Ah, lol, because he did look at some paper near the end but I didn't catch what was shown on it (or was that a different character? Lol I fail). I dunno, they are sort of implying that she is still alive with Hopper leaving eggo's in a container presumably for her to eat. I mean it could be a symbol of flowers on the grave, but that just seems unlikely to me. Plus to kill such am awesome character off in the first season would be a waste if they are continuing the same story arc (which they are implying that they are) unless of course it's going to be different stories each season (unlikely, but possible). Ooo cool! Looking forward to more
