Ella killed her best friend when she was 11 and went to prison. The whole village have turned on her. Apart from Mandy and Cain. Cain, bless him, was really lovely to Ella. Her story was super sad of abusive childhood and her best friend's family half adopting her and loving her. When best friend dumped her due to peer pressure (as Ella was the smelly poor girl) Ella flipped as she'd had a glimpse of love and a proper family.
The rest of them are hypocrites as they are all liars, murderers and cheats.
