As a dedicated fan of the show, I must say that the latest season of Emily in Paris has truly outdone itself with the intricate love triangles it’s weaving! While I’m Team Alfie all the way when it comes to Emily, Mindy’s own romantic entanglement is causing quite a stir.
Warning: Spoilers ahead from Emily in Paris season 4 part 1.
With the debut of Emily in Paris season 4 part 1, all eyes will be on Emily’s intricate love triangle involving Gabriel and Alfie, as she makes her decision about whom to choose. Meanwhile, Emily’s friend Mindy finds herself in a tangled web of romantic complications with Benoit and Nicolas.
In the first half of season 4, Mindy is involved in a serious relationship with Nicolas (portrayed by Paul Forman, who’s in a real-life relationship with Ashley Park), and she’s also part of a band with Benoit. The group, which includes Etienne, has been chosen to represent France in Eurovision. However, they require a substantial amount of money to ensure their performance at the competition is truly spectacular.
For the initial five episodes of the season, Mindy’s personal and work life experiences different twists that might lead viewers to take sides between her bandmate and her wealthy boyfriend who is a heir. Who does Mindy end up with this season, and what would be the best choice for her? Let’s delve into all the Mindy-focused spoilers from the recent episodes!
Mindy’s own Emily in Paris love triangle
At the start of season 4, Mindy along with her bandmates Benoit and Etienne were gearing up for Eurovision. However, they soon discovered that they lacked sufficient funds to stage an extravagant performance. Despite their history, Mindy and Benoit seemed to collaborate effectively, moving past old issues. It’s worth noting that there was obvious chemistry between them whenever they sang together.
Mindy’s bond with Nicolas encounters some difficulties as she resists him trying to transform her into a suitable girlfriend for the De Leon family dynasty. To impress his father, he presents her with a high-end outfit for a tennis event. However, when Mindy overhears Nicolas not defending her during a conversation with his dad who criticized her for “dressing modestly this time,” she decides dramatically to sell the costly dress for funds needed for Eurovision.
Throughout the season, Nicolas displays some flaws, one of which involves him attempting to safeguard JVMA’s and his father’s reputation when he is publicly accused of sexual harassment. However, as events unfold, he also learns from these experiences. At first, Nicolas chooses to align himself with his father, but Mindy’s plea for truth resonates with him, causing him to reconsider. He seeks Mindy’s support during this challenging time, and she promises to stand by him as long as he remains on the side of what is right.
The disagreement they had regarding that issue intensified significantly following Sylvie’s public statements, leading to an argument when Mindy declined to attend a charity event with the De Leon family for photographs. Mindy asked Nicolas to prioritize her over taking any stance, and he did so by attending Sylvie’s club opening, albeit missing Mindy’s performance on that occasion.
Mindy is genuinely glad she didn’t attend the performance since it wasn’t staged between her, Benoit, and their genuine feelings for each other. Their on-stage chemistry is authentic, but not entirely contrived. It’s evident that Benoit feels a pang of jealousy when they kiss, suggesting that the love triangle in Emily in Paris season 4 part 2 will indeed become more intense.
Similar to how Emily finds herself caught between Gabriel and Alfie, Mindy is faced with two compelling romantic prospects. She shares a deep connection with Benoit as fellow artists, but her relationship with Nicolas is steeped in grandeur and larger-than-life passion. Given the simplicity and authenticity of Benoit, he may seem like the preferred choice for Mindy. Their relationship doesn’t involve complications from family matters.
In season 4, Nicolas stands out for his commitment and willingness to change. He heeded Mindy’s counsel and acted upon it, which led him to refuse working at JVMA as long as his father remained CEO. This bold move resulted in the board asking his dad to step down. His dedication to their partnership with Mindy is evident, and he won many viewers over this season by demonstrating these qualities.
Currently, Mindy and Nicholas make up the pairing. Regardless of whether they are destined to be together in the long run or not, their relationship provides valuable insights for both of them. Similar to Emily and Alfie, it’s essential for each of them to continue navigating this connection. At present, Mindy is with Nicolas as far as season 4 part 1 goes, but that doesn’t mean the story between her and Benoit has reached its conclusion.
