WAIT PAUSE PAUSE I know we joke about straight phobic irving BUT LIKE the fact he was suspicious about Helena being an Important outie... it must've been more salt on the wound that she got to be openly interested in mark when he and burt had to dance around each other and didn't even kiss. It was likely at the back of his mind at that point, but learning that Helena was an eagan... he probably had to reel it in that all of it was just so unfair. He wasn't gonna have his happy ending, and he wasn't gonna let this outie have it either.
