How everyone reacted to Leanna’s death
Leanna’s dad Liam Cavanagh struggled to deal with his anger after his daughter’s death, but Meena was having quite the opposite reaction to it. This is Because Meena is the one who kills Leanna. Throughout the episode, we saw the police investigating Leanna’s death to find out if her death was accidental or not. At the same time, Liam set to find some answers of his own. And as part of that, after bumping into Billy he began quizzing him about what happened to Leanna because he was the last person to see her. But Billy said that he didn’t know much, apart from the fact that Leanna was upset and was into drinking.
Meanwhile, the police revealed that they have concluded Leanna’s death to be an accident. They said that she may have slipped and fallen over the bridge since she had consumed a lot of alcohol and may have made her dizzy because of that. After this, the police returned all of Leanna’s belongings to Liam. He went through Leanna’s items that had been returned to him. And went through the emotions of losing his daughter.
Meanwhile, in the village, Leyla came across Meena and told her of the police’s verdict. And expressed that she doesn’t think that Leanna’s death was an accident. To this, Meena said that she do believe in it and walked away with a smile while stroking the ring that she stole from Leanna’s body.
