Warning: This article discusses the conclusion of "All Her Fault." If you haven't watched the final episode yet, proceed with caution!

After three weeks of suspenseful storytelling, the last episode of "All Her Fault" airs on July 15. Created by Megan Gallagher and adapted from Andrea Mara's novel, the series follows Marissa Irvine (played by Sarah Snook), a mother whose life is turned upside down when her five-year-old son mysteriously disappears after a playdate.

Desperate to find her child and uncover the truth behind his disappearance, Marissa embarks on a harrowing journey. This evening, audiences will finally discover the shocking revelations that the series has been building up to.

What Happens in the Finale?

In the climactic final episode, Carrie Finch (portrayed by Sophia Lillis), the nanny hired by Jenny Kamiski (Dakota Fanning), confronts Marissa with a weapon. Unbeknownst to Marissa, Carrie is actually Joséphine Murphy, and she forces Marissa to listen to a recording detailing a ransom exchange and the death of Rob Murphy.

As tensions escalate, Colin Dobbs, Marissa's best friend and business partner, tries to disarm Joséphine, resulting in a fatal shot that kills him. In the ensuing chaos, Peter seizes another weapon and kills Joséphine, claiming self-defense when the police arrive.

In a shocking twist, Peter confesses to Marissa that Milo is not their biological son. Five years prior, after the birth of Milo, Peter and Marissa were involved in a serious car accident with a young mother named Josie (the true identity of Carrie), who was also traveling with her baby. Peter, the only survivor, swapped their deceased child with Josie’s living baby. Years later, Joséphine discovered this truth and assumed the identity of Carrie Finch, getting hired as a nanny to orchestrate Milo's kidnapping.

Peter's confession continues to unravel as he admits to killing Rob Murphy and leaving Milo at the police station. Realizing Peter's true nature, Marissa understands that reporting him could jeopardize her custody of Milo, prompting her to take drastic action.

During Colin's funeral, Marissa shares a kiss with Peter, but he remains unaware that she has consumed food containing soy, to which he is highly allergic. When he realizes this, he rushes to retrieve his Epipen, only to find it expired for three years. A flashback reveals that Marissa had sabotaged his chance for survival. Meanwhile, Inspector Jim Alcaras pieces together the events from the baby swap to Peter's death but decides to close the case.

Insights from the Series Creator

In an interview with the Times, Sarah Snook discussed Alcaras's decision not to charge Marissa for her husband's murder. "It's a moment of complicity," she noted. "Alcaras essentially tells her, 'I see you, I see what you've done, and I'm willing to overlook your crimes for the sake of the horror that preceded it. It's better for Milo to have a stable life with a parent, and you are the closest thing he has to one.'"

Megan Gallagher, the creator of "All Her Fault," had always envisioned that the moral compass of the series would be defined by Alcaras, a character not present in the original novel. "For a character like him, who sees himself as a good person, what he does is his first real step into the gray area," Gallagher explained. "Good and evil, and the law, don't always align. I’m not suggesting everyone should break the law, but life often presents complexities that the legal system fails to address," she concluded.
