When the season starts, Emily has no obstacles in her way to pursue a relationship with Gabriel (Lucas Bravo). However, she’s not quite sure where she stands with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) after he stormed out of the wedding.
Her complicated feelings toward both men come to a head at Maison Lavaux’s masquerade ball. She eventually chooses Gabriel and leaves the ball with him, unaware that Alfie has tried to find her and rekindle their relationship.
Emily and Gabriel begin dating. However, Emily quickly realizes that since Camille (Camille Razat) is carrying Gabriel’s child, he’ll always prioritize her.
The two break up after having a huge argument when Gabriel leaves her stranded at the top of a mountain while they’re away skiing. Heartbroken, Emily returns to Paris alone.
A few weeks later, she bumps into the friendly and handsome Italian man who helped her down the mountain — Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini).
A romance blossoms, first in Paris and then in Rome, when Emily takes him up on the offer to visit his home turf.
While their relationship hits a bump when Marcello suspects Emily is only pursuing him for business reasons, by the end of the season, they seem set to start a relationship after Emily is temporarily posted in Rome.
