So Emily is told that Cassidy is a vampire- can you deal with that? \
Um okay.
Now feed him these animals...
Um okay.
Then calling up the mayor for help (and I saw it coming btw, very cheap shock) and then serving him up to Cassidy?
That was some serious pathetic writing. First off, it was predictable. Secondly; it was completely out of character. There was no indication that she had any homicidal tendencies , let alone to the mayor character. Yeah she had no interest in him romantically, yes she pitied him, but there was zero, and I mean ZERO build-up for her to do this.
There was zero build-up for her to murder a person so brutally. She didn't like Cassidy to begin with, and even if you like Cassidy, that doesn't mean you wouldn't just serve up someone to him just like that. Especially a VAMPIRE- a creature which shouldn't exist BTW but it didn't took long for her to just up and believe that...
Some people online compared her actions to Breaking bad... What? Breaking bad is solid writing, a shock is something that should come organically. It was right in your face, hints were there, and then suddenly the truth is out. Walter White had been losing his humanity slowly, before he completely lost it. It wasn't out of character, we understood it.
It was horrendous writing, a cheap shock. Fan of the comic or not, can we at least agree to that?
It really annoys me that people just accept this. I understand liking this show but come on people.
Nonsense. I think you probably weren't paying attention to Emily's arc throughout the season.
Emily doesn't like Cassidy initially because she doesn't trust him and thinks he's taking advantage of Jesse.
Emily doesn't like Miles because she rightly thinks Miles is a "nice guy" creep. On top of which he made clear that:
A) He was siding with Odin and going to take actions guaranteed to hurt Jesse.
--AND--
B) Things were going to change between she and Miles; i.e. they were going to become a couple now, whether she liked it or not.
Emily was trapped. Her entire arc from the episode on showed that, and the scene from PSYCHO underscored this perfectly as well as hinted at her way out. It also indicates how quickly she'd come to that conclusion.
As for Emily accepting that Cassidy was a vampire very quickly, it's a fantasy show with a heightened reality. So rather than weeks of Cassidy having to prove it to her, she walks in on him tearing into an animal in the corner and KNOWS it's true --keeping in mind she had seen his strange behavior before at the church and what Tulip told her-- and sees a way to solve both their problems.
Oh, and Tulip also accepted Cassidy as being a vampire with relative ease. The only one who didn't was Jesse.

Yes, thank you!

And so did the sheriff, who fairly easily figured it out on his own.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

Well Tulip seen him on the verge of death one minute and then perfectly fine the next (after drinking blood) if that won't get you to believe in vampires nothing probably will.
Also if so many people don't like the show why do they keep watching and commenting about it?
