After doing an interview with Carol Connors in her dream job in New York, Lanie is told to meet with the president of the network (to discuss her promising future with the network) but she refuses and decides to go back to Seattle to be with Pete. As she is walking down the street, she is accidentally shot by a man who is resisting arrest by the police. Lanie is taken to the hospital, and when she wakes up, Pete is beside her.

Lanie: Someone once said, live everyday as if it were your last cause one of these its gonna be. Jack was right a part of me did die that day the part of me that didn't know how to live. What does the future hold, Jack knows. When I talk to him I make sure we only talk about sports and weather.
Question: Excluding plot device, when Lanie goes to see Prophet Jack a second time, why didn't she simply ask him how she was going to die?
