Here’s Why ‘Dead to Me’ Ended on a Cliffhanger, According to the Show’s EP Liz Feldman

Feldman also explained why viewers didn’t see Jen telling her kids or her new baby daddy, Ben (James Marsden), about Judy’s perceived death. When Jen returned from her and Judy’s trip, the show wrapped with her telling Ben, “I have something to tell you.”

While fans initially thought the phrase meant Jen was finally going to fess up to killing Ben’s twin brother, Steve, there was also some suspicion that she told Ben Judy was alive. Sadly, we will never be a valid answer since the series is over.
