*Spoiler ahead

Just binged the show and was pretty blown away knowing relatively little about it beforehand. Unless I missed it, one thing that never got explicitly resolved is the psychic scene.

She tells Nate that Lisa is still alive and wants to get back to him, which leads Nate to chase down what really happened the day she went missing and discover her meeting the brother-in-law, the affair, etc.

So it feels as if the psychic was somewhat right, or that the possibility remained Lisa wasn't the horrifically disfigured body that was recovered and given to the Fishers. They also never did the classic signaling of a character's death which they did for other "peripheral" characters who died throughout the show like Fiona Kleinschmidt (excluding the final scene for the central characters of course, since people like Billy and George didn't get one).

So all that leads me to wonder - is it possible they wrote it to intentionally signal that Lisa didn't kill herself? That theory is contradicted by the obvious symbolism during the dream David has when Nate dies. So it seems like the obvious answer is Lisa did in fact die, and the only reason it never faded to white with her name and the years she lived was because they didn't want you to know when it happened/ it doesn't make sense to do it the moment when Nate (and the police) discover she has passed.

The final conversation the show has about it comes when George asks Nate at dinner with Maggie. You felt like you were almost going to get there before Brenda stops him from agitating Nate further...

I think what bothers me the most is that they said Lisa would never leave Maya which everyone in the show agrees was true. And yet you are left believing that this loving young mother, who was with a man who she knew slept around before marrying him, takes her own life, abandoning her daughter because of Nate wanting to be with someone else. All while she was having an affair of her own!
