Exclusive: Lily Collins & Ashley Park Unpack Their 'Emily In Paris' Fight

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.

A few years ago, they had a kerfuffle that put a strain on their relationship. My wife and I don't want to play games or favorites, so we invite them both to events.

I couldn't spend that kind of money on a party. I explained to her that I could not afford to be there, and since then, she's been cold.
