BELATED. I am so not keeping up atm. (Some of that is because I'm at the cottage, w/ very intermittent internet access. Some of it is because I'm, well, writing, and I get distracted.)
Emma was absolutely either the mastermind or playing along because it got her something else she was after. I tend toward the latter, because it gives the story a continuing arc after the end of the movie (and because I like to think she can come up with better and more subtle plots than Shaw's). So yes, the only thing that makes sense is if she was playing some sort of long game. I mean jesus, it was as if the writers hadn't even read the Wiki entry on Emma Frost. The reason she has the diamond power? SHE SURVIVED A WHOLE CITY FALLING DOWN AROUND HER.
