Like yeah, Gemma seeing Mark suddenly abandon here for some woman she’s never seen before is high melodrama and all, but consider: Gemma looks back, disoriented and confused about why he’s still on the other side of the door, and he looks at her blankly for a few moments, considering, before simply walking/running back into the darkness from whence he came. End scene.

Bwaa

i don’t think it’s helena. yes, helly was never cruel, but i really don’t think it’s her being cruel. i was a bit surprised she didn’t say anything or stop mark from coming up to her but i think she’s a woman in love at the end of the day and she just wants to be with the man she loves. same as imark, she doesn’t *really* know gemma/ms casey, and even if she wants to help her, this is potentially her last chance to be alive and be with mark. of course she’s gonna take it!!

imark is also totally justified, as both marks in their beginning argument had perfectly valid points. omark was invalidating imark, even if he didn’t mean to. he considers imark and helly’s relationship to be not nearly comparable to his and gemma’s, which, though they weren’t married and together for four years, relative to imark’s lifespan of two years, they’ve known each other a very decent amount of time.

like the writers said, if s1 was about childhood, this season is about adolescence. at the end of adolescence you start to become your own person and make choices for yourself. that is what imark and helly did. they chose themselves after a literal lifetime of serving their outies.
