So it's discussed in the "after the episode" featurette but I want to highlight the beauty of the four part/four person Mark/Gemma transition scenes.

First we have Mark Scout finally find his wife, but she's an innie. It's tragic that Mark finally finds her, but she isn't her.

Then we get the true reunion. Mark Scout finally finds his wife Gemma. It's what he's been looking for the entire series. But it's tragic that w don't have time to explain or discuss anything.

Then we get two strangers. Mark S and Ms Casey. Sure they're familiar with each other, but they don't really know each other. It's a reminder of how tragic things were in season one, so close and yet so far.

And finally we get the reverse. Mark S and Gemma. Mark S dud his duty and saved Mark Scout's wife. But that isn't his wife. Tragically he can't save the one he loves. Best he can do is run away with Helly, but they have nowhere to actually run.

So while watching, Helly suddenly appears from the elevator and I wonder. She disappears during the vending machine moment and I have to wonder where she is.

I think it's possible, but looking at the dialogue and how she reacts, it's definitely Helly R.

So it's Helly R.
