Narrative:
At the time of the event I was conducting ojti with my developmental. Aircraft Y was departing and advised about 4;000 ft into the departure roll he was aborting. The developmental asked the pilot to exit the runway at A10; the high speed exit. The pilot replied he had blown a tire and would not be able to exit the runway. At that time aircraft X was on about a 2 mile final; I stepped in and instructed the C208 to go around right side. I coordinated with the arrival sector that the right runway was closed and that I would sequence aircraft X (number 3) behind an air carrier 10 miles to the north. I issued the traffic to follow to aircraft X and; after he reported it in sight; instructed him to follow the traffic with a wake turbulence caution. Given everything with the aircraft emergency and taking control from my developmental I never instructed the pilot of aircraft X to maintain VFR. Maintaining a better situational awareness would have made it easier from instructing to working.
