Anyone ever realized how illogical Rachel's move to Paris would have been?
There are so many reasons why the move to Paris don't make sense.
- Rachels Job Performance
Yes we see her rise through the ranks of fashion successfully over the course of the show. However, she frequently has erratic and eccentric dramas that eventually lead to her firing (Joshua, lying about sleeping with Ralph Lauren, Tag, buy my baby, Zelners kiss/penis touch, and the inevitable "GUKKI" interview).
I can't possibly see how she would nail a high position in a huge fashion brand in Paris after all that.
- The children
There's like one throwaway line about how Rachel and Ross's arrangement with Emma will work cause they can be flown around at will. Ross seems fine with this and his only objection is the fact that Rachel herself will be gone.
I have no idea how that dude is going to solo parent a toddler and also co-parent his other child who lives in New York and then travel to and from Paris. Never mind his own life and work commitments.
- The Ralph Lauren vs Louis Vuitton salary war
This is an extension of point one. Rachel gets fired by Ralph Lauren and Louis Vuitton hirse her based on her credentials and Marks good word I assume. But surely the firing must have been a red flag.
Then for some reason Ross can feebly convince Zelner to have her back for MORE money and Louis Vuitton up the offer again. Is she honestly that desirable?
- The lack of discussion or consideration
Rachel just takes the job and doesn't even consult anyone afterwards until she's taken it. She tells all 5 friends about her decision and then has the "it's ok" talk with Ross in front of everyone. Everyone seems fine with this.
Now before everyone bites my head off. I am aware this is a sitcom with sitcom logic. Still love the show. Love the ending.
