Perhaps there is some mystery left after all. Then there are Harry’s shady business dealings, including the relevance of his secretive associate who hasn’t been seen since the premiere but reappears here offering to finagle Alice ownership of Harry’s house in exchange for being kept out of the inquest. Well, there’s always the matter of the house, I suppose, since Gerry and Minnie finding a buyer makes for the cliffhanger ending of Finding Alice season 1, episode 3. But the thing is, he might be, and with Harry’s death having been deemed accidental, the mystery of his arrival and his presence on that fateful night remain the only ones to unpack. What did, though, was the inquest, which ruled that Harry’s death was indeed an accident after a timely intervention from George, who awkwardly shook the hands of his grandparents and didn’t know quite not to make of the implication that he might be after a sizeable inheritance. Little ones can learn a lot from George - one of the most curious monkeys in all of literature - with adventures narrated by William H. Virtually none of these things had favorable outcomes. Synopsis The story follows the exploits of Cecily Giraffe. Before that, Alice has to navigate a whole slew of minor traumas and personal embarrassments, from doing the school run and chatting with the headteacher in her pajamas, to scaring off a hip estate agent who Gerry and Minnie were showing around the house that is still technically theirs (“No you won’t, you silly tw*t.”) She also visited a grieving support group with Nathan (“I’m Alice… and I’m an alcoholic”), stole a strand of George’s hair for DNA testing purposes, almost had a car accident, and visited George’s therapist mother.

George is the star witness in Finding Alice episode 3 since he was present for Harry’s death, but simply getting him to testify took most of the episode, despite his early willingness. Then there’s the matter of the inquest itself, which is set to determine whether or not Harry’s death was an accident at all. Her constant acerbic wisecracking didn’t feel like a fluctuating tone anymore but a desperate and waning attempt to cling to a life that has been buried in her back garden. Hawes’s titular Alice has been tough to read, but here the weight of not just her husband’s death but also an on-going dispute over his £1.5m dream smart home and his secret son George felt tangibly on her shoulders.
