I thought that was attraction. Maybe she caught feelings, maybe it’s the innies bleeding into their brain subconsciously or just simply Helena attracted to Mark’s innie
I think it was a simplified version of this: ever run into someone you hooked up with who doesn’t remember it the same way you do? Imagine if they don’t remember it at all? That’s how I read it.

Maybe. I saw desperation and/or trying to get something across to Mark with her eyes.
Yeah the desire to bang

How the hell is Mark S so good at sex? He’s been alive for like 2 years and Helly was like the third woman he ever met.

another frustrating episode to me...whats with all the dylan´s wife visits? i dont really care if she falls in love with his innie. Just use all that screen time to explain more stuff, for example why the fuck that japanese girl is so young and its working there?
All of a sudden Mark and Helly take a very long detour from ey, lets find this door! grab the map!! and decided they can have sex under a few tables? an nobody from Lumon is watching them? So fucking weird, and mostly bad storytelling.

Counterpoint: The multiple love triangles that are forming are fantastic storytelling, and the story arcs might turn out to be quite compelling viewing for anyone not desperate for the show to explain everything immediately.

And who wouldn't want to learn more about Dylan and Gretchen, and how his involvement with Lumon will affect their family?
The show can't focus on one relationship and leave everything else unexplored.

Especially when the premise of the show is exploring if you’re really a different person at work vs home

besides what we all think or try to get from the series, i was speaking more directly to how they introduce those scenes in the last episode, in a very weird and clunkly way and both of those scenes seemed to happen or appear all of a sudden, which i felt it was weird to say the least.

when Helen met Mark at the restaurant, she was speaking to his outie. what trauma would Mark's outie have experienced with the OTC for her to apologize for it and emphasize how terrible it must have been for him? his outie never really experienced anything other than the loss of time, right?

yeah, its not explain what if Lumon explained something to Mark´s outie about it. Kinda the same happens with Dylan´s outie were his wife lies to him about going to see him...Lumon doesnt tell him about that? weird.
