Camille emerges victorious when the season 2 love triangle concludes, but only thanks to her mother’s interference. Though Camille wasn’t totally honest in her methods of winning Gabriel back, her victory seemed to simplify things when Emily in Paris season 3 began. Gabriel and Camille’s relationship appeared to be mending nicely, even taking some big steps forward while Emily found happiness in her own relationship with Alfie. Of course, things couldn’t stay simple forever and Camille’s victory in season 2 ended up leading to some shocking season 3 moments.
Camille, Gabriel, And Emily’s Season 2 Love Triangle Explained
Camille Eventually Won Gabriel Back Over
Emily in Paris season 2 picked up immediately after the events of season 1. Emily is leading a double life after sleeping with Gabriel, thinking he would return to his hometown. Since the Normandy chef decided to stay and pursue her, Emily is carrying the guilt of getting involved with him, all while maintaining her friendship with Camille. Their affair was revealed and, as expected, Camille felt betrayed, ending her friendship with Emily and punishing her at her job.
Camille finally admits to her parents that she and Gabriel broke up, and that Emily had double-crossed her.
Fortunately, Camille’s wrath does not last long, and she continues her friendship with Emily before eventually reuniting with her lover during the Emily in Paris season 2 ending. In episode 5 of Emily in Paris season 2, Camille finally admits to her parents that she and Gabriel broke up and that Emily had double-crossed her. Upon hearing this, her mother Louise (Camille Japy) launches a campaign to get her daughter and Gabriel back together, and all she asks in return is Camille’s obedience and cooperation.
The actual plan is never revealed, though it resulted in Camille’s comeback. It seems like Louise intends to capitalize on Emily’s guilt and force Camille and Gabriel to spend time together. As Emily gets tossed aside, the former couple becomes reacquainted, triggering memories of their time together and realizing that they are, in fact, a perfect match.
How Camille Got Gabriel Back
Camille & Emily Agree Not To Pursue Gabriel, Which Camille Goes Back On
Over the next episodes, Emily in Paris’ allies turn into villains. Camille seemingly takes back her rash and hurtful actions, and she forgives Emily and places her friend back in charge of the Champére account. After reuniting, Camille and Emily even make a pact not to be romantically involved with Gabriel. Of course, since Emily desperately wants to bury the hatchet, she clings to this promise and actually sets aside whatever feelings she has for him.
Camille slowly worms her way back into Gabriel’s life.
Meanwhile, Camille slowly worms her way back into Gabriel’s life. She shows her support by attending the opening of Chez Lavaux and even offers to manage the rowdy crowd by serving them drinks. As Gabriel sees her regularly, perhaps she will regain his trust and affection, resulting in Camille’s reclamation of Gabriel’s affections and allowing him to see who has been there for him all this time.
Moreover, in a continuous attempt to sideline Emily and Gabriel’s romance storyline, Emily has been invited back to the château, where Gérard (Christophe Guybet) has a bloody yet minor accident. Regardless, Louise still urges Gabriel to visit and spend time with the family. She even lies about the extent of her husband’s condition and pushes the narrative that it was Emily’s recklessness that caused the accident.
As Camille becomes more visible in Gabriel’s life, Louise subtly taints Emily’s reputation, framing her daughter as the more viable option to pursue. With the mother-and-daughter plan seemingly successful, Gabriel once again chooses to be with Camille. This then set up the long-awaited Emily and Alfie romance of season 3.
