Emily faces new challenges in Rome and beyond
Emily, who is now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, encounters both professional and romantic obstacles while adjusting to her new city, as stated in the official season description. A work-related plan unexpectedly goes awry, leading to a series of disappointments and setbacks in Emily's professional life. When Emily's French lifestyle becomes unstable, she turns to it for stability. A major secret jeopardises one of Emily's closest relationships. Emily emerges stronger, more connected, and more receptive to new opportunities when she confronts adversity head-on.
Emily experiences significant transformations in her personal and professional life, such as assuming leadership at Agence Grateau Rome, encountering professional setbacks, and encountering challenges in her closest relationships. Although most of the series has taken place in Paris, the recently released photos show that it is also taking place in Venice, which is a welcome change of scenery. Rome, of course, will still play a major role.
