8 questions the 'Emily in Paris' season 2 finale leaves unanswered

Trouble arises the moment Madeline, a Chicago-based Gilbert Group executive (played by Kate Walsh), pops into the Savoir office unannounced in episode nine.

Though she says she's there as a "fly on the wall" for a routine evaluation of the subsidiary company, it doesn't take long for her to clash with Sylvie, the marketing firm's French lead (played by Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu).

"Go get my fly swatter," Sylvie rattles off to her employee in French too rapid for Madeline's ear.

Immediately, Emily is torn.

The young marketing executive (played by Lily Collins) has climbed the corporate ladder by Madeline's side and shares a sense of like-mindedness (or, at least, American-ness) with the by-the-books professional. However, she's also come to appreciate Sylvie's more laissez-faire attitude and relationship-based business approach.

And the two don't seem to be able to work in tandem.

So, when Sylvie resigns from her post at Savoir to open her own firm, taking Luc (Bruno Gouery) and Julien (Samuel Arnold) with her, the American in Paris faces a difficult decision.

Does she play it safe and stay at Gilbert Group as one of Madeline's "little mounds of clay," restaffing the Parisian office before returning to a promotion in Chicago?

Or, does she take her biggest risk yet by accepting Sylvie's offer to jump ship and join the "French revolution?"

When Sylvie announces her departure in the finale, Madeline isn't aware that she plans to launch her own firm.

"Merci beaucoup! You're making my job easier, and the office will operate smoother without you," she tells Sylvie.

As Madeline explains her strategy to hire a "younger, greener, much cheaper" staff in Gilbert Group's Paris office, she assures Emily that the original, more experienced team's exit is a relief. After all, she reasons, they already have a "stacked client roster."

Little does she know, Sylvie is taking the firm's biggest accounts with her. News of the clients' exodus hasn't reached Madeline by the time season two wraps, so the extent of fall-out remains to be seen.

Since arriving to the French capital, Emily has planned on sticking around for one year. Then, she's back to Chicago.

However, now that Sylvie has offered her a spot in the new Paris-based firm, the ex-pat has the option to extend her time in the European city.

"I know you have a life back in Chicago, but we're offering you one here," Sylvie tells her.

Emily has two options: return to the credentialed success and security she's always wanted in Chicago, or embrace the adventurous and unwieldy life she's built in Paris.

Emily and Alfie have a storybook enemies-to-lovers romance in season two.

The American and the Englishman (played by Lucien Laviscount) meet as French class partners with very little in common. Over time, their snide remarks evolve into flirtatious banter, and they're a couple by the end of the season.

When Alfie's work in Paris comes to a close, the banker is forced to return to London, which he assures Emily is "just a train ride away."

Emily seems optimistic about the idea of "color-coded schedules" for visits on "alternating weekends," but she doesn't fully commit right away.

If she does, "Emily in Paris" viewers may be in for a trip to London.

Camille (Camille Razat) and Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) have a complicated history that spans multiple years. And after Emily enters the fold and sleeps with Gabriel, their relationship gets even messier.

The French couple's breakup seems permanent at the beginning of season two (in episode five, Camille even makes Emily promise that neither of them will ever be with Gabriel). As the exes spend more time together in the season's later episodes, they fall into a game of "will they or won't they."

By the finale, Gabriel and Camille have jumped back into their relationship and moved in together.

Will the on-again, off-again couple's relationship work this time around?

Emily is to blame for many of her missteps abroad. She lacks self-control around Gabriel and blatantly lies to Camille. But, in her defense, her proximity to the chef doesn't work in her favor.

She lives one floor above him, meaning she constantly bumps into her neighbor in their walk-up apartment, outside of their building, and at his restaurant around the corner.

Now that Camille has moved in with Gabriel at the end of season two, Emily will surely have the same amount of run-ins with her. Even though they've technically made amends, their dynamic is still somewhat awkward.

Emily may decide to keep the same apartment if she stays in Paris, but she could also move to a new location, one where she doesn't live within earshot of Camille and Gabriel.

Sylvie strikes up a flirtatious romance with a photographer named Erik (Søren Bregendal) in season two.

While she's out getting croissants in the finale, her husband Laurent shows up to her apartment. Erik, who has no knowledge of Sylvie's marital history, is stunned when he answers the door.

She assures Erik that they have been "apart for years" and are married "only on a technicality." Laurent is there for business, she explains, clarifying that it's not the kind of business she has with him.

Technicality or not, Erik seems confused and uncomfortable with the arrangement. It's possible that he can get past the fact that Sylvie didn't tell him she's married, but it also has the potential to get in the way of their burgeoning relationship.

Emily may have left French class with a British beau, but she still has yet to graduate from the introductory course to Madame LeFrak's level two class.

She's not plugging French phrases into Google translate anymore, which is progress, but she's still nowhere near conversational.

If Emily does stay in Paris to work with Sylvie, people will probably expect her to become more comfortable speaking and understanding the native tongue.

The jury's out on whether or not Emily will ever master the language, regardless of how long she's in Paris.
