Warning! SPOILERS for Emily in Paris season 3 finale.Netflix’s Emily in Paris season 3’s ending included shocking revelations and hopeful developments, promising an exciting season 4 for the rom-com TV show – here’s what happened. Unlike Emily in Paris season 2’s ending, when Emily found herself facing a cliffhanger difficult choice that she'd eventually make in season 3, episode 3, Emily in Paris season 3’s finale unveiled startling developments for audiences and characters alike. While Emily’s career might have seemed unstable at the start, it improved by the end of season 3, with her love life also going through big changes in Emily in Paris season 4.
It wasn’t only Emily’s French that improved in Emily in Paris season 3, as Emily (Lily Collins) grew as a character herself and became surer about her work at Sylvie’s (Phillippine Leroy-Beaulieu) Agence Grateau. However, Emily’s uncomfortable involvement with the relationship of Camille and Gabriel in Emily in Paris season 3 continued, despite being less overt compared to season 2’s open confrontations. A more accomplished and less meddling Emily meant the challenges she had to face in Emily in Paris season 3 finale were different. Unlike previous seasons, Emily wasn’t ready to jump impulsively at a chance with Gabriel or let her friendship with Mindy bear the brunt of Nicolas’ actions.

Why Emily Didn't Choose Gabriel In Emily in Paris Season 3's Ending
Camille’s (Camille Razat) public revelation of the pact she made with Emily in Emily in Paris season 2 to win back Gabriel without Emily interfering was probably the most consequential shocking event of Emily in Paris season 3, episode 10. While in the eyes of Camille that should have had both the unburdening of her guilt and Gabriel and Emily finally being together as consequences, Emily didn’t think so. Indeed, already Emily in Paris season 3, episode 9 had Gabriel confess to Emily that he “loved them both." Despite the declaration, Emily decided not to act on that because of Camille and Gabriel being together, but also because of Alfie.
Indeed, Emily’s relationship with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) became her priority in Emily in Paris season 3. Even Emily in Paris season 3, episode 9 showed how she was more upset about Alfie not telling his family about her than Gabriel and Camille choosing engagement proposal venues after he told her he had feelings for her and Camille. Considering how Camille’s shocking revelation made Alfie abruptly run away from Gabriel and Camille’s impromptu wedding, Emily seemed more eager to explain herself to him than jump at the chance to be with Gabriel, as there were no more obstacles that she knew of now.
It is guaranteed that Emily in Paris season 4 will show Gabriel and Emily getting together. Gabriel’s worries that Camille would’ve left him after she got back from Greece and her disclosure of her pregnancy all pointed to Gabriel actually wanting that life with Camille. Granted, her public reveal at their wedding might have offered him more insight about Camille’s ploys, potentially making him change his mind. However, his frank conversation with Emily at the end of Emily in Paris season 3 finale seemed more friendly than a reunion of long-lost lovers, suggesting that Emily and Gabriel won't pair up, even if they could in Emily in Paris season 4.
Who Is Julien Messaging & What It Means For Agence Grateau
Emily in Paris season 3 had Emily finally stable at Sylvie’s Agence Grateau, but while Sylvie didn’t need Emily to prove herself anymore, her work habits ended up causing problems with Julien (Samuel Arnold). The finale saw Julien messaging someone unknown, possibly Emily in Paris season 3 new character Nicolas (Paul Forman), as his company JVMA directly suffered from Agence Grateau’s plan to help Pierre Cadault, despite his brand being owned by JVMA. Whether JVMA or Nicolas were actually the receivers of Julien’s message, it would make sense that Julien would try to betray Sylvie’s marketing firm, as Emily in Paris season 3 showed how Julien didn’t feel valued there.

Julien’s betrayal might have come as surprising. However, considering how Sylvie ignored his remarks about Emily stealing other colleagues’ clients, it would make sense for Julien to accept other companies’ offers. That would especially be the case as he followed Sylvie’s new entrepreneurial ventures without batting an eyelid, and Sylvie didn’t offer him the same loyalty in relation to Emily’s meddling at work. If Julien’s betrayal in Emily in Paris season 3 were actually to manifest as him joining JVMA in season 4, it would surely offer drama, especially with Nicolas’ father’s company being Sylvie’s sworn enemy.
What Benoit's Eurovision Offer Means For Mindy & Nicolas
Mindy and Nicolas seemingly patched up things in Emily in Paris season 3’s ending, but Benoit’s (Kevin Dias) surprise appearance at her door with news of their song being accepted to the Eurovision Song Contest had them share a moment. Besides Nicolas’ abysmal behavior with Emily, Mindy’s relationship with him was easy for her, as their childhoods and familiar relationships were similar. Nevertheless, Nicolas’ attitude toward the family company might remind Mindy of her father, with whom she disagreed precisely because of the expectations he placed on her. Nicolas’ similarities to Mindy’s dad’s attitude could be the final straw for their relationship, especially if Mindy and Benoit were to reconcile.
Why Camille Couldn't Let Go of Sofia Despite Loving Gabriel
Camille’s fling with Sofia (Melia Kreiling) helped her forget about Emily in Paris season 2’s plan by Camille’s mother, but also took Camille by surprise, especially for how happy she felt with her. Her happiness, rather than attributable to her problems with Gabriel, had more to do with the guilt she felt about the pact with Emily she entered with the intention to betray it. Despite reiterating her love for Gabriel, Camille felt trapped throughout Emily in Paris season 3, especially whenever her mother was around, congratulating her on her success in keeping Gabriel and not losing him to Emily.
Camille’s feelings for Sofia seemed genuine, especially as she could freely explore the relationship she wanted with her, unencumbered by her guilt, as she didn’t manipulate Sofia. Whether Camille decides to go forward with her pregnancy in Emily in Paris season 4, she might still decide not to be with Gabriel. Still, Camille always declared her love for Gabriel, so she could also pursue both, having feelings for both.

How Emily In Paris Season 3's Ending Sets Up Season 4
Emily in Paris’ French gags will likely continue, despite Emily in Paris season 3’s ending showcasing Emily’s better French. Along with the surprising development, Emily in Paris season 3’s ending also set up many of the challenges needing to be faced in season 4, including Emily’s choice of whether to be with Gabriel or Alfie. Emily might not have jumped at the chance to be with Gabriel, but she still admitted to her feelings for him in Emily in Paris season 3 finale. Despite Camille’s pregnancy and Gabriel’s wishes to be a father, Gabriel could also still want to be with Emily, knowing his feelings are reciprocated.
Emily in Paris season 4 will have to deal with Nicolas’ company JVMA coming for Agence Grateau, which could happen with Julien’s help. Resembling Sex and the City, Emily in Paris season 4 might also cause problems for Mindy and Nicolas because of the lingering feelings between Mindy and Benoit and how Benoit’s news assured that he and Mindy would reunite the band for the Eurovision. Finally, as Emily in Paris season 3’s ending didn’t give Emily and Alfie a chance to talk, he could make a comeback in season 4 – after all, throughout Emily in Paris season 3, Emily consistently chose Alfie, making Emily choose Gabriel more unlikely.
