Just rewatching the summer finale tonight. Does anyone think that Emmett just found Daphne to be so cruel that after their exchange/kiss at the car wash, he subconsciously resented Daphne for not allowing him to be happy? I get the feeling after the kiss that it was almost like she wasn't even a choice for him because he couldn't or didn't want to be involved with someone who could be do cruel to him and so selfish, especially when Bay is very open, honest, and affectionate with him. There's really no comparison. And I get Thd whole "I waited & I didn't want to wait anymore" as I gave up on the idea of an us and I'm over you now.
And as a side note, Daphne acted so desperate in this episode that she came off as clinging to her 'security blanket' & I think Emmett saw that.
