Emily In Paris Ending Explained: What Happened Between Emily And Alfie In Season 3?

At the end of season 3 in Emily in Paris, Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), and Emily went their separate ways. His reason for ending things was justifiable, but the surprising turn of events in the finale left Emily’s future uncertain. With Gabriel and Camille now an engaged couple, it seemed that Emily and Gabriel might explore their feelings further. However, Alfie’s sudden departure from Emily’s life came as a surprise.

In the third season of Emily in Paris, Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) ended his relationship with Emily due to the revelation of the “Gabriel pact” during Gabriel and Camille’s wedding. Both Emily and Alfie were present at their friends’ engagement party or wedding. However, it was Camille’s speech that made Alfie doubt his feelings for Emily. In the season finale, Alfie expressed to Emily, “I’m sorry, but I can’t be someone’s second choice, Cooper. You go find your man now.” To which Emily responded by stating that she is actually him. However, he refused her claim and expressed his disbelief in their connection.

After finding out about Emily’s past with Gabriel and the secrecy surrounding their pact, Alfie became enraged. Although it was understandable for him to feel betrayed, he chose to end his relationship with Emily in the season 3 finale upon learning Camille’s perspective. Let’s delve into the reasons behind your decisive action.

In the second season of Emily in Paris, Alfie (Matthew Berry) shared with Emily (Lily Collins) that his past romantic entanglements hadn’t worked out. Consequently, he was reluctant for her to meet his parents due to his last two relationships ending in chaos. Initially wary of starting a new relationship, Alfie’s stance was gradually evolving. While his decision to call off their relationship before Camille and Gabriel’s wedding seemed hasty, Alfie’s history with messy breakups likely influenced his desire to avoid the pain of another heartbreak.

Alfie continued to feel pain from past relationships, especially when he noticed Emily and Gabriel’s history. This was further complicated by Camille’s speech at the wedding, leading Alfie to believe that he was merely Camille’s backup choice. Emily seemed still attached to Gabriel, as suggested in Camille’s storytelling during the season 3 finale. Consequently, Alfie ended their relationship, unwilling to be a second choice.

In the final episode, after confirming their engagement in the previous one, Camille and Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) decide to get married on the spot. This sudden decision comes about when Gabriel finds out that his restaurant is a strong contender for a Michelin star. Excited by this news, he proposes, “Why don’t we go ahead and get married now?” At their engagement party held at Camille’s family home, her mother casually mentions that the family owns a chapel. Taking this as a sign, Camille and Gabriel decide to tie the knot right away.

As an obsessed fan, I couldn’t believe my eyes when, at the altar, sobbing Camille made an unexpected confession. She revealed that Gabriel and Emily had been in love since their very first encounter. Moreover, she shared a secret pact they had made, vowing never to date each other’s beloved – a pact she had broken herself. The room went silent as Camille fled the scene, leaving everyone reeling from this shocking revelation.

Emily and Gabriel talk about the contract Emily shared with Camille during her wedding speech, which explained why Emily kept her distance from him. Later on, Emily confesses that she has long harbored feelings for Gabriel, a fact he had also expressed in confidence earlier. With these revelations, season 4 will explore the fallout from the events of the season 3 finale.

In the upcoming Season 4, we’ll discover the answers to several intriguing questions about Camille’s pregnancy and Emily and Gabriel’s newfound singleness. One significant query that Season 4 will address is whether Sofia and Alfie have truly moved on from Camille and Emily. Furthermore, Mindy’s situation remains complex: is she still dating Nicolas while participating in the Eurovision Song Contest alongside her ex-bandmate Benoît? Exciting times ahead! The release dates for Season 4 of Emily in Paris are as follows: Part 1 on August 15, 2024, and Part 2 on September 12, 2024.
