Where did you grow up? Rosewood, Pennsylvania.

It seems like people (largely on reddit, which admittedly is a cesspool of negativity) seem to be disliking and turning away from TP more and more every week. It’s not only sad to see, but it’s also crazy to me, because I find myself far more invested now than I was during the first few episodes.

There are definitely things that could be improved, or things that they clearly should have done differently (stopppppp with the constant PLL references!!!), but saying that it’s “really bad” and that it’s worse than the last few seasons of PLL (???) is just beyond anything I can understand. But, you know, different strokes I suppose.

Emily never truly trusted Ali.

Can we just talk about this for a second? Because probably the biggest complaint that I’m seeing from Emison fans about the divorce is that it’s not true to Emily’s character, that she loved and trusted Ali more than anything, and that it makes no sense that she suddenly can’t be with her anymore.

But if you look back at PLL, it’s actually made pretty freaking clear that Emily never honestly and fully trusted Ali.

Just look at the dream that Emily had in the penultimate episode. 

Vivian Darkbloom, Holly Varjak, Emma Thorwald…all of Ali’s old aliases and secret identities. Even though Emily was in a relationship with Ali at this point and claimed to love and trust her, this dream indicated that subconsciously, she was unable to totally let go of the version of Ali that snuck around, kept secrets, and told lies before anything else.

Even in the finale, after Emison had been together for over a year, we see pretty strong indications that Emily isn’t trusting. Just the sight of Alison having a private, whispered conversation with Pam, of all people, is enough to send her into a tailspin of paranoia and suspicion. 

This is completely abnormal behavior. She completely grilled Alison, was near hysterical, and absolutely refused to accept that Ali wasn’t up to something until she was presented with concrete proof. There is really no justification for this scene other than Emily not trusting Ali, even after a year.

And even Emily’s reaction to Ali’s (admittedly very inappropriate) line about Addison is telling. She seemed to take it pretty seriously for someone who supposedly trusts Ali 100%.

When looking at all of this, it makes no sense to say that Emily was completely head over heels and trusting when she and Alison ended PLL. They may have been happy together, and in love to an extent, but it’s clear that even back then Emily wasn’t completely confident that Ali had really changed. Maybe spending three years constantly second-guessing everything her partner was doing, and always wondering in the back of her mind if Ali really could be trusted, became more trouble than it was worth.
