She’s learning how to lead with her heart a little more.

But by Season 2, Emily has refined her personal sales pitch.

It’s like Emily has read the room in her office.

She’s gotten the personalities.

She knows how to get her point across without being too overly anything.

Emilys job is more than her reason for being in France; its herraison d’etre.

And shes really good at it.

Even going to Paris was a way to get a promotion.

It wasn’t like Emilyalwayswanted to go to Paris, you know?

Ultimately, last seasons cliffhanger, in which Emily finally sleeps with Gabriel, didnt change much.

Actually, its a star-crossed foursome now, with Alfie another improbably hot European vying for Emily.

And at work, the stakes are just as high.

This isnt a crisis for Emily to cleverly work around, but a stark choice: Madeline or Sylvie.

No matter what happens, there will be repercussions.

But she’s learning how to lead with her heart a little more.

And sometimes that overlaps and sometimes it doesn’t.

But she’s more open to risk-taking.
