That way, they would have been together and could have worked through all of the things that happened to Bay with Tank. Why not let him withdraw, as he was on his computer doing, and move back home to KC to be with her, until she was able to go to LA with him? (Although Emmett's solution was to press charges and get Tank off the street so he could not do it again, and Bay wanted nothing to do with that.)īut I still don't know why Bay had to tell Emmett BEFORE he withdrew from school. Perhaps Bay thought Emmett could help her process what had taken place with Tank and figure out what it all meant and what she should do about it, if anything. And I remember on the beach, Bay said, "I waited for you to come back to me to talk through what had happened with Tank," so Bay wanted to talk things through with Emmett. Well considering she didn't know what happen exactly that's probably why I don't understand why it is so surprising to Bay, though, when that is indeed what Emmett says. In essence, Bay was saying to Emmett that once he knew the truth, he may no longer choose to be with her. But it does puzzle me that Bay thought Emmett needed to listen to the truth before he decided what to do about his college. Nothing should have made him react the way that he did. My thoughts are that Emmett is a horrible human being. And it's difficult to gauge whether Emmett is a horrible human being for abandoning Bay in the way that he did, without knowing Bay's words to Emmett.
We do not know what made Emmett react the way that he did. It's frustrating for me as a viewer, because we did not have an opportunity to see or hear what Bay told Emmett. If their relationship is so damaged that he no longer wants to make a sacrifice to be with her (especially when she is fragile), then it is probably so damaged that he doesn't want her packing up all of her belongings and moving 2000 miles across the country to be with him.

It makes no sense that Bay would feel as though she was no longer worthy of Emmett making a sacrifice to be with her, and yet, simultaneously feel as though Emmett would still welcome her with open arms once she was free to travel. Either her actions were bad enough to end their relationship or they weren't. She expected him to no longer want to move home to be with her, based on what she did with Tank, yet she expected him to be open to her moving to LA to be with him, as soon as she could. I can't see Emmett telling Bay, "Well, what you did really sucks, so our relationship is no longer important enough for me to sacrifice my education for you, but I still care about you so you can move out to LA to be with me, when your parole is up."Īnd that seems to be what Bay expected of Emmett. If Bay thought that what she had to share with Emmett was so bad that he would not want to do that for her, then why did Bay think Emmett would want her to move to LA to be with him? Like Emmett said, he could withdraw from his first semester and return to LA with Bay for his second semester. If Bay thought it was okay to move herself to LA to live with Emmett, then she should have thought it was okay for Emmett to move himself back home to be with her. In Bay's mind, either her role in the happenings that night was bad enough to break up their relationship, or it wasn't. In my mind, if something Bay has done is so bad that Emmett would no longer want to quit school to be with her, then it is not a stretch to imagine that it is probably also so bad that Emmett would not want Bay to move to LA to be with him.
Bay didn't want Emmett to sacrifice something important to him, until he knew how badly she had betrayed their relationship.īut now that I reflect on that, it doesn't make sense, because Bay was absolutely floored in disbelief when Emmett didn't want her to move to LA to be with him.

Why was it important to Bay for Emmett to listen to her explain what happened during her night with Tank, before he dropped out of college for the semester?īay wouldn't even allow Emmett to e-mail his adviser about a withdrawal, until he listened to her explain the full story.Īt first, I thought Bay might feel as though Emmett would not want to quit school, if he knew her part in the night's events. I have a question about the storyline, and I need others' thoughts.
