She is still not suspected for the murders she committed and masks her psychopathy with the façade of a normal 15-year-old whose life consists of school, friends, and dance.
During breakfast, Emma mentions dance team captain elections are coming up soon, and she expects to beat out her friend Steph for the spot.
At dance practice, Steph is praised by their coach while Emma is told she needs to work more on the routine.
By the time she arrives home from school, he's arranged for her to go to St. Crispin's her junior and senior year.
Steph invites Kat to the dance team's slumber party at her house the following night.
Dr. March's advice is that she solve the problem she created for herself, so Emma makes amends with Robert and pretends to agree to go to St. Crispin's.
However, when she leaves for Steph's sleepover that night, Emma makes a car to fall on Robert resulting in breaking his legs and whistles as she exits.
The night before dance team captain elections, Emma sets out to kidnap Steph's dog.
One week later, Robert comes home in a wheelchair and with an in-home aide nurse, Cora, to take care of him.
The next day, Rachel sends Angela the Ring camera footage of the person who abducted Steph's dog.
That weekend, Cora is helping Robert get situated outside for some fresh air when she hears a crash.
He hurts himself, and when Cora comes to wheel him away, Emma whistles making Robert remember the night of the accident.
Later that night, Emma finds the research Angela was doing on her and takes an online test which tells her she is a psychopath and she is satisfied.
She meets up with an old Grossman family friend, Brian, to ask about what happened the night he shot her brother David all those years ago.
At the same time, Robert arrives in Cade's room and discovers his son is not there; it was only a recording playing from Emma's phone.
Angela runs into the burning house to rescue Robert, but the couple dies from smoke inhalation.
Emma gets Cade out of Angela's car and puts on a "special and perfect" performance for the firefighters when they arrive on scene.
The final scene shows Emma speaking with a social worker who will be placing her in foster care.
