Across eight episodes, All Her Fault takes on quite the quick-paced journey from Milo's (Duke McCloud) initial disappearance right through to when it becomes hauntingly apparent just who took him.
But why did she take him and why was she not asking for any ransom money? Thankfully, those questions weren't at the top of priorities in the penultimate episode as Marissa and Peter were reunited with Milo at long last. However, the drama didn't stop there as in the middle of the evening, Carrie herself appeared in their home wielding a gun at them, asking for her son.
But what happened and why did Carrie take Milo in the first place? Read on to find out more about what unfolded in the final episode of All Her Fault.
All Her Fault ending explained: Who was Carrie and why did she take Milo?
Carrie says she didn't mean to do it and urges someone to call an ambulance, with Peter urging an emotional Lia (Abby Elliott) to go outside and wait for help there. Brian (Daniel Monks) goes to soothe Milo but once he's left the room, Peter silently confirms that Colin is in fact dead.
Carrie explains that her real name is Josephine Murphy and immediately, Marissa knows who she is but is shocked by the admission, stating that Josephine must be dead. Carrie admits that she wishes she was but then goes on to say that she feels as though she "lost" six years ago. She urges Marissa to promise her, mother to mother, that she'll protect Milo from Peter.
He manages to turn the gun on a scared Carrie and shoots her dead. Peter immediately tries to reframe the story, telling Marissa that the gun just went off but Marissa knows he killed Carrie intentionally because he didn't want Carrie revealing something.
In the present, Peter tells Marissa that actually, their son did die in the accident. But flashing back to the night in question, after he called 911 for help, Peter hears a baby crying. He goes into the other crashed car and retrieves a newborn baby boy, cradling him as he hears sirens in the distance. He tells Marissa that he didn't plan it but reveals that he switched the babies, thinking that Carrie was dead in her car.
When the police arrive they confirm that the other two bodies they've found in their investigations have been that of Carrie's boyfriend and of her father. Peter explains the confusion he had about Carrie/Josephine and not recognising her mugshot initially. But Detective Alcaras (Michael Peña) suspects something is amiss, especially after Carrie allowed Lia to call an ambulance and for Brian to tend to Milo.
Peter then explains that he was actually the one to retrieve Milo but covered his eyes and left him at the police station so that it wouldn't implicate him being at the motel.
"My reasoning is that, in shock, in the chaos of the moment, in believing that Milo's biological mother is deceased, in the shock of his own newborn now dead, he believes that he can save his wife from the grief of losing a son – that he has kept a family intact. At least that's what he's told himself. If you can lean on that as an actor, then then you're doing this really selfless thing, even though everyone else in the world is like, ‘You don't get to play God’. That’s not how this works, Peter."
What happens to Peter?
When he takes his son to the doctor, Detective Alcaras then learns of synaesthesia, a neurological condition that can see those affected experience a joining of the senses. It triggers a memory of Milo and he then calls up one of Carrie's former teachers who confirms his suspicions – that it seemed like she had it also.
He goes to retrieve his EpiPen from his jacket and uses it to find that actually, it's expired. Marissa is in charge of Peter's medication and states that she wouldn't have gotten them mixed up. Marissa tells Lia to call 911 and get the emergency kit from the car but when she returns, she tells them that it's not there. The ambulance is 8 minutes away and nobody in the growing crowd has an EpiPen.
On his character dying at the end of the series, Lacy told RadioTimes.com of his reaction: "Well, I was bummed because I like Peter. I always have more affinity for these unpalatable people than maybe an audience does or other characters do. But also, [it] feels inevitable.
"You're like, ‘There's no way he continues on in the world.’ This has to end in one place or another and is really fulfilling, as a story is really fulfilling. Plus, as an actor, you get to have a death scene and that's fun. It’s fun, that's why I love doing this since I was a kid, just play pretend through all these wild things, just play pretend.”
What happens to Marissa?
We see that in fact, Marissa had read the labels and Lia had seen her doing so. But when she's pressed for an answer by the police, Lia remembers the awful way in which Peter spoke to her at the wake and lies for Marissa.
Although he has cracked the case, he tells Marissa that it's actually officially closed now. Even though it shouldn't sit right with him, he admits he feels fine and leaves.
We then see Marissa and Milo go bounding down the road to see Jenny and her son, enjoying an evening together smiling and sipping wine.
