Wood, who plays Max Branning, left some viewers frantically rewinding their TVs and checking the subtitles to see if he had fluffed his lines during the shows live ending.
The #EELive Twitter feed went into a frenzy after the show as confusion reigned, with many viewers left asking, "Did he just say, 'You killed Lucy,' or 'Who killed Lucy'?"

Others thought Wood had intentionally tried to "break the internet" Kim Kardashian-style.
