I understand what you're saying but the way I interpreted it was that bringing in the 'so called Internet bullying' exposes the fact that 'we' so quickly jump to victim blaming, as the lead detective did, rather than making that the 'reason' she was murdered. Katie's best friend highlighted this injustice and we see her walking into the distance at the end of ep2, unheard... again exposing the bias rather than leaning into it. So we sit in the discomfort of victims blaming for a while and then more is revealed (the sexual harassment and criminal distribution of child images), Jamie's preying on her, then her rejection of him and response online. So I think ep3 does unravel ththat narrative and hopefully leaves the people in the audience who did victim blame, having to confront their bias (hopefully).

I thought it was really clever and even though we don't get any real closure, that also imitates life and should lead us to keep questioning our biases and the swamp we live in.
