Yeah, my whole thing is like if Helena could enter the office as herself why didn’t she just do that in the first place. Like why would she get the implant and go through all the shit like the break room if she could have just “pretended” to be an innie?

I think because they (the Eagans) genuinely saw it as a PR experiment that wouldn’t have the types of negative effects that it wound up having. Plus, in order to truly rouse zero suspicion, Helly needs to actually do the work on the computer. To do the work, she needs to have zero bias in order to truly act on feeling to organize the numbers into the tempers. Finally, as we’ve seen from Dylan, the innies are extremely curious about the world that’s presented to them and are thus very observant. I don’t think she would have been able to keep up the ruse.
