But the truth behind Milo's disappearance proved far more twisted than a simple kidnapping. By the finale, family secrets dating back years were dragged into the light, multiple people were dead, and the very foundation of the Irvine family had crumbled. Here's everything you need to know about how All Her Fault ended — and what those final moments really mean.
Milo's kidnapping sets the entire series in motion. When Marissa arrives to collect him from the home of Jenny (Dakota Fanning), she discovers that Jenny never arranged any playdate— and that her son has vanished.
Milo is eventually rescued when his father Peter (Jake Lacy) figures out where the kidnappers are hiding. He confronts them at a motel with the bag of ransom money. While Rob is counting the cash and distracted, Peter kills him with a lamp. Peter then finds Milo hidden in a closet, stashes him in a car trunk, and leaves him at the police station, making it look like the kidnappers returned the boy themselves.
Why Did Carrie Take Milo?
The motive behind Milo's kidnapping is the series' biggest twist. Carrie isn't Carrie Finch at all — her real name is Josephine "Josie" Murphy. Six years before the events of the show, she was involved in a devastating car crash with Peter and Marissa that killed her newborn baby. Or so everyone believed.
The truth is, it wasn't Josie's baby who died in that accident — it was Marissa and Peter's. According to Josie, Peter switched the babies at the crash scene and took her child. The boy we know as Milo is actually her biological son.
Jake Lacy explained his character's mindset to the The Hollywood Reporter: "I think he believes wholeheartedly he was in shock and that he could prevent Marissa from having to grieve the loss of a child, their child, by making this swap, that it's a weight he would carry privately so she didn't have to."
Beyond the baby swap, the series reveals that Peter has been covering up dark secrets for decades. He's responsible for multiple deaths—not just the two people he killed during Milo's kidnapping—and viewers also learn he caused the accident that left his brother Brian (Daniel Monks) disabled. Peter tripped Brian and then let his sister Lia (Abby Elliott) take the blame.
"Peter really believes his lies, there's a lot of justification and he believes it wholesale," Lacy said in an interview withEntertainment Weekly. "He has no shame. He's like, 'I did the right thing. If you disagree with me, it's not even a matter of perspective. You're incorrect. I've done the right thing here.'"
How Does Peter Die?
But Marissa doesn't let Peter off the hook either. At Colin's funeral service, Peter goes into anaphylactic shock. Marissa had kissed him after eating something with soy in it, and he’s deathly allergic. Peter frantically searches for his EpiPen, but it's expired. The emergency medical kit normally kept in their car is also mysteriously missing. By the time help arrives, it's too late—Peter dies.

In one of the final scenes, Alcaras meets with Marissa and reveals that he knows the truth about everything. But then he tells her he's closing the case. Alcaras seems to understand that exposing all of the facts would only cause more pain — particularly for Milo, an innocent child caught in circumstances beyond his control.
How Does 'All Her Fault' End?
Whether Marissa can truly live with what she's done remains an open question.
Episode 5 was particularly hard to write, she said, because "at that point we had deviated entirely from the book and this was material that wasn't in the book." Gallagher continued, "So, it's nerve-wracking for that reason. It's also nerve-wracking because, as I mentioned, it's basically a chamber play... I didn't have the safety of the book."
Will There Be a Season 2 of 'All Her Fault'?
When asked about the possibility of continuing the story, Gallagher told Collider she'd be open to it. "Wouldn't that be nice? I would be up for that," she said. Whether a potential second season would continue following Marissa and Milo or take an anthology approach featuring new characters is still unknown. Gallagher added that, for now, “we're excited for everybody to dive into season one."
