Why didn’t Emily console Paige after the shooting?

Marlene King: Paige knows these girls are four best friends and the show is really about the friendship and their unconditional bond. So, Paige made the sacrifice in that moment. She saw that Emily and Hanna really needed each other, so her doing the body block and getting the police’s attention was her way of saying, “I get it, I understand,” And Spencer’s look in subtext was, “We’re so sorry.”

Everybody has their fair share. Ok, but we get through it because we have each other!
