Now and Again

Lisa is probably the only one of Michael's friends and family who finds it difficult to believe he's dead - and she refuses to believe the insurance company's claims that Michael would commit suicide.

She's not employed outside the home upon his death, and although she has a degree, it's difficult to get a job with a degree in art history. Despite her situation, she's uncommonly generous to others, and tends to follow her gut instinct on several occasions. She has too much pride to take money as charity, especially when it seems like she's being bought.

While she doesn't know the truth as of yet, she senses something familiar about Michael when she encounters him the night he escapes, and thinking he's a homeless man, buys him shoes and a shirt. She knows him as "Mr. Newman," an IRS agent. Thanks to a series of misunderstandings and the Doc's machinations, she's furious with him one moment and the next moment he's redeemed himself and she's intrigued by him again.
