Good lord but this does not dissuade the Italian stallion, who is too smitten to care.

For now, hes helping her lug her suitcases up the stairs.

Isnt it, like, 9 a.m.?

Emilys work look is veryBritney doing Robert Palmer in that perfect Pepsi commercial.

You know, I dont hate it.

Do I love it as much as Sylvies metallic halter?

Getoveryour loser chef before I riot!!

Does anyone at Netflix want to arrange this?

Marcello is here to take care of every last detail of her stay.

(This is the closest thing we will ever get to a sex scene on this show.)

I just hope she reapplied her sunscreen.

Her pale shoulders in that Italian sun are making me nervous.

Emily says, This city is so beautiful!

so that the season hits its quota of lines like that.

I assumed such a thing was contractually forbidden.

Marcello invites Emily to spend the next day with him at his family house in the countryside.

As if she has any other plans!

and implores Emily to say ciao to Luc for me.

He gets right to it: He wants Mindy to drop out of Eurovision.

He is game to help her make any music-industry connections she wants but cant put up with this nonsense.

Mindy realizes she has fallen into a humiliating pattern: accidentally dating someone exactly like her dad.

(This is probably part of why she was drawn to him in the first place, no?

Something fun for her to examine in therapy!)

Well, its better to have an insane outfit and sound logic than the other way around.

Naturally, she outs Emily as not being in Krakau but in Rome.

but Sylvies sense is that she must intervene, ASAP.

So she violates one of her cardinal rules: She calls Emily on vacation.

However, she has trained her menteetoowell, and Emily refuses to work on her holiday.

Good for you, Emily!

Now for a tale of two parties.

Gabriel looks mostly miserable at Genevieves soiree, which he was strong-armed into attending.

The party where Marcello takes Emily is clearly the winner of the two.

!But Marcello puts her in a cab so shes rested for their early-morning trip to the village.

In her hotel room that night, Emily finds a bottle of Champagne from Sylvie.

Emily is livid but Sylvie assures her that this was the only call.

This is bigger than you, Emily.

So much juicy plot!

Such great character moments!

And were clocking in at exactly 28 minutes for the episode.

What did I tell you?

Much like Sylvie, if I may say so myself, I promise I know what Im talking about.
