User blog comment:BradP27/Why RR was the Best Season Since the Original TDI--if not better/@comment-1427230-20151014170539/@comment-24839384-20151015050538

The Emma thing helped Noah grow as a character. It made him more caring, and that is why Noah said "You know that moment you wouldn't care if someone died? I didn't ... Until then." and when he said "I'm not getting soft or anything, Mickey was just so pathetic", it was to show that Noah can have a change of heart and he can be caring. He is still his sarcastic, cynical self, but seeing a new side of Noah added to his character and we got to see more of his character so I agree with the Emma plot. They don't have to include her in the next season he is in, he can mention her like Geoff mentioned Bridgette in this season.
