Key Takeaways

- Joss handled the situation like a true agent.
- Will Emma and Joss ever be friends?
Joss and Emma Butt Heads Again
The episode of the hit ABC soap put a new spin on Emma (Braedyn Bruner) and Joss’ (Eden McCoy) highly anticipated confrontation. It was only a matter of time before Emma discovered that Joss was a WSB agent, and GH fans knew it wouldn’t go well.
However, instead of an explosive fight, the audience watched as Emma challenged Joss over her decision to join the bureau, especially in light of what happened with Anna (Finola Hughes).
In fact, Ann was a driving force for Emma in the conversation, but Joss did one thing that Emma didn’t have a clue about. Joss instantly went into secret mode in a way that only the fans could clock.
The secrecy stems from being part of a business that forces people to build their lives on lies. It’s not only that Emma can’t understand that because she’s not an agent, but also because she doesn’t have lying down the way Joss does.
While it’s understandable that Emma’s arguing with Joss came from a place of seeing what being a WSB agent did to her grandmother and maybe even a bit of concern for Joss, Emma doesn’t have all the pieces of the puzzle. Emma was fighting without vital information, making it unfair to her or Joss.
Where Do Joss and Emma Go From Here?
There’s no question that Emma (Braedyn Bruner) and Joss (Eden McCoy) have always had a rivalry friendship. Even when they were kids, there was constant jealousy and friction between Joss and Emma.
However, Joss, being an agent, has added a whole new obstacle to their being real friends, as they both are with Trina (Tabyana Ali). Emma will never trust someone in the WSB because of what the secrecy surrounding it has done to her family.
The other fact is that Joss isn’t the same person she was when she joined the bureau. In fact, as her friends are dealing with college and other young adult life things, Joss has moved past that phase. It was evident as Joss watched Emma, Trina, and Gio (Giovanni Mazza) together that she felt like the odd man out.
Joss and Emma may be able to maintain a civil acquaintance relationship, but they will never be friends like Joss and Trina or Emma and Trina. That doesn’t mean someone, down the road, things could change for Emma and Joss. Anything is possible in Port Charles.
For now, the rivalry between Joss and Emma will likely continue, even as they try to keep the peace for those they commonly care about.
