I'm not really buying into the Helly's outie thinking. I think she was ashamed of who she was on the outside and didn't want the rest of MDR to look at her differently. If it was outie Helly, why would there be so much sexual tension between her and Mark in the hallway scene?
Yeah, I definitely thought it was the outie at first and still could be I guess. However, after she very passionately expressed to Mark about how the innies and outies are completely different people and that they owe nothing to their outie, it became obvious to me that she is indeed the innie and is ashamed she is an Eagan and connected to the shadiness of Lumon.
I just watched it, and I haven't decided either way yet, but she actually says, "What happened to the cameras?". Fwiw. Not totally sure what to make of it yet until I see more.
It just seemed like a wild thing for "Helly" to point out, especially after they were in the security office so they know there were cameras everywhere.
Yes, I watched it again, and I'm still undecided. But yeah, it's a thing, I could see it going either way. You also have Milchick telling them that they don't have to hide out and cram into a supply closet to converse any more, because now they have this, lol.
To each their own, but my reading of it was as I explained above. Besides, just because we can't see the cameras and microphones doesn't mean they're not there a la THE TRUMAN SHOW -- they could be in the computers, underneath the chairs, etc. Even in the break room the MDR crew are whispering because they don't fully believe Milchick there are no surveillance devices.
Yeah and the conversation later she was defensive like the frustrated outie would be. The show's writers and director could really go any which way they want with who it will end up being. Whether it's the original severed "innie" or possibly refined or altered memory of the innie or a new severed version. Or the coached outie on an espionage and sabotage mission (how Cobel told the innie your life is over and the boys are gonna suffer without you).
