designer called Noah well enough to score a meeting with and hire him. Tension between Mindy and Alfie arises as he begins a financial consultancy role to help out with Nico and Marcello's venture. Neither Alfie or Mindy can forget their past connection. Sylvie is appalled when she discovers Beau, her new fling, turns out to be her friend Yvette's son. The launch of "Marcello Muratori" doesn't go well as Antonia sues her son Marcello for trademark infringement and Noah consequently bails on the project. After Emily learns Marcello did the sketches himself, she encourages him to be the designer.

"La Belle Époque"

Emily contacts Pierre Cadault, who offers an atelier to help Marcello design. He also offers an opportunity to participate in the Venice Fashion Week, but there is a sharp two-week turnaround. Marcello becomes discouraged when his sister Livia arrives and says his collection is not good, asking Emily to cancel his participation in the coveted showcase. Gabriel arrives in Paris and reunites with Emily for lunch, asking her to hand him some knives he had left. Gabriel shares with Emily that he followed her to Rome and saw her with Marcello. They reminisce about old times and he wishes her to be happy - Emily reciprocates. Sylvie learns from her mother that Laurent has severe financial issues - he ran two nightclubs into the ground and borrowed money against Sylvie's mother's property. Enraged, Sylvie asks for a divorce. Marcello changes his mind, thanks Emily for always believing in him even when he didn't and tells her that they are going to Venice.

"Veni, Vidi, Venezia"

In Venice, Emily finds an engagement ring in Marcello's bag and is slightly disheartened as he doesn't imminently propose. The fashion show is almost ruined with a high tide, and another venue can't be booked, so rain boots and raincoats are bought and given to guests in order to salvage the show. Antonia arrives at the show, drops the lawsuit, congratulates Marcello and names him the "House of Muratori" successor. Sylvie learns that even divorcing Laurent won't help her as her assets will be frozen as well, meaning Agence Grateau will be sold or liquidated. She tells Julien and Luc to look for new jobs, but doesn't tell Emily. Alfie calls Mindy asking to talk to her when she returns to Paris, but she gets engaged to Nico and it turns out that the ring Marcello was keeping was for him. During the proposal, Emily reveals that she can't marry Marcello as her life is in Paris; he was planning for them to move to Solitano. They break up after realizing that they both want different things. Alfie finds out about the engagement, clearly disappointed, and Mindy realizes she has feelings for him. Emily arrives back at Agence Grateau and learns that Princess Jane is now an equity partner, a move taken to help save the business. Sylvie texts Gabriel, telling him Emily is back in Paris and is no longer with Marcello, and to do with that information what he pleases. After being given a few weeks off work by Thomas, Gabriel sends Emily a postcard from the yacht asking her to meet him in Greece.
