A Christmas disaster, where Gabriel leaves skiing amateur Emily alone on the slopes, results in the couple’s breakup but makes way for a meet-cute between Emily and Italian heartthrob Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini).

Desperate for a reprieve from her life in Paris, Emily accepts Marcello’s irresistible invitation to join him in Rome for a long weekend. A serendipitous sequence of events at the end of season 4 brings Emily a new adventure in yet another foreign city: running Agence Grateau’s Rome office.

At the end of season 4, viewers watch as Emily finds herself falling madly in love with Marcello — the heir to an Italian luxury cashmere company called Umberto Muratori.

Emily and Marcello have their first encounter while skiing inMegève, France— after Gabriel leaves her stranded on the slopes. Marcello helps Emily get down the mountain safely before she storms off to yell at Gabriel, ultimately ending their relationship.

Emily embarks on a Roman holiday, but when her boss Sylvie (Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu) learns of her destination, she crashes the vacation in the hopes of landing Umberto Muratori as a client. When Sylvie abruptly asks Marcello for a meeting, he begins to question whether Emily came to Rome for him or to procure a deal.

Despite Emily tracking Marcello down in Solitano and apologizing for Sylvie’s ambitions, the “Italian Stallion,” as Mindy calls him, doesn’t have a change of heart until the final minutes of season 4.

“I don’t want to work with you Marcello, I want to be with you,” Emily says. Marcello responds with a smile and a kiss.

Emily then learns that she’ll be staying in Rome for work, and the final scene shows the couple riding off into the sunset on a Vespa,Lizzie McGuire-style.

Will Emily stay in Rome?

At the end ofseason 4, Emily tells Mindy that it’s “not going to be forever” and viewers watch her move into a small Italian apartment with breathtaking views of her new home.

Once back in Paris, Camille asks Gabriel to join her for lunch outside the city — a sly maneuver to introduce him to her family’s priest and discuss adoption. Understandably, Gabriel is caught off guard and says, “We’re not together. We both deserve to have a family with someone we’re in love with.”
