Britt Lower faces an acting challenge in portraying Helena Eagan and her Innie Helly R. in the show’s second season. Helena is a cold heiress, while Helly possesses free will and humor. In the finale, Mark and Helly make significant choices that escalate tensions between Innies and Outies. Helly emphasizes the mistreatment of severed workers, leading to a unionization effort. Lower notes that the show has hinted at this internal struggle since the first season, highlighting Helena's radicalization as she experiences life through Helly’s perspective.
Helly unionizes another department against Lumon's severed-worker practice, reminding everyone how they're all treated like 'fucking machines' that can be turned on and off at the will of the company.
Lower says the show has been planting seeds for this since the first season - and the narrative twist is enhanced by what she believes to be Helena's own quiet radicalization while undercover as Helly.
