I thought it was interesting when she was talking about "course correcting" and the man in the red shoes - she knew that if he hadn't died under the scaffold then he would have been hit by a taxi and if he wasn't hit by a taxi then he would break his neck in the shower. She already knew these things because they had already happened before ? someone HAD saved the man from the scaffolding, then HAD saved him from the scaffolding AND the taxi etc....
