Well, I'm not a "shipper", but I thought that was very uncharacteristic of her. An idea I had was that Emily is really tired of both A's antics and have to deal with her  feelings for Ali. Emily acted out in that way, because I think she is looking for closure for both A and Ali. I mean if Emily decides that Ali is A, she gets some sort of closure and she can also convince herself that she never can be with Ali if Ali is A. So for Emily it's probably easier to pretend that Ali is A even though she could have doubts about it, because in reality she doesn't know what to believe. I think Emily wants to believe that Ali is innocent and at the same times there are evidence that says the opposite and the other girls being sure that Ali is A. The biggest difference compared to before, is that Emily doesn't trust Ali anymore and therefore she is really conflicted and doesn't really know how to act or what to believe. Emily have always felt like she really knew Ali and now her perception of Ali is tested and changing. Emily is in a difficult position,  because she have sometimes been blind and a bit biased before when it comes to Ali. But she chose the wrong way to deal with the problem, the right way would have been to try to talk and listen to Ali instead of jumping on the bandwagon of hating Ali. The problem was that Emily doesn't trust Ali anymore and whatever Ali would have said to Emily, she wouldn't have necessarily believed Ali.
