'Dirty John': John spins another web of lies in the next episode 'Shrapnel'

We know John Meehan lied about a lot of things - but what else is he hiding? 'Shrapnel' will definitely give us some answers

Debra Newell knows the truth and she wants answers. The proverb, once a liar always a liar, was probably inspired by John Meehan, who attempts to prove it once again in the next episode of Bravo's 'Dirty John'.

In the episode termed 'Shrapnel', John tries to cover up his tracks - and unfortuantely, he succeeds. In the last episode, 'Remember It Was Me', the Bravo show went deeper in John Meehan's life than ever before. This time, Debra finally sees John for who he really is.

While she finds out about his criminal past, dotted with violence and gruesome encounters, the audience too gets a load about his past. The episode utilizes a lot of flashbacks to let us know how he trapped his last wife, Toniya, and manipulated his way into working as a nurse. It also connected to the first episode of the series where we saw Meehan potentially stealing drugs from a patient, making us realize that he had jumped onto Debra right after he got kicked out of the hospital. It left off with John getting admitted to the hospital and Debra leaving him alone to flee with her kids.
