I know this sounds mean, but for the sake of the character development and plot, it makes absolutely no sense that she didn't die at the end of the 1st season. Dan is tethered and weighed down by her, literally everything he does, he does for her or the sake of someone else. He needs to be able to do things for himself...even she told him that!! It's great to be loyal, filial and to take care of your loved ones, but ffs don't be a doormat!!
