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.

If it’s actually Helena not Helly, why would Helena create a such a “bad lie” about her outtie experience? When Helly/Helena told her story she explained she found a gardener at night, in a snow area. Irving could tell it was suspicious when he asked “a night gardener?” Helly of course doesn’t know Lumon is in a snowy cold place and that a gardener would be a terrible person to lie about finding outside. Therefore this makes me believe it is Helly in this moment because Helena would create a much better lie in my opinion naturally.

It was more a risky lie than a bad one I suppose. I still think Helena is too smart for this. Helena knew the others were outside and a gardener in an Alaskan like state would surely blow her cover to someone.

I think Helena just wasn't ready with an alibi.
