I agree with you here. However, you also have to wonder why people (perhaps even Emma and the public) present her as a home-wrecking, maneating, *****. It's an interesting double standard and reeks of hypocrisy. She never hooked up with Daley, the most they did was flirt a little bit. Big ******ing deal. He's the one that's in a relationship, not Hazel. And yes, I know we heard multiple stories from him about that status of that relationship, but that's his business. Then the public, who obviously find this so offensive, vote them into the safehouse together. Makes sense (sarcasm). When Emma interviews Daley after, she's sympathetic. When she interviews Hazel, she keeps pressing her on the topic. It's all so odd.
