"Lauren" Question

[ffaddict89.livejournal.com]

I just finished watching "Lauren" - I know lol but I wasn't able to watch it yesterday and my DVR only "partially" recorded it *rolls eyes*.

Since this may contain spoilers for this episode and possibly a past episode from season....2 or 3 maybe, please look under the cut for my question.

I considered looking through the post that was focused on this episode, but there are 631 comments lol and I'm not sure I have that kind of patients.


In "Lauren" they mention numerous times the fact that the only family Emily had was the team. Then, at Emily's funeral, the only people who were the main focus was the team and you really couldn't tell who anyone else was.

So, my question is what's up with Emily's mom? I know we met her in that episode about the Russian family. Even if Emily isn't really dead, wouldn't it be kind of weird if her mom wasn't at the "funeral"? Did something happen to her mom that I'm forgetting or didn't know about?

Just wondering if anyone noticed this and could tell me if I'm just being stupid and forgetting something.

My biggest question wasn't whether or not her mom was there, although in my mind Emily has always kind of seemed like she raised herself because her mom always put her job before anything else, and I think she may have made a few mentions to this effect throughout the series. That's always been my impression at least.

My biggest question was where was the American flag on her coffin? We've seen every cop on this show, who was killed, have an American flag covering their coffin. I just found that really strange.
