Sundae, Bloody Sundae
Emily walks down a street, hand-in-hand with Tommy who tells her he's going back to the hospital to find out the truth. Tommy gives her a bracelet she'd been interested in in Paris before they kiss. Emily then enters Moe's Ice Cream Parlor while Tommy teleports back to the hospital.
Later that day, Emily serves Caspar Abraham who, unknown to her, intends to erase her memories of Tommy. Caspar notices the bracelet Tommy gave her and she explains that her boyfriend got it for her in Paris. Caspar prepares to erase Emily's memory, but stops at the last moment, realizing that Emily is in love with Tommy. Caspar then tells Emily that she should treasure those memories as first loves only come around once. Emily then heads to deal with another customer only to find it to be Joanne Collins who holds Emily at gunpoint. Emily tries to talk Joanne down, but Joanne just orders her to sit down and get rid of Caspar when he asks for how much money he owes her. Caspar tries to use his memory erasing powers to save Emily, but his pennies don't reach far enough and Joanne takes him hostage as well and locks up the ice cream parlor.
After Joanne calls Tommy using Emily's phone, Emily sits beside Caspar at the counter as he offers to use his powers to give Joanne a release from her pain. As she contemplates it, Tommy teleports in and tries to plead for Caspar and Emily's lives. Caspar throws his briefcase of pennies at Joanne, but she shoots it and then Caspar, killing him to Emily's horror. Tommy pleads with Joanne to let Emily live and he'll do whatever she wants, but Joanne tells him she's going to kill Emily before killing Tommy. Before she can shoot, they are interrupted by Luke. Tommy and Emily watch the confrontation between Luke and Joanne that ends with Joanne stating she'll kill Emily as Luke kills her so that everyone wins. As Luke blasts a stream of fire at Joanne and Joanne fires at Emily, Tommy manages to freeze time at the last moment, saving Emily and Joanne. After redirecting Luke's fire and Joanne's bullet, Tommy teleports away with Emily.
Tommy teleports outside of his mother's hospital room with Emily and Emily watches as Tommy tells Noah Bennet of Caspar's death. When Tommy can't teleport, he and Noah prepare to run and Tommy tells the still-frightened Emily to stay behind with his mother. As Tommy is dragged away by Quentin and Phoebe, Emily emerges and watches her boyfriend get dragged away.
Send in the Clones
In the convention center of the present-day Gateway, Tommy finds Emily at a vending machine and is relieved to see her and his mother who is with her. Emily and Anne tell Tommy that they had to flee Carbondale after an electrical storm caused a fire. Erica tells them that she had them evacuated to Gateway as Tommy wanted it and Emily watches, uneasy, as Anne asks Erica for answers and Erica promises to send Tommy back with them. Before leaving with Erica, Tommy kisses Emily on the cheek as a goodbye.
Later that night, Emily stands next to Tommy and Anne as Micah Sanders makes a broadcast exonerating Mohinder Suresh for his role in the Odessa Unity Summit bombing and exposing Erica Kravid as the true perpetrator.
Company Woman
After Micah's broadcast, Emily approaches Tommy, asking if he's really going to keep working with Erica Kravid after what they just learned. However, Tommy tells her that the H.E.L.E. is coming and they have to save as many people as they can. Tommy notices that Emily is not wearing her transport watch and Emily explains that she hasn't gotten it yet. Tommy tells her to make sure to get it "just in case" and leaves. A worried Emily tries to follow but is blocked by two guards.
Later, Ren Shimosawa finds Emily crying on a bench and asks her what's wrong. Emily tells him that she's afraid her friend is about to make a terrible mistake as he trusts Erica Kravid and Ren tells her he's on a quest to "find the Master of Time and Space." Cheering up a bit, Emily tells Ren "dude, I'm dating him." The two decide to find Tommy and try to keep him from making a mistake.
Making their way through Gateway, Ren recognizes part of it as being similar to Evernow. He tells a confused Emily that Hachiro Otomo must've designed both and leads her to an elevator he thinks will take them to the core of the facility where they can find Tommy. The two enter the elevator, but are unable to access it. Ren realizes that an indent in a knob is similar to a necklace a construct of Hachiro Otomo had given him and tries it in the elevator. To their relief, the elevator then takes them down to the core where they find Hachiro and watch in horror as he uploads Tommy into the Eternal Fortress before being sedated.
Project Reborn
After Hachiro is taken away, Emily asks Ren where Tommy is. Ren realizes that Tommy has been trapped in Evernow and the two watch as Erica Kravid broadcasts a video to the residents of Gateway about the coming disaster before using the space-time bridge to transport everyone with a watch, including Emily and Ren, forward in time to Gateway in 9972. Ren and Emily emerge from the underground facility with the rest of the Gateway residents and look out upon the future.
Ren and Emily return to the underground area in hopes of finding Miko Otomo, the only person who can enter Evernow and save Tommy. Seeing two men emerge from a room with a stretcher, Emily realizes that its where Hachiro was taken and enters the room with Ren to find many evos trapped in stasis pods, including Hachiro. Noticing a slot in the control panel that matches Ren's key, Emily points it out to him and when Ren inserts the key, the pods deactivate and start to awaken those trapped inside. Emily and Ren free Hachiro then locate the real Miko Otomo. Mistaking her for the Miko construct, Emily and Ren are unable to understand why she can't recognize Ren. As the two try to figure it out, the pods suddenly reactivate and Richard Schwenkman holds them at gunpoint, calling into a radio he has found the intruders and reactivated the pods. However, Hachiro kills him from behind to keep Richard from using anymore of his creations for evil. Emily watches as Hachiro and his daughter finally reunite and reminds him that Hachiro has trapped Tommy in Evernow. Hachiro tells them that to rescue Tommy, Ren must enter the game and save him. After Ren agrees, Hachiro transports him into Evernow, leaving Emily alone with Miko and Hachiro.
After Ren rescues Tommy, the two emerge from the game to find Emily held hostage by Erica and her men alongside Hachiro, Miko and Tommy's mother. Erica tells Tommy that if he changes time to stop the H.E.L.E., the future they are in will be erased from existence and everyone in it, including Emily, Anne and thousands of innocent people. Erica tells Tommy he has to choose a world and holds a gun to Emily's head to force him to choose. However, Tommy figures out how to split himself in two so he can be in two places at once and do both. Erica moves the gun from Emily to fire at Tommy, but Tommy freezes time before the bullet can kill him and splits himself in two with one Tommy going back to change the H.E.L.E. The second Tommy moves around the room, transporting all but Erica back to the present. When Tommy reaches Emily, he sends her back with a kiss rather than touching her with his hand as he usually does.
Three months after the H.E.L.E. is averted, Emily continues to work at Moe's Ice Cream Parlor with Tommy and continues to date him. Tommy makes her an origami crane and the two are confused when they find that a customer left a tarot card behind on his table.
