New Guy (not the mayor) how about this idea see if it fits. Your second love (not the first because I don't think you get over the first). Unless you married your second love do you have the emotion of love after the break up or just a memory of the person?
My first love, (puppy love) was before I had the nerve to even speak to a girl. I do remember her name and the way my heartbeat increased and my breathing changed when I saw her. There were more girls and as I made it through adolescence my courage grew and I started dating. Some I would date steady for a while until one of us moved on to another. Some I felt serious about and I remember how it hurt to be "dumped." I didn't marry my second, third, ... love but eventually I met the right girl and after 38 year of marriage I still remember how scared I was when I first asked her out in front of the other people near her desk. She turned a bit red and said yes. I remember the event and the emotions. They are intertwined.
I believe the intensity of the emotions enhance the memory of the event. That is why I cannot buy into the "Eve has the memories, but not the emotions" line. To survive I need to let the bad past memories stay there (past). I don't dwell on who wronged me. The memories remain, but I try to learn from them and strive to make the present good for myself and those around me.
If Eve has memories of Nick is he the guy she "wanted to marry some day" or the guy she almost murdered? How can she possibly have an emotionless remembrance of Nick? You can bet Nick's memories of her are full of intense emotion. So next up is 5.07, Eve of Destruction. Per Christianpost.com, David Greenwalt has "teased that Eve will have a big scene with Nick (David Giuntoli). According to Greenwalt, Nick will then realize that Eve is completely different from Juliette, and fans can't wait to see the confrontation between the two in the next episode."

[/quote]This may seen odd but in a way you make my point. How emotional do you still feel about 2 and 3, are they emotional or just memory? Maybe it will be the old saying "let sleeping dogs lie" so maybe emotional is the wrong way to think of this.
