This is down to Effy's selfishness because she didn't want to cause inconveniencing drama.

She got sent to prison at the end because it shows that her selfishness has helped nobody, not even herself. Her smile in the car on the way to prison reflects her realisation that she has been selfish.

I think it worked well because it summed up Effy as a character. Yes, Naomi is almost dead (she wasn't necessarily killed off) but it helped portray the type of person Effy is. She wasn't there at all for Naomi because all she had was money in her eyes. Which is showed when she buys the penthouse apartment.

I really enjoyed Effy's story and look forward to both Cassie's and Cook's.

That's a fair summary I suppose although Naomi didn't want to tell Emily and unless I missed something she didn't want Effy to tell her either?

Also I don't think Naomily stans wanted one of them to die I wouldn't call myself a stan but Emily is my favourite Skins character and their relationship was my favourite too and in no way did I ever (even back in S3 and 4) want one of them to have this ending, it's the worst case scenario. I wanted a happy ending.
