Dear BBC, we were not prepared for us to have our head and hearts messed with like this.

So, now we know what happened to baby Noah, and its more heart-breaking than we ever thought it could be.

Joanna and Alistair have reached a point of no return, with both of their true natures boiling to the surface ahead of the series end.

With one episode to go, heres what we want answered as the show reaches its dramatic conclusion.

***WARNING: Major spoilers for episode three lie ahead***

Did Joanna really accidentally kill Noah?

Alistair was really quick to come to the conclusion that Noah mustve been killed by a simple switch of medicine made by Joanna.

His version of events does seem to make the most sense – that 30-hour flight was brutal, and couldve sent even the best of us into a delusional tailspin.

But he seems mighty determined to stick to that story, no matter what. Even if it meant twisting it against her.

How did Alistair die?

So…biggest whopper of the episode is that Alistair is dead. And Joanna is in the frame for it.

Were going to have to wait until next week to find out the truth about what happened, how the government minister clocked it and why.

Perhaps the family just have the worst history known to mankind and it was an accident to. But somehow we doubt it.

Did Joanna kill Alistair?

Thats the big one weve been left hanging on. Joanna is in the dock for her husbands death. Though how she got to that point we still dont know.

It is very possible that his controlling and manipulative demands finally caused her to snap, especially after he had the gall to tell her she should be grateful that hes gone to extreme lengths to cover up the babys death.

However, Alistair is, by his ex-wifes personal account the best liar she ever knew. Which could essentially mean anything.

Are Joanna and Alexandra in it together?

It would be a pretty poetic form of justice if the two women Alistair had beaten down come back fighting and unite for real justice against him.

Using his bad turn of luck with Noah to be outright malicious, Ali has gone to extreme lengths to win over his daughter Chloe and cause as much pain to Alexandra as he can.

Meanwhile, his growing need to control every element of Joannas life has been seen to be suffocating her and he wont listen to her when she demands that he leave her be.

Hes a downright cruel guy.

The Cry concludes next Sunday at 9pm on BBC1.
