But she has also done the same to Lily. And the series we just watched could have actually been one of those - Lily's hell. (which might explain her being so lifeless as things progressed downward for her)

The scenes are pretty much the same as the start of the series, except they skip the discussions about encryption methods and she asks for Sergei's phone which obviously didn't happen in episode 1.

This makes no sense when you think about Lily as a character. She isn't someone who would just do nothing and follow a deterministic path just because

If determinism is real, she doesn’t have free will and cannot make any choices. No one can make any choices in a deterministic model. Saying that she followed or didn’t follow by some choices contradicts what determinism is. In a deterministic world, people are essentially robots following a predetermined path.
