Emma catches Rachel trying to throw up in the bathroom. Rachel wants to be thinner and prettier like Quinn Fabray. Rachel asks her if she's ever liked a guy so much that it makes her cry and, although she doesn't tell Rachel exactly, she knows this feeling all too well - she glances towards Will who is standing outside of her office and a clip is shown of her sobbing loudly in her car along to the song All By Myself.

Later, Emma runs into Will during his janitorial shift. While she helps him clean, Emma confides that a childhood incident has left her hating messes. He helps her work through it by intimately putting chalk on her nose, and the two nearly kiss. Football coach Ken Tanaka sees the whole thing through the window. Ken confronts her about this and tells her that she is stupid for chasing a married guy. He tells her that he is a good man for her and that she won't do much better than him in their town. Emma is convinced by this and tries to put a stop to her and Will's flirtations by starting to date Ken.

Emma, who never agreed with Will's idea in the first place, is vomited on by a drunken Kurt (who got the alcohol from April). After four decontamination showers in the E.R., she warns Will that April is a bad influence on the kids.

Terri tells Emma not to bother sleeping with Will as she is already screwed; Hello was her and Will's prom song. Emma is in denial so Terri tells her to look it up in that year's Thunderclap. The next day Will is in Emma's office looking at some of her books when she walks in. She hands him the yearbook that she has just gotten from the library and tells him to turn to the page of the prom.

She and Will watch the pep rally performance of Gimme More including Brittany obviously lip-syncing while eating Cheetos. Will and Emma later begin tutoring Brittany.

Makeover

Glee.403

Will goes to see Emma as his guidance counselor instead of his fiance, seeking encouragement for an opportunity to apply to join a blue ribbon panel for arts education. He tells her it would mean leaving the school, and the kids, for several months. Emma encourages him to follow his dreams, just as she would with the kids. He brings up their relationship and the life they're beginning together, but she tells him, "Weddings can wait." She then hands him a pen saying they can handle it together if he gets the position.

The Break-Up

Glee.404

The Scientist

Will comes home to tell Emma that he got the job with the Blue Ribbon, and both of them are happy for his success. When Will starts getting ahead of himself and starts planning their future in Washington DC, Emma doesn't like the idea. She's happy for him, but she doesn't want to drop all of stuff and leave her job behind to just follow him, and leaves upset.

She sings along with Will in The Scientist with Finn, Rachel, Kurt, Blaine, Santana, and Brittany, and shows a flashback kiss they shared in Sectionals.

The Role You Were Born to Play

Emma is first seen with Will having counseling. She feels that her desires are not being cared about by Will. When Shannon gives some words of advice, Will then apologizes, and asks her again to come to Washington D.C. with him. Emma gives a hesitant "Yes," which worries Shannon. Emma is next seen in her office looking online for hotel rooms in Washington without carpets as she is worried about the many kinds of diseases they hold. Shannon enters and tells her that the worst thing in a relationship (apart from hitting) is lying. She tells Emma that she has to tell Will that she doesn't want to go with him. Finally when Will comes home from work, he finds Emma in the kitchen making a lot of food, and she tells him that she is just trying out new recipes, which Will does not agree to, and asks her what is wrong. She then tells him she does not want to go with him to Washington D.C., and says her reasons. She then also realizes the bigger missions of being a wife, and they agree to make their relationship work along the way.

Thanksgiving

Diva

Emma in Diva

Emma is first seen in the Teacher's Lounge where she is busy planning for her wedding which is ten days away. Finn tells her his concerns for the New Directions, feeling they don't have the killer instinct that is needed to win Regionals. Emma suggests a "Diva Week" which Finn happily accepts. Emma then accepts his offer of her being a celebrity judge to find the best diva. Emma is next seen defining what a diva is to the Glee club. During her description, Unique, Tina, Brittany, Blaine, Kitty and Marley perform Diva. The scene ends with Emma explaining that her diva-ness caused the manager of the Cheesecake Factory to cry. She is next seen sat with Finn enjoying Blaine's performance of Don't Stop Me Now. Finn and Emma then introduce Santana to the glee club and seem to be enjoying her performance of Nutbush City Limits.

Finn comes to Emma's office for some counselling after seeing Rachel had changed her Facebook status to 'Shacked Up' whilst his is still 'Heartbroken'. Emma tells him not to worry and even hands him one of her infamous pamphlets ('So She Moved in With Someone Else...OUCH'). She says there is still time to find someone and even suggests the new maths assistant. As Finn is leaving her office, Emma asks him to chose a centrepiece for the wedding. He chooses the white one because he believes white represents purity. She appears happy with his decision. Emma is next seen standing with the New Directions in the courtyard whilst Tina performs Hung Up. She seems surprised by Tina's new diva attitude. Emma and Finn present the award for the glee club's Diva and cheers when Tina is announced as the winner. 

Towards the end of the episode Finn visits Emma in her office to find her in wedding-overdrive. She is worrying because Will said the centrepiece was 'fine' which she worries that she doesn't like it. Emma then starts to have a panic attack saying how her marriage to Carl was a disaster and she doesn't want the same to happen with Will, throwing all her wedding plans and materials into the bins. Finn tries to tell her to stop, but she gets more and more upset. Finn then kisses Emma which leaves them both visibly shocked. Finn hurries out of the office and the scene ends with Emma physically shaking over what has happened. 

Emma first appears in her office, still in a flurry over her wedding. Finn enters and confesses how guilty he'll feel about looking Will in the eye, knowing he kissed Emma. Emma bluntly tells Finn to get over it and continues sorting out the table arrangements just as Will enters. He sees Emma is flustered over the wedding and promises to help, right after seeing the New Directions. He kisses his fiancee and leaves with Finn leaving Emma working on her wedding alone. 

I Do 

Emma appears on her wedding day in a waiting room in her dress. She appears visibly sick about walking down the aisle. Sue appears behind her in the mirror wearing the same dress as Emma, claiming it to be revenge at Will for hiring Finn as his glee club replacement. As Sue helps herself to champagne, Emma exclaims how she can't get married before starting to sing Getting Married Today with Will and Mercedes. During the song, she dashes through the church and through the snow outside. She is last seen climbing into a taxi and weeping in the backseat. During the performance of Anything Could Happen, Will looks at photos of him and Emma taken around the school and their apartment.

Girls (and Boys) on Film

BaGoFCap1

In the opening scenes of the episode, Will and Emma are seen in tuxedos where they perform You're All The World To Me very similar to the Royal Wedding version. As the song ends Will wakes up in his apartment, having fallen asleep watching the film. Finn asks Sue, and later Artie, where the location of Emma is as he feels it is her fault she is missing. Sue is of no real help, yet Artie suggests he asks her parents. Rusty and Rose come to Emma's office and Finn and Artie (in ginger wigs) claim they are from the McKinley Ginger Protection Club and they quickly need Emma back as their chairman. Rusty gives them Emma's location and Finn tells Will to go and get her like in the movies. 

Emma is next seen lying on her bed in her sister's house as Will pulls up outside. As the music for In Your Eyes  starts, she gets up to the window to see Will and all the New Directions serenading her. As the song ends, she tells Will he's crazy, but agrees to come outside and speak to him. Outside the house, Will asks Emma why she left him at the altar and Emma says it's because he left for Washington and she felt he came back as a different person. She regretted leaving him at the altar, but didn't know what else to do at the time. She then asks Will where they go as a couple now and he says they should start again from scratch; he asks her to the movies on Friday night which she accepts. The scene ends with Emma grabbing his hand and Will kissing Emma's head.

At the end of the episode, Finn confesses to Will that he kissed Emma in Diva.

Wonder-ful

Will mentions he and Emma are engaged again.

All or Nothing

Vlcsnap-2013-05-10-15h21m04s216

Emma is first seen in the auditorium sitting with Will, Santana and Kurt, just before the regionals competition begins. She is wearing a white dress which Santana sarcastically points out as her 'lucky' colour. She is seen dancing along to the New Directions performance of I Love It and cheering when it is announced that the New Directions are regionals champions. 

As Will, the New Directions and the alumni are celebrating their victory in the choir room, Emma enters with a priest and walks over to Will. She announces that they planned to marry after regionals and, due to her not being able to handle a full-scale wedding, announces she wants to get marry in a place and with the people she loves. She next stands in the hallway excitedly before being called back into the choir room. With Sugar being the flower girl and the New Directions humming to 'Here Comes The Bride' she meets Will in the middle and the wedding party surround them. The vicar asks if they have vows and this time, Emma declares her love for Will before he does the same back. Will then hurries up the vicar so Emma can finally be his wife. They both say I Do before they passionately kiss in front of all the students. The season ends with everyone cheering and Will and Emma embracing in the center. 

The Quarterback

IMG 11102013 192459

Emma is first seen in the teachers' lounge telling Sue, Will and Coach Beiste that she had cleared her entire schedule to provide grief counseling, but no one came in for counseling. Sue replies with an insult, but Emma doesn't seem to care because it all still feels surreal to her. She agrees with Sue that she and the other teachers should help the people Finn loved move on, although it seems like an impossible task to her. Tina comes to Emma's office for counseling, and Emma is glad that she can help someone deal with the sadness. She is then shocked by Tina's speech about her clothes, so she sends her away with a few pamphlets. As Tina leaves her office, Will comes in for his appointment although he believes he doesn't need grief counseling. Emma confronts Will about not crying, which makes him get defensive at first, but then she explains that there will come a time when he'll need to let it all out, and that she'll be there for him because she loves him. Will leaves her office, leaving Emma looking concerned. 

When Emma comes home to her and Will's apartment, she finds Will crying uncontrollably holding Finn's jacket. She sits next to him and comforts him, beginning to cry herself as the episode ends. 

Trio

Wemma1

The episode opens with Will teaching his history class. Emma runs in telling Will that the time is now and they both quickly leave the class. They hurry together down the hallway and into the faculty bathroom. Becky walks past slightly after and opens the bathroom door after hearing some unusual noises, to find Will and Emma trying to conceive a baby. Becky rushes away screaming in horror. Will and Emma then explain themselves to a horrified Sue in her office and Emma admits that her a Will are trying to conceive a child, leaving Sue even more disgusted.

Emma comes into the teacher's lounge where Will and Shannon are having lunch. She quietly confides to Will that their attempt in the bathroom was unsuccessful and she isn't pregnant. Will suggests they go and see a doctor and Emma leaves looking worried. Beiste suggests that Will takes it slow with Emma as they both know how she could get if she worries something is wrong.

Emma is next seen coming home and finding Will redecorating the craft room into a nursery. Will comforts her about not being pregnant yet and the two sing Danny’s Song together. During the song they continue to paint the nursery together, watch movies and prepare to try and conceive again. Will is in the bedroom packing for the New Directions' trip to Los Angeles when Emma walks in quietly. She informs Will that she isn't going to LA because she is in fact pregnant. Will is overjoyed and the episode ends with the pair embracing with tears of happiness in their eyes. 

Opening Night

Although Emma doesn't appear in this episode, she is mentioned several times and her son, Daniel, is born off-screen.

The Hurt Locker, Part One

Emma's office is briefly shown being terrorised by Sue during Bitch, thus showing she still works as the school's guidance Counselor.

What the World Needs Now

Emma makes a brief appearance towards the end of the episode, during What the World Needs Now at her home. It should be noted that she was portrayed by a body double, and not Emma's regular actress, Jayma Mays.

Transitioning

Emma walks with Will and their baby in the park where they see Rachel and Blaine who were just egged. Later, she counsels Will, advising him to quit his job at Carmel, and do what makes him happy.

A Wedding

Emma is mentioned by Santana when Sue wore an identical dress in her wedding.

2009

Emma encounters Kurt outside her office and asks if he needs help, to which Kurt lies that he just made a wrong turn. When Kurt headed out, Emma notices that a pamphlet about suicide was apparently read by Kurt. This concerns her and calls Kurt's dad, Burt, to talk about it. Emma is uncomfortable seeing the grime on Burt's hand, hinting her OCD. Burt denies that a conversation is needed, as it is too early, but Emma gives Burt the pamphlet Kurt has read.

Later on, Emma approaches Figgins to prevent Will from leaving and support the glee club financially. Figgins says his hands are tied and cannot offer more money, but instead suggests Emma to show Will the performance of The Singsations during the 1993 Nationals.

Dreams Come True

When Will was promoted to principal, he says he is scared that he can't do it, which Emma says he shouldn't be. She says that she is proud of him because he did it all without losing his integrity. He says that he is the most talented man in Ohio and it is time to relax, have fun and fall in love. She says that if something is not right, they'll just fix it. They embrace and share a kiss.

In the flashforward, it is revealed they had 3 more kids, they along with an older Daniel, being ginger. In their home, she, Will, Sam, and Sue watch the Tony's and celebrate when Rachel wins the Best Actress award.

She is present during the rededication of the auditorium, and later joins the performance of I Lived. While walking on the stage during the song, she sees Will Schuester hugging Terri Schuester. She seems to be flabbergasted as they hug. After the song, they laugh, cheer and celebrate, as the episode and ultimately, the series, ends.

Personality[]

Emma could easily be seen as the ideal counselor. Sweet, insightful, selfless and empathetic, Emma is constantly doing what she can to offer good and helpful advice to not only the students, but also to those that she cares about (primarily Will). Unfortunately, despite the fact that Emma tries her best to be logical in her advice, she often lets her emotions take advantage of her actions. Her relationships with Will and Ken are obvious example, as Emma not only began dating, but also agreed to get engaged to Ken, although she did not even like him, all so as to try and spare herself the pain of pining for Will.

Because of Emma's natural kindness, this has also caused her to become extremely meek towards dominant people such as Sue and Terri, who often attempt to bully her. However, when push comes to shove, Emma will still try to stand up for herself, and will without a question stand-up for others (i.e. standing up for the glee kids at Sectionals). Emma rarely stands up for herself, but did when she finds out Will cheated on her, announcing in the teacher's lounge that Will was a "Slut." She has also stood up to Terri telling her that Will deserves much better than her and when Terri found Emma surprising Will at the apartment she asked her if there was a reason why she was there and Emma said that she wanted Terri gone when Will got home. She has also shown her bolder side to Figgins by yelling at him about canceling Glee even though they have worked hard all year. She too has shown a snarkier side by asking if Sue had been finally punched in the face when she had her tear ducts removed. In Season Two, she seems to have become slightly more independent, though she is still shy.

Emmap6

Although Emma seems pretty normal at first glance, like everyone else at the school she has her own sorts of oddities. Most obvious is her mysophobia, OCD and her large, round eyes. She tries her best to make sure everything around her is neat, hygienic and in order. She always brings her lunch to work, and often will clean her food as she eats it, as well as doing things like not mixing different colored grapes, wiping each grape carefully with a sanitizing wipe, and eating with plastic gloves on.

Emma also had, what some might consider, an unhealthy romantic interest in Will. Despite the fact he was married, she often was seen watching him intently, to the point where she would become easily distracted. As previously mentioned, she attempted to cancel out her feelings for Will, by dating a man who was completely wrong for her. This also caused her to become very inconsiderate towards Ken, who she informed that despite dating/engaged, they would not live together, kiss or have anything even remotely close to a normal relationship. She reacted maturely to Will telling her that he left his wife although her decision to resign showed her emotional weakness as she didn't want to work at the school any longer because of her feelings for Will and her guilt over Ken.

Emma can also be known to panic attacks when put under great amounts of stress. Finn witnesses this first hand when he sees Emma planning her wedding in Season Four.

Relationships[]

Main article: Emma-Will Relationship (Wemma)
Emma has been nursing a crush on Will for apparently some time now, which often causes her to become easily distracted. It is implied that Will himself shares an attraction towards Emma in Showmance, but has never acted on it out of respect and love for his wife Terri Schuester. However, Will often comes to Emma for advice on all his personal problems which only strengthens their mutual attraction. Much to Emma's disdain and Will's slight disappointment, Emma began dating and then became engaged to Will's friend Ken Tanaka. Despite the fact they are technically 'together' Emma refuses to do anything with Ken such as hugging, kissing, laughing or even living together, implying that she is still hoping for Will to be with her. Will's wife Terri, meanwhile is aware of the mutual attraction and once confronted Emma about it in Vitamin D. In a moment of uncharacteristic forcefulness, Emma told Terri that she was not good enough for Will. In the episode Sectionals, Ken dumps Emma and leaves her at their wedding. She tells Will when he arrives, along with the fact that she will be resigning as counselor at McKinley.
Willandemmakiss

Will and Emma's first kiss in "Sectionals"

He tells her he left his wife, and at the end of the episode, Will and Emma share a long-awaited kiss in the hallway, just before Emma is about to leave. In the Second half of the first season their relationship continues on rocky grounds, at first they seem to be making their way slowly to 'couple', but when Will tells Emma that they think they should put the relationship on pause at least until after his divorce they still seem fine, Emma even wanting to lose her virginity to him, but was unable to do it. It went from bad to worse where Sue tells Emma of all the other women that Will has been seeing even though he said he wasn't seeing anyone. Betrayed, Emma confronted him, but when Will came to apologize Emma did not accept it and now the relationship is seen as either over or in denial until further notice. In Journey, Emma tells Will that she is now seeing someone else. That broke Will's heart which can be shown as he is seen crying in his car, much like Emma used to do in the first half of the first season. Later, after Emma and Figgins' heated conversation, Will professes his love for her by saying "I love you Emma. There I said it, and you love me. Dentist or no, this thing isn't over between us." He then kisses her and leaves her staring after him in the hall, stunned. Since then there have been many 'moments' between the pair, but both her marriage and his relationship with Holly Holiday the substitute, have gotten in the way. Will is now helping her through her OCD.

Main article: Emma-Ken Relationship (Kemma)
Emmaandken

Emma and Ken eat lunch together.

Ken Tanaka has pursued Emma for a while, they eventually start dating. In Vitamin D, Ken proposes to her and she says yes as long as they don't move in together, don't see each other after school hours, and if Emma can keep her last name. In the episode Sectionals, Ken ends up dumping her because she moved their wedding back a few hours to take the glee club to Sectionals for Will, which made him realize that he could not do anything to prevent the fact that she loved Will and not him. After she broke his heart, she couldn't face him and almost left McKinley high.

Main article: Carl-Emma Relationship (Carma)
Carl-Emma
Carl was Emma's dentist whom she has been dating since she found out about Will's feelings behind her back. They apparently have been dating every night for a while now although they haven't had sex. Seeing as she did not reject Will's kiss after his love confession and her stunned look afterward, her feelings for Will are still there. However she continues to date Carl, and their relationship seems to have a positive effect on Emma, whose OCD becomes less prominent, allowing her to eat sandwiches with the crust on it and even go to a sticky, dirty movie theatre to see Rocky Horror Picture Show. Carl seems to really care about Emma, and uses his controlling nature to force her to overcome her own issues. However, Emma's feelings for Will remain constant, causing Carl to try and first ask Will to back off, and then angrily confronts him when he doesn't. In Special Education, over the weekend of Sectionals, she and Carl got married in Las Vegas. It was revealed that despite being married for four months, Emma is still a virgin. Carl believes that Emma still has feelings for Will and moves to a hotel until Emma can choose who her feelings lie with. In A Night of Neglect, Emma reveals that Carl has left her and wants an annulment, which was granted due to the fact they never consummated the relationship physically.

Main article: Finn-Emma Relationship (Femma)
Finn does not interact that much with Emma until Diva
Tumblr mhcmav3zs01qj5p41o11 r1 500
The first scene involving the two of them is in the teachers' lounge, with Emma complaining about the stress of organizing her and Will's wedding, which is next week. Finn tells Emma that he's struggling to prepare New Directions for Regionals and she suggests a Diva-Off. Finn takes her idea on board and invites her to be the celebrity guest judge. 

Finn and Emma are then present sitting together while watching Blaine perform Don't Stop Me Now

Finn is then seen telling Emma about his break up with Rachel and how heartbroken he still feels. Emma suggests  going back out there and finding a new girlfriend. Finn thanks Emma and says Will is so lucky. Emma stops Finn and asks her which centerpiece she should use for the wedding. Finn replies by saying she should use a white centerpiece because white is pure, like her. 

The two then introduce Santana and the Cardinals to the New Directions in the choir room as they perform Nutbush City Limits. They are also present in the courtyard as Tina performs Hung Up.

Near the end of the episode, Finn finds Emma in a panic. She tells him that she is convinced that Will didn't like her choice for the centerpiece. She tearfully says she can't get married again because the last time with Carl was over before it even began. As she begins uncontrollably knocking over things, Finn tries to calm her down and ends up kissing her, leaving Emma visibly shocked.

Appearances[]







Trivia[]

  • She is similar to Rachel Berry
  • There seems to be an inconsistency with the root of her obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In Showmance, she claims that her brother once pushed her into a run-off lagoon, which triggered her OCD. However, in Asian F, it's revealed that her OCD came from her parents constantly making her clean her glasses before drinking from them.
  • She has been engaged more than any other character on the series.
  • Emma mentions that she is 32 in A Night of Neglect but the episode takes place in the spring of 2011 and, given that she began her senior year in the fall of 1997 (as mentioned in Dance With Somebody), it is more likely that she was born in late 1979 and thus she would still only be 31.
