Emily in Paris Season 4 Introduces a Rival: The Show’s Biggest Drama Yet as Emily Faces New Competition for Gabriel

Spoiler Alert: Emily in Paris Season 4, Part 2 Recap

Darren Star’s Emily in Paris returns with its signature blend of charm and chaos as Season 4, Part 2 introduces Emily’s first true rival in the City of Light. Despite her many blunders over the seasons, from misreading French dates to the infamous love triangle with Gabriel and Camille, Emily always manages to bounce back—until now.

Enter Genevieve, the newly discovered daughter of Sylvie’s husband and Emily’s latest coworker. At first glance, she seems like a promising addition to Agence Grateau, but things take a turn when she sets her sights on Gabriel, the man Emily just broke up with. As tensions rise between Emily and Gabriel, Genevieve takes advantage of a heated moment, manipulating the situation by mistranslating Gabriel’s words, telling Emily he wants nothing to do with her.

This sneaky move shifts the dynamic for the rest of the season. Genevieve’s determination to snatch Gabriel leads to a complicated web of jealousy, deception, and unspoken feelings. While Emily attempts to move on with a new Italian love interest, Genevieve continues her pursuit, only to be politely turned down by Gabriel, who clearly still has feelings for Emily.

In a dramatic twist, Emily’s career takes an unexpected detour—she’s off to Rome! As we see her zoom off on the back of a Vespa with her new beau, fans are left wondering: Will Gabriel follow her to Italy to win her back? While Genevieve’s mean-girl tactics ultimately fall short, her arrival has stirred up some much-needed drama, hinting that Emily in Paris might be moving toward a slightly edgier direction.

And the burning question remains—will Emily in Paris soon become Emily in Rome?
