I actually don't disagree in general with giving people a second chance, with obvious exceptions for atrocious crimes etc.
The problem I have in Clemmie's case is that she tried to lie her way out of it and showed no accountability. If people don't hold their hands up and take full responsibility for their actions, and fail to demonstrate any remorse, reflection or willingness to learn/grow, then they don't get the benefit of a second chance in my book. Clemmie has shown no empathy towards those she hurt and offended. It couldn't be more clear that she thinks she did nothing wrong and/or was the victim of the piece.
There's a world of difference IMO between someone who takes everything on board and works to repair their mistake/wrongdoing, compared to someone who lies low for a bit then breezes back in expecting to be adored.
