He rejected Daphne and her advances. As Exec producer Lizzy Weiss mentioned, Bay is NOT a rebound girl & Emmett was just as surprised as everyone else in that he developed feelings for this hearing girl -- as he was very anti-hearing earlier in the first few eps. His monologue (the IJWY Scene) had NOTHING to do with Daphne at all; however, we came to see that to Emmett, Bay was neither hearing nor deaf & it was her essence & character that he fell for. Falling for her was effortless. They're twin flames/shadow souls ... There is a connection beyond the hearing-deaf worlds. The perfect Bay was standing right in front of him & in an alternate universe where she could be deaf, he would still choose the girl standing before him. His words and sPoken words showed the depth of their relationship and commitment to one another. So in fact Emmett learned that what he thought he wanted all along (Daphne) was not now what he truly wanted. It's Bay ... That Bay, not deaf Bay or hearing Bay. This is why Bay was so confident when Daphne threatened her at the end.

I'm curious, did Sean actually say that Emmett is in love with Bay?

I really do believe emmett and bay are a great thing, I only worry about how daphne is going to continue to try and pursue emmett.

do you think he'll let daphne do this?

I mean, I get he's always cared about Daphne but that sorta makes me worried. Being with D would be the easy choice but still.

I'm worried the writers may go there......i hope not though.

becauses i really do love emmett and bay......
