Because Emison was not supposed to be a love story. Every liar were supposed to have a backstory with Alison that would make the viewer hate her for what she did to them. Hanna and her weight, Aria with her dad's affair, Spencer with not letting herself being manipulated by Alison and Emily with her sexuality. All the flashbacks you guys confuse as "epic love" were there to show us how Ali was playing with Emily's feelings so in the end when she eventually broke her heart we would feel simpathy for Em. Alison kissing Emily in 5x05 (I guess) was showing us Ali manipulating Emily (again) because she noticed that Emily was drifting away from her. Emison was never a love story. You confused it with one. But general viewer (that suprise, it's what makes most of PLL viewers not fandom) are not supposed to root for Emison. They are supposed to see how toxic Ali is for Emily and how being with Alison doesn't let think Emily correctly, to the point of being just Ali's puppy. The last scene of last week's episode was there to makes us cheer because finally Emily was using her brain again and she was the last of the liars that was letting herself being manipulated by Alison. Every other liar had stopped caring about Alison episodes ago and Emily was the last one to do so. And we as general audience (I count myself as general audience because I'm not in the PLL fandom) were supposed to be happy because of that. Which believe us, we are.
