Where is Emma

[alexandria24]

I think Emma needs to hear about the hell Emily is in. I'm sure being with Scott must be a trial now, and to think the one that she should love is going through all of this hell should make her 'do something'. I'm losing my ability to watch Emily be tortured, I'm really hoping for a sign of hope soon.

You'll be pleased to knoe that between various things happening, it's been almost a month. Which according to the epilogue is when Emma returns all by herself.

So we'll be seeing her next time.

It's probably just as well, because even if they knew her real identity, I don't think anyone's solution would be to call Emily's all too recent ex to come and help. (Though it is true that Emma would have shot back here in a flash if she knew what Emily was going through.)

For me as an author, this is kind of firing the gun I hung up on the wall way back in part 4 of Faces - Emily deals with the (considerable) stress of her job using (usually very anonymous) sex as a permission trigger to release it.

So what happens if that stops working for her?
