How did Emily get eliminated on Outlast season 2?

Emily was part of Team Bravo with Drew, Drake, and Sammy. Their team was later joined by Bre after her team Charlie was disbanded. Emily formed a good friendly bond with her teammates.

Being the brains of the group and wanting to help her team, Emily decided to explore the island. The problem was that she had to cross a river in between. Her team helped her build a raft out of the essentials crate that was dropped in Outlast season 2 episode 6.

Emily took the raft to the island and grabbed some apples and a bush of shrimp traps. She hopped back onto the raft and tried to make her way back to the camp before the moonlight.

The water current, however, was not in her favor and she drifted away from her path. She had no choice but to ask for help from Netflix's Outast crew and eliminate herself.
