Alistair turned out to be even more of a monster than we could possibly imagine. In the finale, Joanna finally twigged: it wasn't herwho had delivered the fatal overdose to baby Noah – it was Alistair. He then had the audacity – the AUDACITY! – to pin it all on her, and watch her fall apart thinking she'd killed her baby. Alistair's lies finally ca...
Satisfyingly, Alistair got his just desserts in the end. After receiving that card about Noah, Joanna took her other half out of town for a long drive in the countryside as a cure for "cabin fever." On a winding, empty road, she confronted him about the medication mix-up – and demanded he tell her the truth. Once he'd finally admitted to his cruel ...
There were no witnesses to Alistair's death, and Joanna's testimony that she had become upset discussing her missing son on the day after his birthday – and taken her eyes off the road – was plausible. Despite evidence being given that there were no skid marks to indicate braking, none of the friends or family who spoke in court implicated Joanna f...
The search for Noah has been scaled back, but it's still ongoing – because (for understandable reasons) Joanna hasn't been too keen to tell the police what really happened.
Before Alistair and Joanna left her house in Australia to move back to Scotland, Elizabeth (Stella Gonet) cornered her son for a heart-to-heart. And without saying it out loud, she hinted at her suspicions that he could have had something to do with Noah's disappearance. Alistair gave a veiled acknowledgement that her suspicions were well-founded –...
After carrying out the grim task of disposing of Noah's body, Alistair spun Joanna a tale about burying him at the foot of a magnificent tree near the beach. It was a source of comfort to her, and she finally persuaded him to take her there so she could see the place where he had been laid to rest. Except, he wasn't there. Alistair had buried the b...
What do you do when you realise your "missing" dead baby is buried underneath a house in Australia? You buy that house and move halfway across the world, of course.
In the book, the mix-up begins when Joanna and Alistair are asked to empty out some liquid medicine from their hand luggage before going through security. There's a rush to sort it out, and ultimately Alistair administers the wrong medication to Noah. But the odd detail aside, this TV adaptation keeps closely to Helen Fitzgerald's original novel. T...
Aside from Joanna's odd little speech in court at the very end of the episode which definitely didn't make her look suspicious, the final episode of The Crywas pretty powerful. Here was a story about emotional abuse and coercive control in the toxic relationship between Alistair and Joanna – a relationship which shifted dramatically over time. Talk...
