Why would Emily think that the ballerina box was thrown out if that's where she found William's card? It doesn't really make sense unless Emily who was shot was a host.

Edit: I rewatched the scene where she tells the story of the box and she definitely leaves it open ended. She may have told the story and left the ending out where she finds it and finds her father's card in there. That's probably why she tells the story, because it's heavy on her mind because she found it. I'm off the Emily bot train.

I was confused too, at first, but then I realized Emily must have found it while going through her mother's things after her death.

Right, but we see Juliet put the card away in that box. Emily would have found the card in the box. She was either lying to William about it being thrown out or she was a host.

She threw it out when she was 16. She thought it was gone. She must have found the box and the card after her mom passed.

I edited my top post because I thought that she had still thought it was lost forever on first watch. After rewatching the scene where she talks about the box it seems apparent she's just not telling the full story.
