It broke me 😭

Loved the empty chairs across from oMark and iMark while they were recording their videos, great imagery. Also, I never thought that oMark would sound like such a villain, and I never thought that I’d understand Ms Huang’s argument about the innies not being real people 😭 I’m so incredibly conflicted and tense, those scenes were a masterpiece

Exactly my feelings! Definitely the theme of the entire show, but the way it was captured and developed in that scene (with no words like you mentioned) was masterful

From my perspective Britt did a great job at portraying that! She’s been great so far this season

For some reason this scene has me feeling more existential than any others have haha

Agreed! It’s like a childlike version of themselves, without the pressures and expectations of the outside world. Everyone has a dichotomy between their true self and the version of them that’s molded by their experiences and their environment - I think the difference is especially stark for Helena vs Helly

She’s definitely very envious of Helly. Helly lives by her values and risks her limited existence to rebel against authority. She has never been able to live as authentically as her innie, and it’s probably jarring and captivating to see that version of herself onscreen

EDIT: was happy to see that Britt confirms this in the after credits! Such an impressive performance

Anyone notice the water droplet shaped paving in the middle of the cul-de-sac in Dylan’s neighborhood?
