Actually, I disagree. First off, Ingrid clearly made references to Emma's "Super Power". She knew about it. and the only known interactions between Emma and Ingrid are when she was in the Foster Home, and the brief interaction in the Ice Cream shop from the S1 "Flashback".

I'll have to go back to Breaking Glass, but I think the reason Emma's "Super Power" did not go off is that most of what Lily said was true. and I think both girls were in such need of acceptance and friendship that they were willing to overlook little details. The one statement that sent Emma over the line was the reveal that Lily DID have a family (even if she didn't like them). Emma so wanted a family that she rejected anyone that had a family. She thought that finding a family was her happy ending.
