Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I have to admit that I love it there, but seeing Emily back in Paris, I wonder if she really is going to be okay there. Rome Emily was different and I really was seeing that part of her and loving it. I loved that she trusted in her life there. Emily In Paris Season 5, Episode 5<\/a><\/strong> brings us back to Paris, but we\u2019re missing Rome. <\/p>\n

Her life in Paris feels meh, but she tells Mindy that she\u2019s okay being back \u2013 she gets to spend time with her. That\u2019s something that she\u2019s happy about. After all, it\u2019s been awhile since they\u2019ve been single together. <\/p>\n

Only Mindy is not single. She\u2019s lying to you Emily. She\u2019s hiding stuff. <\/p>\n

I have a feeling that everything is about to change. \u00a0<\/p>\n

YOUR OWN APARTMENT<\/p>\n

There is not a part of me that doesn\u2019t feel bad for Sylvie, but also I have to remember that she and her husband set their relationship up this way. They\u2019ve always allowed each other to have other people in their marriage, but Laurant definitely crosses a line with having one at Sylvies and in her bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her return from Rome is early, yes. But he should have never had a woman in her apartment and definitely not in Sylvie\u2019s clothes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It only gets worse. Sylvie has every reason to be upset, as the next day she finds a contact case and gives it to Laurent. He then proposes a threesome with his girlfriend. Men sometimes have audacity. Well, a lot of audacity. He definitely does.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sylvie is seeing her worth and that she knows what he means to her now. The issue is that when people change, it doesn\u2019t mean that everyone will. Laurent hasn\u2019t \u2013 he\u2019s still hurt by Rome and Sylvie with Giancarlo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BONJOUR, BITCH!<\/p>\n

Back in Paris, the team heads back into the office and one person that sets things off automatically is Geneive. Julian reprimands her for leaving a mess. I had to laugh when she acted like she\u2019s been so busy that she couldn\u2019t keep up. It\u2019s like girl, we all know you can\u2019t even do your job.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She has thought more about herself than anyone else. She screws everything up and, like her father, is extremely selfish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She\u2019s started a hat brand and the hats all say \u201cbonjour, bitch!\u201d and I am definitely embarrassed for her. It feels as though she is radiating desperate, but she truly is. She\u2019s more focused on that then setting up the Zoom meeting that they have with Thomas Heatherton.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Heatherton is the CEO of a hotel chain. He is quite picky and is uptight. The idea that they\u2019ve had and that his company had signed off \u2013 he wants pivoted on. Emily chimes in with a different idea \u2013 that they have actual stores from around neighborhoods in Paris come in. The people that really make up Paris.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emily and the team head into Sylvie\u2019s office to talk about Genevieve. They all know she\u2019s a nepo baby and she needs to go. But Sylvie admits that it\u2019s not easy, she\u2019s there and its complicated. Genevieve is just like her Dad \u2013 causing issues for Sylvie wherever she goes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

THE CHEF WHISPERER\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gabriel and Emily really haven\u2019t seen each other since she\u2019s been back, but Sylvie wants her to go and talk to Gabriel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emilie can\u2019t avoid talking to Gabriel forever. Even though Emily knows that they\u00a0 haven\u2019t talked in a while, I believe she knows that they aren\u2019t going to be able to walk away from each other forever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emily may think that talking to Gabriel may not be the best idea, but I think we all know she\u2019s the only person he really listens to. Gabriel and Antoine are arguing over changes to the menu. Sylvie tells her that even if he doesn\u2019t call you a friend right now, he\u2019s still a client so go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Antoine and Gabriel are fighting when Emily arrives. Gabriel is surprised to see her. With him and Antoine fighting, she\u2019s trying to find a balance. Antoine doesn\u2019t want to hear about plant based cooking. He likes the menu as is, and believes that they need to stick with that. Antoine tells him that if he wants to change it \u2013 then he\u2019ll find a new chef.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I believe that Antoine doesn\u2019t like that he is being challenged. When he\u2019s challenged, he fights back (as anyone does). Gabriel doesn\u2019t care about Antoine\u2019s threats, as they are comical to him. He knows that he can get another job.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t believe that Antoine thinks that anyone will leave him. He has delusions of grandeur. It is not to say that he\u2019s not a successful man. He just needs to learn to talk to others and really work with them. Emily may be a go between, but she can not be the go between forever. These men need to grow up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gabriel is surprised to know that Emily is back for good. Whatever happens between them, we\u2019ll have to wait and see. Her being back in Paris will change her \u2013 and I am kinda scared of that for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

THE CRAZY HORSE<\/p>\n

Mindy is at the Crazy Horse, performing again. I am so happy for her that she\u2019s doing just that, because we know that performing is her life. Knowing that she\u2019s getting to do that, but also that Emily is there makes me happy. Besties supporting besties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the lies that make me mad and as usual, lying is what Mindy and Alfie are doing. Alfie sneaks off, texts Mindy, and then she lies to Emily and says that she needs to stay late. They are both lying to Emily and if you have to lie this much, you should know what you are doing is wrong.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two agree to take Emily to dinner the next night and tell her what is going on with them. Alfie tells her that Emily will be happy for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She may have been, but no one is going to be happy with this many lies being told.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CAUSING MORE ISSUES<\/p>\n

Genevieve is combative and she\u2019s really bad at being an assistant. She is argumentative ont eh phone when Emily walks in and Emily reminds her to transfer that call to Sylvie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Turns out that Genevieve didn\u2019t get Heatherton\u2019s chef a visa. While Heatherton is angry, Emily suggests Gabriel and Heatherton says book him. Sylvie reminds her this could backfire and Antoine and Gabriel could be pushed further apart,\u00a0<\/p>\n

I think that different points of view are great, but these men are never going to be happy. Instead they are going to be combative and they are going to always find issue. Emily should listen to Sylvie, because she does understand French men better.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If there is anyone who can talk Gabriel into doing things, it is Emily. She pulls the angle that he can do his updated menu, and that this will stick it to Antoine and make him jealous. Heatherton is richer than Antoine and owns rocketships. I had to laugh when Gabriel asked if he really did and Emily says, \u201che announces a new business venture, he goes into space for 11 minutes and then announces it there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gabriel agreeing is exciting, because you know he\u2019s excited to try his new menu. I really am interested in Gabriel growing as a character.\u00a0<\/p>\n

HE\u2019S BACK\u00a0<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about all of you, but part of being a best friend is hating the man that would dare hurt your bestie. So Nico showing up and running into Emily? Our girl Emily handles this one so correctly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nico stops Emily, saying she came to see her. Emily automatically assumes it had to do with Muratori, but it\u2019s not that. He\u2019s there to talk to her and wants her to deliver a message. Emily is a girls girl \u2013 the answer to that is absolutely no. Nico ruined Eurovision for Mindy and that is unforgivable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emily does know how to twist the knife, telling Nico that Mindy has moved on and is doing great. There is one mistake she makes \u2013 she tells him that she\u2019s back at the Crazy Horse. It\u2019s a mistake because Nico shows up and Emily is definitely like nope. She tells him be gone and he tells her that he\u2019s going to prove that he\u2019s changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This whole thing leads Mindy to not being able to tell Emily what is going on because she\u2019s not in a frame of mind to do it. I can see why it makes Alfie mad, but he\u2019s also got to understand that at Nico showed up and she\u2019s not in the right state of mind. If his ex showed up wouldn\u2019t it rattle him?\u00a0<\/p>\n

But I can also get why it is that he feels threatened by the experience.\u00a0 Alfie is being a dick and says to Mindy, \u201cwhy don\u2019t we just save everybody the trouble and pretend like this never happened.\u201d Mindy tells him that she didn\u2019t say that, but Alfie returns that with a mean answer and says, \u201coh well I just did.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE HAT BAG<\/p>\n

The event at the Heatherton launch seems to be going well. Emily and Sylvie are doing a better job communicating than they ever have. Heatherton even mentions that he didn\u2019t get to approve the menu, but he loves it. His entire brand is based off sustainability. Emily takes him to meet Gabriel and while this shouldn\u2019t be a big thing, I have a feeling this is where it all starts to change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mindy is at the event and Julian mentions he didn\u2019t know she was singing that night. Only she isn\u2019t. She\u2019s there to enjoy the night. It\u2019s then that Julian shows her an article that Nico has left JVMA. She guesses that he was serious \u2013 he really was going to change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luc tells Genevieve to stop putting her hats in bags. Sylvie will have her head for this. Does Genevieve listen? No. She thinks that she\u2019s untouchable because of her Dad. That may have been true before your Dad offered up a possible threesome to Sylvie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Antoine is there and is enjoying the dinner. Sylvie tells him that it is Gabriel\u2019s cooking. It\u2019s when she sees her stepdaughters hats in influencers hands, she looses it. She tells Emily that she has to fire Genevieve. Emily was smart and dumb to say that is not part of what she is supposed to be doing. Sylvie promotes her to \u201cvice president in charge of firing useless stepchildren.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is not going to be good.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"Emily in Paris. Samuel Arnold as Julien in episode 505 of Emily in Paris. Cr. Caroline Dubois\/Netflix \u00a9 2025<\/p>\n

JULIAN KNEW\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Emily goes to fire Genevieve, she gets reminded of the nepo baby syndrome that she has.\u00a0 Genevieve doesn\u2019t think that Sylvie would let this happen, but Emily remarks that Sylvie sent her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And well, being hurt, the spawn of the devil tells Emily off. She tells Emily that she can\u2019t see what is going on right under nose. It\u2019s then when the subject of Mindy and Alfie comes up. Emily doesn\u2019t want to believe it and I don\u2019t blame her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finding the truth out from people you don\u2019t want to hear it from is never easy. Mindy should have told her, because hearing it from Genevieve is the worst case scenario. Then hearing that Julian knew made the sting worse. The difference is Julian didn\u2019t want to hurt Emily, but him unsure of what to say, he ushers Genevieve right out of the building.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I can totally understand how Emily feels betrayed, because I\u2019ve had this happen to me. Mindy doesn\u2019t know she knows when she comes to ask Emily advice about if she should talk to Nico. Emily\u2019s response was epic \u2013 it depended on if Alfie and her were exclusive, or if it was just sex.\u00a0<\/p>\n

YACHT CHEF\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emily is walking and she sees Gabriel and Antoine. It seemed as though the two were working things out, but it turns out Antoine was just wishing him well. Gabriel is leaving Paris. Heatherton offered him a job on his yacht.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s strange to see Gabriel so happy to leave. Like Emily tells him \u2013 we never thought we\u2019d see him leave Paris. He\u2019d never thought it of her either. But you just never know what would happen and will happen. He need to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gabriel leaving is not something that we thought would happen but it is for the best. His character will never grow if he stays in the same place. But I am also glad he\u2019s going because I think that Emily needs some space to find herself. It\u2019s just that she\u2019s being hit with one thing after another and that is a lot for anyone to deal with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been one thing after another for Emily. I don\u2019t know how much more she can be expected to take.<\/p>\n
