What was the meaning behind Deep Water's ending?

In the end, Vic returns home to find Melinda waiting for him on the stairs.

After she tells him, "I saw Tony," she walks away unphased by the knowledge that Vic killed him.

Melinda had been sleeping with other men and Vic was well-aware - so were other people around them.

Their toxic relationship reached new heights when Vic started killing for Melinda.

Her reactions to Vic's actions, however, show that she is unafraid of him.

According to PopSugar, "It seems like what Melinda wanted out of her marriage to Vic all along was passion, and she gets that when he kills her other partners out of devotion to her. And now that they've come to an understanding, there's no telling who might be next on their list."
