Do Alfie And Emily Get Back Together In Emily In Paris Season 4? Unpacking Their Future

Ah, Emily in Paris. A show synonymous with stunning Parisian backdrops, fabulous fashion, and, of course, a perpetually tangled love life for its titular character, Emily Cooper. Since her arrival in the City of Lights, Emily has found herself at the center of a compelling love triangle involving her charming chef neighbor, Gabriel, and the equally charming British banker, Alfie. For seasons, fans have been divided, asking: Team Gabriel or Team Alfie?

With the highly anticipated release of Emily in Paris Season 4 Part 1, one of the biggest questions on everyone's minds was the fate of Emily and Alfie's relationship. Did they manage to repair their bond and rekindle their romance? Or is their chapter officially closed? Let's dive into what Season 4 Part 1 revealed and what the future might hold for "Emfie."

A Whirlwind Romance: Emily and Alfie's Journey So Far

Emily Cooper and Alfie first got together in the second season of Netflix’s romantic series ‘Emily in Paris.’ Their relationship offered a refreshing dynamic, with Alfie's grounded, sarcastic wit providing a contrast to Emily's sometimes overly optimistic American sensibility. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Emily’s feelings for Gabriel hadn’t evaporated from her heart, a fact that always lingered beneath the surface of her relationship with Alfie.

Season 3 saw Emily and Alfie separated from one another due to the escalating drama surrounding Gabriel and Camille's wedding. Their relationship ultimately didn’t survive Camille’s wedding debacle. “I knew there was something,” Alfie said after Camille ran off, realizing the depth of Emily’s true feelings for Gabriel. He told Emily that he wouldn't be a second choice, effectively ending their romantic entanglement.

Season 4 Part 1: The End of the Road for Emfie?

So, did they get back together in the first half of the latest season? Unfortunately, Emily and Alfie don't repair their relationship and get back together in Emily in Paris season 4 part 1. While this might be disappointing news for Team Alfie, the season made it clear that Emily's heart, for now, belongs elsewhere.

After three seasons of a compelling will-they-won’t-they dynamic, Emily in Paris Season 4, Part 1 showed Emily (Lily Collins) and Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) finally getting together. This long-awaited reunion for Emily and Gabriel was a major turning point, seemingly solidifying Emily’s choice.

Despite their official breakup, Alfie's feelings for Emily were far from over. Alfie and Emily kissed each other goodbye in Season 4, Episode 1, but it did not stop there. Episode 3 revealed that he is still in love with her, opening up his feelings to Emily. Even after their breakup, it's clear that Alfie still has unresolved feelings for her. This becomes evident when, during the masquerade ball organized by Agence Grateau, Emily and Alfie reunite and they flirt with one another. It's clear that the spark between them is still there and Alfie still holds a torch for her.

Since Emily does not get back together with Gabriel soon after her break up with Alfie, the latter believes that he still has a chance to win her back. Alfie even confronts Gabriel about the wedding incident, seeking clarity and perhaps a measure of closure or understanding.

However, the masquerade ball proved to be the definitive moment. Emily meets Gabriel and Alfie at the masquerade and finally decides to love Gabriel at the end. This leads Alfie heartbroken twice, as he watches Emily and Gabriel leave the event together. At the masquerade ball, Emily chooses Gabriel, so Alfie leaves — though he and Emily never have a final conversation about their relationship ending. The show seems to be moving past their romantic connection.

Will Alfie Return in Season 4 Part 2?

Even though Alfie and Emily didn't reconcile in Part 1, his story isn't over yet. Alfie does not appear in episode 4 or 5 of season 4, but there's still a possibility he could pop up again later down the line in Part 2. Showrunner Darren Star confirms Alfie will return in Emily in Paris season 4 part 2. Lucien Laviscount, the actor who plays Alfie, has also hinted at his character's continued presence, teasing that "things are set to continue to be a little bumpy when it comes to Alfie and Emily."

The Likelihood of a Reunion: Why It's Unlikely

While Alfie's return is confirmed, the chances of him and Emily getting back together seem slim, based on several factors:

Emily's Choice: Emily has clearly chosen Gabriel, at least for now. Her decision at the masquerade ball was a strong indicator of where her heart lies.
Alfie's Stance on Love Triangles: Emily and Alfie will likely not get back together, though, as Alfie’s previous relationships suggest that he will not risk being at the center of a love triangle. He made it clear in Season 3 that he wouldn't be a secondary option, and his character seems consistent in this regard.
Focus on Emily and Gabriel: The story will be adding more complexity to Emily and Gabriel's relationship, suggesting that their dynamic will be the primary romantic focus moving forward.
Friendship Territory: While Collins is putting Emily and Alfie’s relationship firmly in friendship territory, there's a slight complication. Emily doesn’t know that Alfie kissed someone he thought was her at the masquerade party in a moment of confusion. This unresolved thread could add drama but doesn't necessarily point to a romantic rekindling.

What Does This Mean for Alfie?

Alfie's journey in Season 4 Part 1 was one of lingering hope and eventual heartbreak. He was heartbroken twice, first by the wedding debacle and then by Emily's definitive choice of Gabriel at the masquerade. His character's return in Part 2 suggests that he will continue to be a part of Emily's life, perhaps as a friend, a colleague, or even a new romantic interest for someone else in their circle. His presence will undoubtedly add more layers to the already complex Parisian drama, but a romantic reunion with Emily seems to be off the cards.

Final Summary

In summary, no, Emily and Alfie do not get back together in Emily in Paris Season 4 Part 1. Emily makes a clear choice to pursue a relationship with Gabriel, leaving Alfie heartbroken. While Alfie is confirmed to return in Part 2 and still harbors feelings for Emily, the narrative strongly suggests that their romantic chapter has closed, primarily due to Emily's commitment to Gabriel and Alfie's aversion to being part of a love triangle. Fans can expect more drama, but likely not a rekindling of the "Emfie" romance, as the show seems poised to explore the complexities of Emily and Gabriel's newfound relationship.
