Across the six episodes of Little Disasters, we've followed along as Jess's (Diane Kruger) life has come undone at the seams, propelling her into the line of suspicion as her daughter Betsy was not only found to have an injury – but a serious skull fracture.
Now on trial for abduction and child cruelty, the central mystery remains – how did Betsy get injured? Going into the finale of the series, we know that Jess left her son Frankie alone at home with Betsy for a short period of time to get some medicine. But who came to the door when Jess wasn't there?
Read on for a full breakdown of the finale of Little Disasters.
Little Disasters ending explained: Who hurt Betsy?
At the hearing, Liz agrees to be Jess's character witness, and also for Jess to stay with Liz and Nick if and when she is released. The judge grants bail under the conditions of only having a couple of supervised visits per week, which Jess isn't happy about.
In the midst of Jess's own drama, we also find out that Rob (Stephen Campbell Moore) has only continued to get more vicious in his actions towards partner Mel (Emily Taaffe). Mel comes home to find Rob showing an estate agent around for a valuation, with Rob telling Mel that they'll be moving out of London to live with his parents because they can't afford to live there any longer.
Rob says he needs the money for his business, something Mel disputes as she fails to see any evidence of his work. When Mel says she won't be moving, Rob gets nastier and tells her that he'll take the kids and prove she's an unfit mother, pointing at the fact that she doesn't own the house, have any money of her own or have a job. In just a matter of days, the house is put up for sale and Mel has to tell the group that they'll be moving, much to their surprise.
Charlotte eventually tells Andrew that she also hasn't been going through with the IVF egg retrieval and while they do come to an understanding, it's clear that Charlotte doesn't feel the same about Andrew as he does for her.
We see the truth, though – that Frankie does know something. He did let someone into the house that day and it was none other than Rob.
Chasing after Frankie, none of the group are able to find him until Jess hears him crying behind a tree. The group are pleased that Frankie's been found but he's unable to speak, still crying and worked up. But when Ed hands Betsy to Rob, Frankie angrily shouts at him not to touch his sister.
It's clear Rob is only there to discuss money (once again) with Ed, but Frankie tells him that he needs help lifting up Betsy so he can change her nappy. Rob picks her up and tells Frankie to put the changing mat on the kitchen island counter, which he does. Frankie runs off to get Betsy a new nappy from her room but Rob is distracted, rooting around for Ed's credit card to see if he can forge a signature for his record company contract.
Once she stopped crying, Rob concluded that Betsy was fine but places the blame entirely on young Frankie, telling him that it was his idea to lift her out of the cot and change her nappy anyway.
Once let out of his interview, Jess is notified that all charges against her have been dropped and she's free to go. As for Rob, Andrew informs Mel that the CPS will likely go after him for perverting the course of justice and wasting police time, which could lead to two years' imprisonment.
At the end of the episode, we see that the 'breaking the fourth wall' interviews were actually conducted by the social worker in charge of Jess's case, who tells Jess that she'll be closing it and that she's clearly a good mother. It's Betsy's birthday and we then see the group meet up for a picnic, with everyone but Rob there and life seemingly back to normal.
