Sure.
Speaker:Welcome to the Emily and Paris fans podcast.
Speaker:I created this podcast for fans, just like you will love Emily and Paris and
Speaker:are super excited to binge out on the new season of Emily and Paris on Netflix.
Speaker:Let's watch the new season together and talk about fashion, love,
Speaker:relationships, and life in Paris.
Speaker:I'm dimple.
Speaker:Dang.
Speaker:I'm your host.
Speaker:I'm a marketing expert podcast, coach and podcaster state bar T.
Speaker:Hey there.
Speaker:So for those of you who did not get to tune in to season one of Emily and Paris,
Speaker:and you just somehow discovered this amazing show right now, I'm going to
Speaker:give you guys a quick recap of season one.
Speaker:So you will not be lost when you go to season two.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So Emily.
Speaker:Is a Chicago girl, which is the same city that I'm originally from.
Speaker:And she works at a marketing PR firm.
Speaker:And her boss is actually supposed to go to Paris, but her boss cannot go.
Speaker:And instead she sends Emily.
Speaker:So Emily shows up to Paris for this job, not knowing an ounce of French or
Speaker:anything, but she's very enthusiastic.
Speaker:And she's very excited and Elise she's fashionable.
Speaker:So she fits right in and she shows up and Sylvie, who is her boss?
Speaker:Doesn't really like her too much in the beginning, but Sylvie seems like the
Speaker:type of person who's hard on everyone.
Speaker:So she probably doesn't open up to people too quickly.
Speaker:I think it takes her some time and that's okay.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:Emily's in Paris now.
Speaker:And she's so excited and she still has a boyfriend in Chicago, but
Speaker:her boyfriend ends up not liking this whole long distance thing.
Speaker:And he's like, Hey, Emily, either you move back to Chicago or I'm going
Speaker:to break up with you and Emily's thinking, no, I don't think so.
Speaker:I'm in Paris with this amazing job opportunity that is once in a lifetime.
Speaker:And I'm not coming back to Chicago, at least not yet.
Speaker:So Emily and her boyfriend break up and wherever Emily seems to
Speaker:go, she just attracts all the men.
Speaker:I think that it's because she's a little bit it's because she's not from there.
Speaker:And she's American.
Speaker:I think that they have an attraction to.
Speaker:Americans and you have to admit, she is absolutely gorgeous and she's very sweet.
Speaker:She's got that, you know, beautiful smile and she is quite fashionable and she's
Speaker:also a little bit entertaining and funny.
Speaker:So if you look at the little quirks that she has, it is probably appealing to.
Speaker:So on season one, Emily moves into this building.
Speaker:And as you guys know in Paris, if you don't know, I'll tell you now,
Speaker:most buildings did not have elevators in Paris, so everything is stairs.
Speaker:So she's got a neighbor, you know, that lives in her building and his name
Speaker:is Gabriel and Gabriel's is like hot neighbor, young, sexy good-looking.
Speaker:And he also happens to have a restaurant and he's a chef and Emily meets
Speaker:him and he is just sweet as can be.
Speaker:And he never really discloses that he has a girlfriend.
Speaker:Emily had to find out the hard way, poor Emily, but you know, there's a little bit
Speaker:of a traction, a little bit of flirtation and Emily leans in when she was at his
Speaker:place and she kisses him one day for us.
Speaker:He didn't stop her, but he's a guy, but on the same token, Emily at
Speaker:the time did not know that Gabriel.
Speaker:Has a girlfriend.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Gabriel has a girlfriend
Speaker:and her name is Camille and Camille is beautiful.
Speaker:She's got blonde hair and she comes from a very wealthy family.
Speaker:And Gabriel's been trying to.
Speaker:Open up his own restaurant, but he doesn't really have the funds to do it.
Speaker:And she's been talking to her family and saying, Hey, you know, my family will
Speaker:invest in your restaurant, but you know, Gabriel, he's a different kind of guy.
Speaker:He's not like someone who's just going to use her for that
Speaker:or take her family's money.
Speaker:. He believes in working hard.
Speaker:He believes that he wants to do it on his own.
Speaker:He doesn't really want their relationship dynamic to be
Speaker:about her family, helping him.
Speaker:And I think he would just feel awkward.
Speaker:And quite frankly, I don't blame him.
Speaker:I think that that dynamic would not work out later.
Speaker:I think there would be weird feelings.
Speaker:He would feel like he was beneath them or they might feel like they.
Speaker:Our better, they did something for him.
Speaker:So then he owes them something.
Speaker:And I think he was smart when he just declined.
Speaker:So that's that.
Speaker:And so Emily, you know, Scott, all these like different clients, and
Speaker:then she's got this amazing Instagram page that she has set up for Emily
Speaker:and Paris and wherever she goes.
Speaker:She takes all of these amazing photos and she's posting them on Instagram and her
Speaker:Instagram is really climbing up there.
Speaker:It's growing and people are engaging they're following.
Speaker:And she did a really good job of that.
Speaker:So, great job on that.
Speaker:And then, and then there was this, woman that's like, oh, Emily,
Speaker:can I have a meeting with you?
Speaker:So Emily goes to meet her at like their version of the Ralph Lauren restaurant.
Speaker:And.
Speaker:She tells Emily that there's going to be a fashion show.
Speaker:And can she have Pierre donate a dress for charity?
Speaker:And suddenly it's like, oh yeah, sure.
Speaker:I can, I can work it out.
Speaker:So she convinces pier to donate a dress to charity and this dresses, very couture.
Speaker:It's beautiful.
Speaker:And it's, one of those pieces that you would say, it's one of a kind.
Speaker:And so the model who's supposed to model the dress was not able to make
Speaker:it to the show and the person in charge of the models comes up and
Speaker:says, Matthew, do you have like a list of backup models you can call?
Speaker:Like, what can we do?
Speaker:And Matthew is like, you know what?
Speaker:I have the perfect person in mind.
Speaker:And guess at that perfect person was, of course it was Emily
Speaker:and Emily gets pushed into.
Speaker:Modeling this amazing dress on stage and presenting.
Speaker:And she's like, uh, okay, I guess I'll do it.
Speaker:She doesn't really have a choice.
Speaker:I mean, this is business and you know, when you're in that situation, you do what
Speaker:you're supposed to do to get the job done.
Speaker:And that's what she did.
Speaker:But little does she know?
Speaker:There's like these guys there that are like called gray space and
Speaker:they're literally remind me of Ghostbusters and that survived.
Speaker:And there was like an auction to bid on that dress and people are bidding
Speaker:and they're driving the bid up.
Speaker:So ultimately they won the bid and they go up to the front by the stage where
Speaker:Emily was standing there in the dress and they have their, machine guns, like the
Speaker:ones that you would see in Ghostbusters.
Speaker:And they shoot at Emily.
Speaker:And there's like paint and the paint comes out and they don't shoot one time.
Speaker:They shoot one time, two times, three times, and her dress is
Speaker:destroyed with all of this paint.
Speaker:And as a result of that, Pierre is so upset because this is his creation and
Speaker:everything that happened at that time.
Speaker:Showed up in the newspapers, literally the next morning.
Speaker:And he was really humiliated.
Speaker:He was embarrassed.
Speaker:He was really just not feeling like leaving his house even
Speaker:because he just felt like it was so bad for his reputation.
Speaker:What happened?
Speaker:And do we blame Emily?
Speaker:I don't know if I blame her.
Speaker:I mean, the only thing that she really did is agreeing to donate a dress.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And I guess there's a, there's not really any harm in donating a dress.
Speaker:the rest of it, it was that she got forced into modeling the dress.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:You guys.
Speaker:So if she was forced into it, that's that, but she didn't volunteer and
Speaker:say, oh, I want to model the dress.
Speaker:And she didn't know, these guys were gonna do what they did and they did.
Speaker:so the situation is what it is, but I really felt bad for Emily at that moment.
Speaker:and not just did I feel bad, but at that moment, when Emily goes back
Speaker:to the office, the next day Sylvie is furious because they lose the.
Speaker:And she thinks it's because of it's all Emily's fault.
Speaker:So she fires Emiline.
Speaker:But in France, from what I heard on the show, you can't really fire people
Speaker:and it's not easy to get rid of them.
Speaker:So Emily's colleagues and friends at the firm tell her like, listen,
Speaker:Emily, you may not know this, but.
Speaker:They can't fire you.
Speaker:It's not that easy to get rid of you.
Speaker:They have to go through all of these different things.
Speaker:So just come back to work tomorrow.
Speaker:And so Emily's like, okay, so Emily comes back to work tomorrow
Speaker:and still be Caesar there.
Speaker:And so it was like, what are you doing here?
Speaker:And she's like, oh, you know, you actually can't fire me from what I hear.
Speaker:So I might as well just come back.
Speaker:And Sylvie's just kinda like, at this point, she's like, I
Speaker:can't be bothered with Emily.
Speaker:Fine.
Speaker:Emily do whatever, but stat on my way kind of attitude.
Speaker:And so, pier.
Speaker:We'll go into this story is that peer also has a nephew and his name is
Speaker:Matthew and Matthew, you know, has a little bit of a crush on Emily.
Speaker:And he invites her to, meet up one night and she's like, oh, I have to go to
Speaker:this art gallery thing with my friends.
Speaker:He's like, oh, great.
Speaker:Where is it?
Speaker:Send me the address.
Speaker:I'll meet you there.
Speaker:And he didn't just say it.
Speaker:He actually showed up.
Speaker:And after that, I think they grabbed dinner and they were walking and, you
Speaker:know, on, on a second, date, whatever you want to call it, he invited her
Speaker:to meet him at this, restaurant.
Speaker:And she gets there and he's like, she gets there and she doesn't see him.
Speaker:And she's like, well, where are you?
Speaker:And he's like, I didn't say.
Speaker:In the restaurant.
Speaker:I said, I was by the restaurant and he tells her to come outside.
Speaker:She goes outside and he is waving to her on this boat in the river.
Speaker:And that is just so romantic.
Speaker:And it's exactly what Paris is all about.
Speaker:So.
Speaker:She goes out there and she gets in the boat with him and I think
Speaker:they had this wonderful evening.
Speaker:She goes back to his place and they are on the balcony.
Speaker:He's got the most beautiful view ever.
Speaker:, and they exchange a kiss and then his phone.
Speaker:And he doesn't answer.
Speaker:I think his cell phone rang and he didn't answer, but then the home phone rang
Speaker:and he's like, oh, I have to get that.
Speaker:Because the only person who calls me on the home phone is Pierre and
Speaker:Pierre is really upset right now.
Speaker:So I have to take this call.
Speaker:So he got on the phone, he had to leave and Emily was
Speaker:left there and showed herself.
Speaker:And then also on the season, Emily, was supposed to arrange a dinner for
Speaker:her coworkers and the restaurant that she thought she made reservations
Speaker:that when she got there, they were like, no, we can't fit you in.
Speaker:We're totally booked.
Speaker:We don't have any vacancy.
Speaker:Sorry.
Speaker:So then she's thinking, well, what do I do?
Speaker:So she thinks about the fact that Gabriel, you know, has his
Speaker:restaurant and he's a chef and he's her friend, he's her neighbor.
Speaker:And she arranges for everyone to go there.
Speaker:So they go there and Sylvie can see that there's something going on between them,
Speaker:even if it's just chemistry at this point.
Speaker:And so after everyone leaves.
Speaker:Emily goes to talk to Gabriel and she's thinking him and she
Speaker:kisses him and he kisses her back.
Speaker:And I think he was a little shocked, but this is not the first kiss you guys.
Speaker:This is the second kiss.
Speaker:And then he discloses to her that he's actually leaving and he's
Speaker:moving to Normandy to open up, you know, a restaurant there.
Speaker:And at this point, she wasn't expecting that.
Speaker:So she's so shocked and she's like, wow, he's moving to Normandy.
Speaker:And at this point, you know, she doesn't really want him
Speaker:to move, but it is what it is.
Speaker:And then she also didn't realize that he had a girlfriend.
Speaker:. So then she sees Camille who she had become friends with,
Speaker:from meeting her out and about.
Speaker:And Camille was really friendly towards her and, you know,
Speaker:always like was inviting her to events and things like that.
Speaker:So Camille comes by and she's like, oh, Hey honey.
Speaker:And she gives Gabriel a kiss and Emily's like, I can just see the look on her face.
Speaker:She's like, oh my God, I didn't know.
Speaker:You had a boyfriend.
Speaker:Yeah, Emily, he didn't tell you Diddy.
Speaker:Hmm.
Speaker:But you didn't ask him, did you?
Speaker:But then again, he seemed pretty single to me if I say so myself, but you never know.
Speaker:So I think it's always a good idea to ask, but Emily's like, oh my
Speaker:God, like he's leaving and I can just see the look on her face, but
Speaker:she's also like, oh, I didn't know.
Speaker:He had a girlfriend.
Speaker:So I think a little bit, she's kind of like, well, might as well give up on
Speaker:him, like, where's this going to go?
Speaker:I'm just going to be the other woman.
Speaker:And that's no fun.
Speaker:And the problem is that she can't get him off of her mind and she knows that
Speaker:he's going to be leaving the next day.
Speaker:So she goes to the restaurant and the restaurants like.
Speaker:And she's banging on the door and then he, he come and then Gabriel comes out from
Speaker:the side door and he's like, are you okay?
Speaker:Are you looking for me?
Speaker:What's going on?
Speaker:And she's like, yeah, I was looking for you.
Speaker:And then she, you know, she, she talks to him and he's like, yeah, I'm pretty
Speaker:much, you know, going to be gone tomorrow morning and this is happening.
Speaker:And she's like, oh my God, like really?
Speaker:Are you sure?
Speaker:And he's like, yeah, it's for the best.
Speaker:And so one thing leads to another and Emily and Gabriel ended up hooking
Speaker:up and she has the most amazing sex.
Speaker:At least that's what you says on episode two.
Speaker:And she can't get him out of her mind.
Speaker:And then she rushes over in the morning.
Speaker:Cause she just has to see him one last time before he goes and she misses
Speaker:him and she goes to the restaurant and everything seems locked up
Speaker:and she gets her and she says that Anton is sitting there and
Speaker:Antone's like, oh, Hey Emily.
Speaker:And she's like, Hey, what are you doing here?
Speaker:I was like, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm buying this place.
Speaker:So Anton ends up being the investor.
Speaker:For the restaurant and he wants to rename it, redo it.
Speaker:And guess what you guys, Gabriel is not going to Normandy.
Speaker:Gabriel is staying in Paris and now the drummer really begins because
Speaker:Emily finds herself in a little bit of a love triangle, and she feels
Speaker:very guilty because Camille is supposedly her friend and Gabriel.
Speaker:Well, we don't know what he is yet, but he's definitely hot.
Speaker:And you guys would just have to tune in to see what happens.
Speaker:And if you listen to my next episode, I'm going to give you guys a sneak
Speaker:peek into, into season two episode.
Speaker:One of some of the things that are going to happen, as well as the
Speaker:sneak peek into some of the new characters that are going to be.
Speaker:On this season.
Speaker:And I will say so myself, that there is a new character that is
Speaker:going to be a little bit of a love interest for Emily spoiler alert.
Speaker:And his name is Elfie on the show and he's a sarcastic Brit and he is a he's.
Speaker:Like he's got some serious sex appeal.
Speaker:So you guys will just have to tune in on Netflix to see who this new guy
Speaker:is and see the chemistry between them because you know, Gabriel's hot too.
Speaker:So just like, oh, Emily, you are a rockstar because you get
Speaker:all the hot guys, all of them.
Speaker:And you know what, in Chicago.
Speaker:I don't know what you're doing at that guy.
Speaker:He seemed a little boring.
