No shade to Helena, but I don’t see how she could not have saved Christina when she used her Time Machine (disregarding the closed loop system of it all).
Sophie, the woman she possessed, was the housekeeper for the house Christina was staying in that got broken into. So there’s no worry about a commute.
Christina had “awoke” with a fever and was told by Sophie (which may or may not have actually been Helena) to stay in bed
If she had 22 hours (and 19 minutes), what could have stopped her from just taking Christina to a different location, sickness be damned? It’s not like a Helena popped back moments before the robbery happened, because Pete & Myka had a whole day at Jack & Rebecca leading up to the murders and the moment they “lost” the Cinderella knife.
Plus, she had to “fight off” the intruders, but Christina died before, during, or after that fight anyway (“(Sophie) survived, but Christina…”). If the robbers were expecting an empty house, why would they have not only stuck around, but gone out of their way to kill a sick bedridden child if they were being attacked by a surprise martial arts queen? Granted, there were “too many” for Sophie/Helena, so they knew they were strong enough to take her, but still.
Am I making sense that HG’s backstory makes no sense? Unless I’m missing something, keeping Christina safe shouldn’t be as hard as Helena made it out to be. I know this show doesn’t have the best writing or logic sometimes, but…
