We know that Murtagh is using his series as a vehicle for justice (“I was inspired to do this just by a sense of outrage,” he says), so it seems safe to assume he will want to touch upon the fact that evidence exists that Irish courts routinely sent women convicted of petty crimes to the laundries, and that the police were often tasked with returning escaped workers.

Throw in the fact that Massey seems hellbent on derailing Akande’s investigation, and you have a recipe for… well, for a potential murderer, we guess.

3) One of the other convent survivors framed Lorna

This is a popular theory floating around the internet, and it makes a lot of sense; after all, there is little love lost between Lorna and her fellow convent survivors. They each have a motive of their own for murder, too, and they will have been well aware of her sleepwalking habits, which means she’d have been the ideal fall girl for their crimes. And Amy Kane (Hilda Fay) has already been interviewed by the police.

All this being said, we really hope that Murtagh doesn’t go down this route. The real-life survivors of the Magdalene Laundries have been through more than enough to end up being labelled the villains of a series that is ostensibly seeking justice on their behalf.

On this same note: some have jabbed the finger at James Coyle (Dermot Crowley), the co-founder of the group who is trying to get the state to acknowledge what happened to Lorna and her fellow survivors. Again, though, this feels like an odd direction for the show to take. A twist, certainly, but an unpleasant one, when there are so many other real-life villains in the mix.

4) Niamh is the real killer

Wait, what?

That’s right; fans of the show are suspicious of Lorna’s BFF Niamh (Philippa Dunne), largely because she’s campaigning for justice on behalf of the women impacted by the laundries. They feel she has access to all of them, has been meddling just a little too much in their affairs, and has taken things too far.

“She’s not a survivor herself, but she is carrying the baton for her mother who is deceased,” explains Dunne. “Her mother was a survivor who never lived to see justice or recognition for what happened, so she was very much campaigning for her mother’s memory.”

We get it; in many ways, Niamh has motive and means to murder – but she’s also heavily pregnant and a seemingly grounded, focused individual who has the best interests of the survivors at heart. Sure, she might want to pin a murder on someone else so she doesn’t have to give up her own baby (as one viewer pointed out), but still. She loves Lorna. She wants the best for her. Would she really stoop so low?
