SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers for Emily in Paris Season 4 Part 2.

Emily Cooper’s adventures in Rome have come to a close for now as the second part of Season 4 of Netflix’s Emily in Paris wrapped up the latest installment of the series.

At the beginning of Part 2, Emily (Lily Collins) and Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) finally get to be together, but some Christmas complications and realizations past the honeymoon phase make that moment shortlived. Midway through the five episodes, she connects with Italian Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) who begs her to come to Rome and visit him after they have a long romantic night out on the town.

In true Emily in Paris fashion, there is a business aspect to this idea, as Marcello descends from Umberto and Antonia Muratori (Anna Galiena), owners of a quiet luxury brand whose goats grow the softest woll in Europe. Sylvie eyes a scarf that Marcello sends Emily and immediately clocks the business opportunity. Though Emily may be spending more time in Rome in the guture, creator Darren Star doesn’t see the change as permanent.

“She didn’t change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome. She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie’s company has an office in Rome. Emily’s getting that on its feet,” he told Deadline. “I don’t necessarily think that it means a permanent — in my mind, it’s definitely not a permanent — move to Rome. We’re not leaving Paris.”

Star spoke about the future of specific characters — new and old — as well as room for more twists and turns should the series get a Season 5.

Did you write the end of season four as a finale cliffhanger or as a final end of the show?

Star: No, no, definitely something to segue into other seasons. For me, it ends on a cliffhanger. It doesn’t end on a on a final note.

So you’re hopeful about a Season 5?

Yes.

Gabriel seemed very ready to go pursue Emily while she’s in Rome. Are we entering another love triangle, between them two, and then Marcello and the whole star crossed lovers theme?

I think Gabriel realized that he doesn’t want to let Emily go so easily, and he might have made a big mistake. They certainly had a big fight and a cooling off period. But I think he realized that by the end of the season, that there’s something that he doesn’t want to let Emily go. I don’t know what that means. Doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to be together instantly or ever. I don’t know, but I think he feels there’s unfinished business with the two of them.

Are Alfie and Camille out of the picture as far as love interests and connections to the lead characters?

Not necessarily. I mean people come and go out of people’s lives in shows for a period of time, but it doesn’t mean that they’re off the table.

Would you say Genevieve replaced Camille as a character that people might not like very much?

I think there’s a reason to sort of love and hate Genevieve, but I think they’re very different characters. I think Camille and Gabrielle had a lot of history, but I think Genevieve just has her own agenda. She’s really just, she’s young, ambitious, and thinking about herself.

Eurovision didn’t happen this time. Is there a chance it could happen in another season, or that we could see Mindy judging on Chinese Pop Star?

Sure, I think there’s a lot we can see with Mindy. Definitely, yeah.

Did Ashley help write that new original song in the finale?

Ashley didn’t help write it, but she really inspired the idea that Mindy herself should write a song. I loved that idea so I talked to, Freddy Wexler again, who wrote “Mon Soleil,” about doing another original song for us, and he just really nailed it. I just love the song.

I wanted to ask too about episode lengths. I felt like they’re a little bit longer this season. Was that, because it was split?

The episode lengths are just about how long, whatever it takes to tell the stories we need to tell. I feel like as the show series continues, there’s just more story to tell for more characters so the episodes are getting a little longer. Especially the last one.

Sylvie and Emily are so close, but how does Sylvie’s hijacking Emily’s love life and then still offering her the Rome office contribute to the climax of Part 2?

I mean, I think that Sylvie has felt, just had a passion for getting this piece of business, even at the expense of Emily’s personal life. And I think the story, you know, if we have a season five, I think iit has some more twists and turns in it, this story, and I think that Sylvie has a lot of trust in Emily, but I also think that Sylvie acted pretty selfishly at the same time.
