Okay but my constant question is why would Journal!Lucy include Emma in the journal for Flynn to find in the first place? Wasn’t that chaotically dangerous to do, especially when she apparently gave Flynn no context about who Emma was…? Because isn’t Emma’s character and return to the present what started this whole Rittenhouse 2.0? Did Journal!Lucy not know?
If she did indeed know who and what Emma was/is then… Well, all I know is Journal!Lucy had to know Flynn was going to go looking for Emma… and Journal!Lucy did purposely give Flynn the journal so…
What if Emma is not actually bad? I mean I love her as a baddie and so far this season Emma hasn’t really given us any reason to doubt her Rittenhouse (cold blooded) loyalty… BUT what if that’s all part of the game?
Lucy snarled at Emma about how fickle Emma’s loyaltyies are and how she’s betrayed everyone she’s worked with so far at the farmhouse in 2x01. Emma immediately responded by saying she’s always been loyal to Rittenhouse; and while I suppose she was kind of/sort of the first sleeper agent… what if that’s not it?
What if the reason Journal!Lucy wrote her into the journal was because she knew something about Emma that we don’t… for example where her loyalties actually lie…? Perhaps Emma trying to prove her worth to Rittenhouse is the reason Emma’s so cut throat with our Lucy, because in order to prove her loyalty Emma has to be exceptionally harsh and cruel so that everyone believes her… Similar in the way that Lucy killed the soldier to attempt to prove her loyalty to Rittenhouse and her mother…
We don’t often have a chance to see Emma’s struggles, we did see that she clearly did not want to kill Millerson’s pregnant wife in the beginning of 2x02 but she was also very willing to use her as leverage in order to get Millerson to do the job he was sent to do…
Not to mention, that for all her threats she sure does hesitate a whole lot when it comes to actually killing ‘The prodigal princess and her boy toys’ when she has the chance… because let’s be honest she’s has plenty of chances, even way back in 1x14. She was standing RIGHT THERE and she could have so easily offed Lucy and Rufus but instead she let them go… and I know she may not have had the go ahead from her Rittenhouse bosses back then but seriously that’s just one time out of at least five chances she’s had the real opportunity to kill one or more of our Time Team.
I don’t know but all I’m saying is that Emma is an intriguing character to say the least and I’m interested to see where this season takes her.
Besides this is all just a thought, but it’s just something that’s been spinning inside my head since the premiere and hasn’t stopped with each new Emma scene we get. So I figured I’d share to see what other people are thinking. *shrug emoji*
Also and totally unrelated, but are we going to get any news about where ex-fiancé Dr. Noah’s loyalty lies this season or are they just going to let him drop off the face of the earth? I was almost half expecting him to be in that final scene in 2x02 where Keynes is explaining his “not map” for ruling the future, it would have been a perfect opportunity to just blow another hole in everything, lol.
