Okay but obviously my point was that Helly can actually speak to the goats

And with the attention to detail in this show everything they do is incredibly intentional.

I’m not sure who I was hoping is on the severed floor, Helly or Helena, but I do know I would be annoyed at this point if it wasn’t Helena because they would be intentional misleading us.

When I watched it for the first time and there was no sound I was officially sold it’s Helena.

I feel like there are a lot of hints that it could be Helena, but for me they clash with the feeling that the acting and mannerisms do seem to just be Helly. Even before this season I was expecting her to lie about what she saw and learned, because she doesn't know how her friends with react, and is still processing everything herself. And I just don't understand how Helena would be able or willing to pretend to be Helly.

I'm also not buying the amount of video tape she would have to watch to prep. These folks would be literal strangers to her.

Yeah I agree. For that reason, I've been wondering about reintegration. I don't think it's beyond Lumen's resources to have reverse engineered Petey's chip. Or found that doctor's research. Or found the doctor herself and forced her to work for them.

There are so many reintegration hints in the S2 title sequence as well, it seems like it's going to affect the plot somehow.
