"In the season premiere, as Emily (Collins) is in Rome, Mindy (Park) reconnects with Emily's British ex Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), which ends up getting more romantic and emotional than expected. They don't act on their newfound connection until they head to Rome and start hooking up, but promise to keep it an Italian fling. Naturally, that plan fails. As soon as she read the script, Park "panicked immediately," and turned to Collins, who is also an executive producer on the show, for confirmation."
""I'm always like... 'Help me,'" she recalls. "I think I panicked because I think Alfie's really into [Emily], and what people love so much about Mindy is her friendship and loyalty to Emily, so I was like, 'Are we completely demolishing these characters?'" When Emily finds out through her petty colleague Geneviève (Thalia Besson) - who she had just fired - it causes a rift between the BFFs, leading Mindy to move out of their apartment."
