Before watching Emily in Paris season 4, part 2, even long-time viewers may need a quick refresher on the show's cast of characters, especially those who are returning for Emily Cooper's (Lily Collins) latest comedic adventure, which takes her from Paris to Rome. Created by Darren Star (Sex and the City), Emily in Paris sees its titular character moving from Chicago to to provide an American point of view to a French marketing firm. Initially hired on as a temporary social media strategist, Emily butts heads with her bitter, no-nonsense boss, Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu).
Anticipation for things to about Emily in Paris' previous seasons, but, most importantly, Camille is keeping her false-positive pregnancy a secret from Gabriel, who's officially back with Emily. Meanwhile, Mindy (Ashley Park) balances her image-obsessed boyfriend and Eurovision dream; Sylvie enjoys newfound success even in the wake of her JVMA exposé; and Gabriel comes to with not receiving a Michelin star.
