Spoilers ahead for Emily in Paris season 2 

With Emily in Paris season 3 arriving this week, now is the perfect time to refresh your memory on what happened at the end of the second season.

Madeline (Kate Walsh) and Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) butt heads non-stop when Madeline comes to Paris to check on the business. It gets ugly fast, and Sylvie winds up quitting Savoir, taking Luc (Bruno Gouery), Julien (Samuel Arnold), and half the clients with her.

The season ends with Sylvie presenting Emily with a significant career opportunity: leave Savoir and join Sylvie’s new firm. It would mean staying in Paris much longer, maybe indefinitely, and forgoing the Chicago promotion she’s been working toward this whole time. Will Emily agree to leave Madeline and go to work for Sylvie?

Alfie reveals that the job he came to Paris for has ended, and he’s expected back in the London office. He actually stays longer than he should in Paris because he doesn’t want to leave Emily, but it’s time for him to return to his life in London. Alfie asks Emily to try doing a long-distance relationship with him because he really likes her and wants to see where things can go.

Even though Emily agrees to try long-distance, it’s clear she’s still torn between Alfie and Gabriel. She even accidentally slips up and says she “loves” Gabriel while venting to Mindy (Ashley Park). Mindy encourages Emily to tell Gabriel how she feels because if she doesn’t, she’ll always wonder, “what if.”

With the possibility of staying in Paris long-term in front of her, Emily finally goes to Gabriel’s apartment prepared to tell him how she feels. Emily starts to tell him the truth, but Camille (Camille Razat) interrupts before she can get to the whole “I love you” part. It turns out that Camille and Gabriel have gotten back together, and Gabriel asked Camille to move in! Emily leaves in tears as she contemplates her future.

After Benoit (Kevin Dias) discovers that Mindy is technically famous and a billionaire’s daughter, it seems like their relationship is over as he struggles to deal with her misleading him about her life. But the pair eventually makes up during a touching and emotional performance. The band is back together!

Emily in Paris season 3 premieres on December 21.
