I did think Phil was inserted clumsily as a suspect regarding Emma's mother's death.
Well actually Phil talked himself into being a suspect unnecessarily and then there was a DNA match. It was like is this the best the writer can do.
So no surprise that Emma and Daniel's relationship hits the rocks.
Not helped that Professor Gordon is unhappy that Emma is having a relationship with Daniel.
A suspect that her forensic lab has been investigating. Emma has sought not to mention Daniel to her.
Emma really does behave like she is all over the place. I can understand why she was spooked by Phil.
At times she vacillates from being immature to unprofessional.
