Season 3 of Emily in Paris starts with Emily Cooper torn between staying with Madeline (Kate Walsh) at Savoir or joining Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) at the new indie agency, Agence Grateau.
Emily struggles with this choice, jumping between the two options until a disaster with McDonald’s—where Madeline’s water breaks—leads Sylvie to cut Emily from the team.

Luc (Bruno Gouery) and Julien (Samuel Arnold) are happy to have Emily return, but she sometimes gets too involved in their work. After a campaign for Julien’s client, Ami Paris goes wrong, Emily steps in to fix things.
Her enthusiasm leads her to overlap Julien’s ideas, causing Sylvie to warn her to hold back. Julien becomes frustrated and starts emailing a mysterious employer, hinting he might leave Agence Grateau.
