   Summary

   “I don’t have the energy for this, Helena. Now, if you’d just leave before my date gets here…”

   “It’s me, Mark.” The words tumble out of her mouth, tripping over one another. “I’m your date.”

   —

   Mark attends a New Year's Eve party for former severed workers, where he discovers that the woman he's spent months falling for is the same one he's been trying to avoid since he left Lumon's basement.
