Emma’s ‘trying to get Will’s attention’
But I think we all know she’s really using it as an excuse to touch his abs.

Can I just say, as ridiculous as this show has become, Emma’s storyline in this episode was really important to me.
As empowering a message as “Born This Way” is, what happens when you’re born in a way that’s debilitating? That prevents you from living life to the fullest? Do you accept the way you were born, or do you work to live the life you actually want to live?
As someone with an anxiety disorder, I asked all the questions Emma asked in this episode. Namely, why do I have to put drugs in my body to fix the way I was made? Isn’t that just weakness or denial? Why can’t I just think my way out of this rather than taking medicine? There is such a stigma associated with mental disorders that a lot of us are afraid to ask for help.
The scene with Emma and her therapist was the most genuine, honest portrayal of anxiety/depression I’ve ever seen in mainstream media. I hope it helped people understand that disorders like OCD, anxiety, and depression should be treated like an illness, and that asking for help and taking medication doesn’t make you weak, it shows that you care about living the best life you can live.
I cried like a little girl during Emma’s therapy scene in “Born This Way.”
That was very meaningful for someone who suffers from mental disorders. Thanks for including us too, Glee.
The best.
Emma: There’s studies that show it helps with depression, elevates the mood. I have a pamphlet!
“Have you ever liked somebody so much you just want to lock yourself in you room, turn on sad music and cry?”
“No…”

“I’m not sure if you know this about me but I am a huge proponent of the arts in schools.”
Oh dear. OH DEAR.
Emma just being on the show improves it by about 20%.
Jane Lynch, left, in a very un-Sue Sylvester-like gesture, fixes John Stamos’ jacket collar before he shoots a scene with Jayma Mays.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING THAT IS GOING ON IN THIS SCENE.
