some things i noticed since watching this is that mark probably uses "shared vessels" as it's part of his 'lumon-speak', probably vocabulary picked up from the handbook (insert something about religious-speak and how it sounds alot like the 'cult of Kier') Mark definitely had feelings before the OTC considering their chemistry and banter, the scene where Dylan points out mark is all dewy mouthed, and even their conversation during the egg bar social. Helly rationalizes Helena tricking Mark as something to drive them apart, because to her, her outside self is evil and conniving and has everything in the world, and she can't fathom a possibility where its to have some human connection. Britt Lower has talked about how Helly takes back her agency this episode, and her taking off her shoes is symbolic of that; her no longer walking in Helena's shoes. It's funny how Helena and Mark Scout have chemistry when are in 'opposition'. It makes sense why Mark and Helly work, and gives us insight on how you would have chemistry with the same person despite losing your memories. It's also interesting that she's more awkward than Helly, like being raised in a cult probably socially stunts you more than losing your entire personal memories. She did get pretty far with her awkward pathetic rizz, i'll give her that. She also says she's "like the head of the company", except she really isn't, and has no real power as of yet. Also, a great bit of acting by Adam Scott, when he laughs at Helena's banter, he starts a confused look on his face, almost like Mark is wondering WHY he has chemistry with this woman he met just a minute ago. Also, to why Mark recognizes Helena, I think the simplest answer is that he knows her because she is the daughter of the CEO of the company that he works at. I'm sure Jame Eagan has a more recognizable name to the public in this universe, like a Bill Gates or Susan Wojcicki, so it wouldn't be out of place for Mark to be more aware of her existence, and able to recognize her, especially when someone like her shows up in a random chinese restaurant. I think it’s actually probably a bit of both, like she is conflicted part of her is doing what you’re saying while the other parts of her are so indoctrinated into the cult of lumon that she instinctively is also being manipulative. If you listened to the Severance podcast with Ben & Adam at all a big thing they loved to ponder is how much of the innies and outies are the same person. So I definitely agree that Helena is becoming more disconnected from the cult of Lumon since Helly is so rebellious and has been from the beginning which shows that’s been a part of Helena all along too just subconsciously at most. No one seems to have any sympathy for Helena in the Diner scene. To me she is just as much a tragic victim as the Innies, raised in a cult by an unfeeling father. I read the scene as her desperate for Mark to remember their time together , looking for a connection, rather than being manipulative.
