And what about Camille’s (Camille Razat) surprising pregnancy announcement? Season 4 starts with familiar high drama: broken relationships and a mysterious disappearance of Camille. As the five-episode arc unfolds, Emily is faced with an incredibly difficult choice between two lovers, Gabriel and Alfie.
Gabriel continues his quest for culinary excellence by auditioning numerous pastry chefs, while Camille finds herself reconnecting with her beloved Greek artist. The season concludes with heart-wrenching moments and intriguing hints about what’s to come in Part 2 next month.
Who Does Emily Choose in Season 4, Part 1?
With Gabriel and Camille’s wedding plans completely in disarray, Emily is left to salvage what remains of her personal relationships. Camille’s suggestion that Emily and Gabriel are still in love creates a significant rift between Emily and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount).
Despite Emily’s efforts to repair her bond with Alfie, she finds herself increasingly drawn back to Gabriel’s charm. This tension culminates at Antoine’s (William Abadie) Heartbreak masquerade ball, where both men declare their love and commitment to Emily.
Alfie’s intense feelings lead him to kiss Emily, but the ball’s costume mix-up results in a humiliating situation for him. Meanwhile, Emily and Gabriel’s connection deepens, culminating in a romantic carriage scene and a memorable rooftop meeting.
By the end of Part 1, their relationship is stronger than ever, even though they are navigating a complex situation with Camille, who is expecting Gabriel’s child.
Will Gabriel Get a Michelin Star in Emily in Paris?
In Season 3’s finale, a slip from Luc (Bruno Gouery) reveals that his girlfriend, Marianne (Laurence Gormezano), is secretly a Michelin star food critic. This revelation suggests that Gabriel might be on the verge of earning the prestigious star.
Throughout Season 4, Gabriel works tirelessly towards this goal, auditioning various pastry chefs and experimenting with their creations. However, complications arise when a dinner involving Luc, Marianne, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu), and Laurent (Arnaud Binard) goes terribly wrong.
Sylvie asks Luc to leverage Marianne’s Michelin connections to get a table at a highly sought-after restaurant. Marianne, using this opportunity to ask for a raise, ends up coercing staff at several restaurants for favors. This leads to her exposure as a fraud by a Michelin inspector who reveals she has been fired for a year.
The scandal forces Sylvie to cover the bill, and Gabriel learns that he is further from achieving the Michelin star than he had hoped. Instead of succumbing to despair, Gabriel hosts a party and hands out free drinks, claiming relief from the pressure. Season 4, Part 2 might show how he copes with this reality.
Camille’s Hidden Truth in Emily in Paris Season 4
Meanwhile, Camille deals with her own relationship challenges involving Sofia (Melia Krieling). After returning from an artistic retreat that left her family believing she was missing, Camille, Gabriel, and Sofia address the affair openly.
Camille starts to settle into her new relationship, but decorating their apartment reveals significant differences in their life goals. Sofia, focused on her art, feels uncomfortable living so close to Gabriel and wishes to move back to Greece.
Camille, expecting a baby, is keen on setting up a nursery and building a family. Despite their love, they experience a tearful breakup when Sofia decides to leave. Camille’s troubles continue when she visits a doctor due to concerns about spotting during her pregnancy.
The devastating news is that Camille was never pregnant; the positive test was likely due to medication, and her missed periods were probably caused by stress.
Camille is heartbroken and struggles with how to tell Gabriel, especially when he is so happy about other aspects of his life. As she declines champagne, it seems she might continue pretending to be pregnant in Part 2.
What’s Next in Emily in Paris Season 4 Part 2?
Season 4 has several ongoing storylines that will continue to unfold in Part 2. The season hints at a troubled past between Sylvie and Louis de Leon (Pierre Deny), a head of a luxury conglomerate.

Sylvie is approached by a news reporter to share her story but initially resists. Emily’s urging leads Sylvie to speak out, revealing Louis’ inappropriate behavior. Sylvie’s story impacts her work and the rivalry between her and Louis. The fallout also affects Mindy’s (Ashley Park) relationship with Nicolas (Paul Forman), Louis’ son.
Nicolas eventually stands up against his father, leading to pressure on Louis to step down. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Mindy and her ex, Benoit (Kevin Dias), as they perform a duet with undeniable chemistry.
