Why did Emily and Gabriel break up in Season 4 Part 2 of Emily in Paris?

Emily and Gabriel’s love story took a dramatic twist in the aftermath of Part 1. The former couple were enjoying a vacation in the French Alps before jumping back into work. All was well until they ran into Gabriel’s ex-fiance Camille and her family.

At the time, she was thought to have been pregnant. Caught off-guard Gabriel, decided to let Emily handle the ordeal and left her alone with them to get a handle on things.

Naturally, this irked her, making her incredibly uncomfortable, leading her to voice her concerns to Gabriel. Although Gabriel attempted to smooth things over and tried coaxing Emily into believing it wouldn’t happen again, they ended up having a heated argument.

Emily and Gabriel decide to call it quits on their relationship for good. Shortly after, Emily moved on with Marcello whom she met after a fight with Gabriel when she was battling a life-and-death scenario atop a snowy peak.

Why did Emily make the move to Rome permanent in Season 4 Part 2 of Emily in Paris?

Fast-forward to her boss Sylvie hell-bent on acquiring Marcello’s mother’s company, and urging Emily to use her charms and win her over. It wasn’t that easy because Savior wasn’t the only company eying Marcello’s business.

Along with Emily, came the head of JVMA who also attempted to sway his mother. With business involving a lover once more, she tried convincing Marcello to sell his company to hers instead.

Impressed by the arguments she made, Marcello’s mom arranged for a private meeting with Emily. For this rendezvous, Sylvia, Luc, and Julien each catch a plane ride to assist their dear colleague on this difficult assignment.

Despite banter and strong points made on both sides, Marcello’s mom finally agreed to sell the company to Sylvia and her team on one condition. There had to be a fully functioning office in Rome,- with a team closely doing the groundwork with her.
