More Detail:
Episode 4 deals with Emily and Gabriel’s struggle to be alone with each other. Camille and her girlfriend Sofia are living with Gabrielle, and Emily is starting to feel like she’s in a relationship with all three. Elsewhere, Sylvie scrambles to reorganize the launch party for her husband’s new club after JVMA, headed by Louis de Leon, pulls its funding in retaliation for Sylvie’s role in the article. After asking for her mother’s help, Sylvie puts on a successful launch party. Camille arrives at the party and tells Emily she and Sofia are moving out of Gabriel’s apartment—one door over.
In Episode 5, Emily and Sylvie find themselves indebted to Luc’s girlfriend, Marianne, a Michelin inspector. Emily wants her to give Gabriel’s restaurant a Michelin star, while Sylvie wants a reservation at a swanky restaurant to celebrate her husband’s birthday. However, complications ensue when they discover Marianne has been lying about being a Michelin inspector.
Meanwhile, Camille and Sofia fight over decorating their new apartment; Camille wants to turn a spare room into the baby’s nursery, while Sofia wants it to be an art studio. Camille also accuses Sofia of not wanting the baby, and Sofia leaves to go back to Greece. Later, Camille goes to the doctor, who tells her she was never pregnant, and her test was a false positive. After learning that Gabriel is not getting a Michelin star, Camille decides not to tell Gabriel she isn’t pregnant, as she doesn’t want him to face another disappointment.
Episode 6 follows the characters as they prepare to celebrate Christmas. Emily’s plans to go home to Chicago are ruined when her flight gets canceled. She joins Gabriel, celebrating the holiday with Camille and her family, something he has done for years. Emily and Camille both feel insecure in their relationship with Gabriel, and Emily ends up breaking things off with him, as she knows he needs to focus on being a family with Camille, who still hasn’t revealed she was never pregnant.
In Paris, Sylvie is troubled to learn that her husband’s daughter Geneviève is considering moving there. After accidentally ruining her job interview, Sylvie offers Geneviève a job at her marketing agency. Meanwhile, Mindy struggles with her growing attraction to bandmate Benoit. Emily returns to Paris, where she runs into ex-boyfriend Alfie, who reveals he’s moved on and has a new girlfriend.
Like previous seasons, EMILY IN PARIS has a high production value. Every episode is wonderfully shot and features fun fashion and beautiful filming locations around France. The plotlines are interesting, and each character of the large ensemble cast shines.
Overall, Episodes 4-6 of EMILY IN PARIS’ fourth season have a moral worldview. The characters focus on being good friends and supporting each other, and Gabriel is often praised for his commitment to being a father to his unborn child. However, the episodes contain some foul language, same-sex couples, frequent alcohol use, and many sexual jokes. The sex act is never shown but is talked about and joked about frequently.
