“I used to be watching some nature present on TV, sporting sweatpants and a T-shirt,” says Helly. “Then I went outdoors and located a man; he appeared like a gardener. Informed him every thing. I believe he sort of thought it was bullshit, however he mentioned that his brother was a cop and that he would inform him every thing. I do not know. Sorry, guys. I actually tried.”
Why does Helly misinform the others about what she noticed?
There are actually solely three doable explanations as to why Helly is perhaps mendacity to the others. The primary, and perhaps more than likely, is that she’s ashamed. Her outie is not simply an worker at Lumon — she’s actually one of many higher-ups. To some extent, she’s answerable for what the innies undergo on the severed flooring. Maybe Helly lies as a result of she does not need her associates to suppose badly of her?
The second choice is that she’s mendacity as a result of Lumon has some sort of leverage over her. Possibly they’re forcing her to inform a sure story, and have threatened her with one thing unhealthy taking place if she does not.
The third and most out-there choice is that she’s not likely innie Helly in any respect. Possibly, simply perhaps, the Helly who rejoins Mark and the others is her outie counterpart, Helena, in disguise as her innie with the intention to achieve details about what the others know.
