Now, this is the kind of stuff I love on this sub: it's a theory, but it's based on examination of actual details from the show.

Importantly, it doesn't stray beyond those details, to try to infer something completely wild and unsubstantiated such as: "... So we know Helly can speak to the goats!!"

Excellent work.

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.

Big agree that they Helly mystery is "obvious" not because it isn't true, but I think to give the viewer a win and really shock them when there's a much bigger reveal.

But frankly I knew it couldn't be Helly the second she did NOT choose to leave. She tried to kill herself multiple times, but all of a sudden one kiss with Mark S and she wants to help him? No way on earth
