Game and Watch Forever:
Sometimes people need a good kick in the rear (metaphorically and in rarest of occasions literally) in order to learn an important lesson in how they interact within the world and with those around them. That's bound to make them unhappy.
Not saying that Emily deserves it... this time. The Pintsize thing, while hilarious, probably taught her enough (example - she asks Claire to play with her hair rather than just does it).
But to your point Method, I'd say nobody deserves to be permanently unhappy.

I wonder if she has played it when making love with Tai?
Is it cold in here?:
I understand -- I feel bad for Emily too.
Jeph has a way of fleshing out characters who at first seem to be cardboard cutouts. This feels likely to happen with Emily.
On the other hand, doesn't she seem like the type to bounce back quickly?

You can always get back to that sometime in the future (or past :D).

She's not a cardboard cutout (OK, she's a cartoon character, but you know what I mean).
She's upset. She doesn't deserve to be.
If I had one word to describe her, it might be "stunted". "Blighted" perhaps. Nowhere near the complete human she has the potential to be.
Lonely too.

What seems and what is are sometimes two different things. Yeah, Emily has an air-headedness that would be synonymous with the word "bimbo", but sometimes there is more to people's behaviour than just how they act.

How so?
