“All I had to do was play it like Cassy slipped,” he said, adding that Cassy had “teased him” and his frustration at being unable to control her. “I wanted her to be part of me; part of my family. I gave her my grandmother’s ring, so precious. But, oh no, she doesn’t wear jewellery. She shamed me, she used me, she disrespected me and everything that I love.”
And so, when they had an argument up on the ridge, Ewan pushed Cassy to her death and let it look like an accident. What a nasty piece of work.
So, once Mia was sure of what had happened, she lured Ewan to the spot where Cassy died, under the pretence of laying a memorial for her. She confronts him, and he soon has her by the throat, but soon her plan (inspired by her drug addiction) comes into force. Yes, readers, she had drugged Ewan. As the drugging began to take hold, Mia got to tell her sister’s fiancé what she really thought of him, which we have to say was cathartic as hell.

She even explains to Ewan exactly how she got to him. Mia had taken the drugs (a fictional type named Duranyl) from Ewan’s wardrobe, as he had confiscated them from Mia to force her into opioid withdrawal.
“Seeping Duranyl in water increases its absorption rate,” she tells Ewan. “It’s how all the local kids are taking it. And it’s not a bad idea actually. It’s nice in a cup of tea. You see, my tolerance is sky-high, but you have none.”
Once he was incapacitated, Mia pushed Ewan off the ridge. Poetic justice. Libby did arrive just in time to see her do it, but we don’t think she’s going to report her… Libby knew what her half-brother was capable of.
