Karen sees this as opportunity to make a lot of money from a boss's son. After Karen was beaten by Kip, Emma is seen in front of the clinic, where Karen was. She was blaming herself, since she was the one that brought her there and it will be safer for her, than begging on the streets. And after 2 days of her promise, this happened. Emma met Luke, who got out of the clinic and since he saw she was sad, he tried to cheer her up. After which Emma understand why Brad was able to keep his humanity in the Five Points.

Later in the Saloon, when Gene with Kip, came to ask who did this to Karen, Emma is seen with a gun, angry at Kip. Soon after that the Madam, looked for Emma, since shed had a customer, but Emma wasn't is her room. She followed Kip, who was with Brad on a job, and after Kip killed the target in a dark alley, she shot him in the shoulder when he got out of the alley. She tells to Brad, that she will kill him herself, but then Brad takes out his gun and points it at her. Emma tells Brad that she though he was different and that he cared for peoples lives, but seeing he was the same as all other gangsters, she shoot at him, hitting his hair. Brad then returned fire, but aimed at her hand and made her drop her gun. Then he told her to get to Luke, who will take care of her wound and that Kip's life is not worth dirtying her hands and asked for 10 dollars, since that's his fee. Emma thanked him, and left, leaving the rest to Brad. She goes to Luke, and tells him that Brad asked her to go here. Luke ask her what is his brother up to, to which she replies that he is working. Few days later, Emma finds Luke and ask about Brad, but who was missing for three days.

On the next day, after Luke gave Emma's new address to Brad, he went to see Emma. She explained him that she couldn't stay anymore in that saloon and one of her clients suggested her this place, which is safe and not connected to the Grave Diggers. Seeing Brad sad, for not able to complete the job, she replies that she was feeling bad for making him take it, since he have need to protect someone. Still it made her happy that he accepted the job and thanked him.
