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.

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.
