Emma's behavior in this episode is a controversial topic among the fandom. She widely gets hate for "not minding her business and spreading the rumor about Liberty and Armstrong", but in my opinion the reality was more nuanced than that. Emma, who was groomed and nearly assaulted by an internet predator, was just looking out for Liberty and this is one of the few episodes where she actually behaved like a friend towards her. Terri was the one who spread the rumor and caused it to blow out of proportion. However this episode made it clear that Liberty was a victim of bullying by other students and it never really got addressed. I also don't like how it's established in this episode that she has a disability that never gets focused on after this incident. Her dyscalculia only serves as a plot device in Emma's story instead of her own, which really did a disservice towards black disability representation. This unfortunately will not be the last time that a serious storyline involving Liberty is told from the POV of other characters instead of her own.
