Lizzie asked Renee Carlino:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Renee Carlino That's a great question. I think had Elizabeth not written Grace back, Grace would have assumed her letters were never read and maybe Grace would have pushed further, but since she did get the "move on with your life letter," that Elizabeth wrote as Matt, and assuming Grace wrote several more letters explaining that her and Matt had a child, I'd believe that the rejection she felt was enormous, thus preventing her from pushing even more. I imagine if I had a child whose father continually rejected and ignored my requests to talk to him that I'd probably give up too. But Matt and Grace are flawed because they are human. Had they made all the choices we think they should have made who knows how it would have ended. It might have been fated this way. :)
