Helena’s Isolated Upbringing & Balanced Tempers Have Made Her Lose Her “Fire”

Helena Has Lost Her Kier-Like Qualities Due To Jame & Lumon’s Control

An important detail in Jame ’s voice communication to Helly is that he did once see Kier inside of Helena Eagan . However , as she grew older , those signs of Kier waned . His countersign suggest thatHelena ’s personality was , at one point , more reflective of who Helly is today , which helps excuse why Helena resents her Innie so much . Tragically , though , it does n’t seem to be Helena ’s fault that Kier “ left her as she grow , ” as it ’s incriminate that keep Helena isolated , under unremitting scrutiny , unloved by her family unit , andher Four Tempers “ balanced ” create a shift in her personality and being .

Helena Eagan prefer to give her Innie a different name , " Helly R. , " in Severance , and it was n’t just to enshroud her identity from other severed people .

From her scenes outside the lop flooring and even when she attempt to be Helly , it was clear that Helena was someone who was unsure of herself , heroic for human connexion , and miss the leadership and confidence call for to pile up following and “ greatness ” like herancestor Kier Eagan . The tragedy in Jame being let down by Helena for losing Kier , however , is that it seems to be his geological fault .

Helly’s Leadership Qualities Mirror Kier, But They Use Them For Different Purposes

Though Helly could n’t be more disillusioned with Lumon , Kier , and the Eagans , that ’s exactly the kind of passion and ego - assurance that would be require for someone to be the " next " Kier . The stories that Lumon secern about the powerfulEagan family membersuggest that Kier ’s confidence , courage , aspiration , unattackable will , and charisma impart to his ability to begin his imperium and gather such a sizable , loyal following , which are all qualities line up in Helly . However , while Kier used these quality for immorality , Helly reach to use them for good .

Jame Eagan originally convinced Helena to undergo the severance procedure , but it was Helly who hear him say he was proud of her for agreeing to go through with it in the season 1 finale .

Even inSeverance ’s season 2 last , Helly is the one who is capable to rally all the Innies around their crusade against Milchick and Lumon , bringing an empowering and admirable mien unmatched by any of Lumon ’s current leaders . It ’s the precise “ fire ” that Lumon has been seem for since Kier Eagan ’s death . It just take place to be obtain in an Innie who is actively working against their mission . Still , rather than “ vote down ” Helly , it seems morelikely that Jame will hear to use the Kier qualities inside her to his advantageinSeverance ’s futurity .
