Presumably, Renton is of the opinion that… well, that if she killed her ex, like she initially planned, she’d have saved another woman’s life. Which is why she decides to look the other way when it comes to Laura’s own murderous antics: instead of sending the teacher to jail, Renton lets Andrew’s accomplice Oliver Graham (Sam Spruell) take the fall instead. Dark, huh?

That all makes sense. Kind of, anyway. What doesn’t make sense, though, is the fact that Laura turned so quickly on her boyfriend Ian (Kieran Bew) back in episode two. You know, when police found his fingerprints on the late Andrew’s phone, and Laura found out and emotionally accused him of a) murder and b) framing her for murderr?

Yeah. At the time, this writer said that this conversation 100% proved Laura didn’t do it. “Because, if she had killed Andrew, then surely she wouldn’t have turned on Ian so quickly? Surely?” our naive episode recap reads. “Unless, y’know, she’s a cold-blooded psychopath and knows exactly what she needs to do to paint herself as innocent.”

So… she’s a cold-blooded psychopath, we guess. That’s why she happily went on a date with Ian after her name was cleared, that’s why she told him nothing about her fatal encounter with Andrew, and that’s why she told him, with a cheeky little smile, that she’s going to live her life “like none of this ever happened”.

Is it any wonder, then, that so many Liar viewers are fuming?
