#but yeah the crashout after murdering her family's killer is well. expected but also he deserved it so.

As per Meredith's modern verse timeline, I've decided that, upon finding out the Stannard family killer was released after serving 30 years on 'good' behaviour, that eventually, Meredith ends up using the resources available to her as Kirkwall Penitentiary's Warden to track him down and murder him.

It is in fact, pre-meditated. Her plan involves tendering her resignation three days prior, then finding him at a bar and enticing him to come home with her under false pretenses. However, it ends up going a lot messier than she'd planned - both out of a revenge-filled rage and being high on a lot of cocaine - and in her panic, ends up ditching the weighted body in the river, and driving straight to the airport and leaving the U.K.

She ends up arriving at her wife, Amelia's ( @sanctamater ), stateside home in New York as they share dual US-UK citizenships, and out of precaution, they invest in a powerful lawyer to fight the eventual case. It ends up getting thrown out as there isn't enough evidence to convict (plus a firm fake alibi, thanks Amelia!).
