We’re halfway through the season, unpacking Emily’s return to Paris (and why it finally feels like home), the friendships and relationships imploding around her, and the noticeable shift in how the writers are handling her character. Friendships, Fights & Questionable Choices:We break down the Emily–Mindy fallout over Alfie, and why Emily keeps apologising when she maybe shouldn’t. What The Writers Are Doing With Emily:Are the producers trying to make Emily more likeable at the expense of everyone else? We unpack the “everyone gets worse so you root for the lead” trope — and why it risks flattening what made her compelling. The American-ness Of It All:Emily finding comfort in her American expat bubble, Jake’s criminally short screen time, and why going back to your cultural roots abroad makes sense. It’s a deep dive into Paris, power suits, friendship fractures and the big creative choices shaping the back half of Season 5. Read The Spill's Em Vernem's article on the 6 types of arguers.
