Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Helen’s shift from psychological theater to mass violence in Episode 7 mirrors her earlier use of performative cruelty. The ‘Late Show’ audition was a failure of absolute control; the Forum Square purge is her attempt to restore order through spectacle and eradication.
