Summary
It was in character for Helly to choose herself - choose Mark - at the end of S2E10. It would have also been in character for her to choose Mark Scout's happiness.
Is it still a fix-it if it's the worst ending for all characters involved?

“I’m going to fucking kill you.” He tells the voice.
The radio crackles, a laugh stuttering through the static.

Summary
Devon crouches down, runs her fingers gently across a small, delicate bundle of flowers extending from a curled stem. Smiles, a little sardonically, “Sounds like a thinly veiled metaphor.”
Gemma laughs, “Maybe it is a bit too on the nose.”
Two scenes from a well-loved backyard.

“I wish you’d take them raw,” he says.
I did, she wants to scream, because she knows he isn’t talking about eggs. It wasn’t my choice to stop.
She says nothing. Her knife and fork come to rest, her seventeen calories uneaten.
She stares down at her face on the plate and remembers how she tied herself to the chair in which she sits.

Summary
Mark is still covered in a stranger's blood when he slaps Charlotte Selvig's floral-patterned credit card onto the counter of a motel check-in desk fifteen miles outside of Kier.
(Not far enough, his animal brain is nagging at him. They need to get further, leave the state — fuck, leave the country, build a spaceship and leave the world behind. He could do it. It — it fucking feels like he could do it right now. He can do anything. Build a spaceship, lift a car, walk on fucking water. Gemma’s here. She’s here. She’s here. She was dead, and now she's here.)

"Doing okay?" The technician behind Irving's head put a hand on his shoulder. He was tilted forward in a procedure chair with electrodes covering his head and needles he couldn't feel in places he preferred not to think about too deeply.

Summary
“You’d like him, you know,” Thomas said.
“I do like him,” Aldo said automatically, twirling the stem of his wine glass, looking into its deep red like it was a scrying mirror.
“I mean as a friend. If you spent more time with him. You have a lot in common.”
“Do we use the same shampoo?” asked Aldo, raising an eyebrow. Thomas gave him a warning look but his mouth was tugging up.
“You’re both stubborn,” he said bluntly.

Cardinals like Thomas Lawrence and Aldo Bellini know all too well how slowly things move within the walls of the Vatican. But with Vincent Benítez's election cracking their world open, and the new Pope cutting away the old branches to make room for the new, both find that change is flooding in everywhere, mostly within themselves.

Summary
The face in the mirror looks back at him, impassive. Mark looks away because he still can't decide if it's a stranger's face or his own looking back at him. If it's what stares out at him in the glass, then that means it has to be his, but Mark can't tell if he recognizes it. Is it familiar? Are you sure?
Wait. What are you-?

Summary
“To me, it is undeniable that human beings, for all their vices, exist. I see them daily, going about their business like bees in a hive. Even those I do not witness leave evidence of their existence behind. Every skyscraper, drawbridge, bar of soap, or ball of twine is proof that human beings live and breathe upon this earth.”

Summary
The first word she learns is Kier. The second is cheer, and the third is wit. It takes six more tries before she finally manages to say daddy.
(Later, she’ll turn this into a joke on late-night TV. “Most kids cry for their parents,” she’ll say, flashing Oprah the smile she practiced in the mirror that morning. “I cried for principles.”
The audience eats it up. Natalie will call it the perfect icebreaker.)
