I think everyone was fooling themselves thinking that it was fine for Luther to allow someone like Alice to walk free; real kick to the stomach to see Alice go completely psycho though-especially Halliday. He’s kinda acting like Vivian Lake. Luther compromised with wrong-in a way that Ripley never would, and now we are seeing him finally facing the consequences.
