Nobody could get over the scene from season one when Paige literally almost drowned Emily during a swim meet. Eventually, the two ended up dating (because it’s super normal to date a girl who tried to murder you out of the spirit of competition), but Paige’s stubbornness was a source of contention for Emily and her friends.
