Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Helen’s earlier tender care of Ann — offering food and finding her Subutex — evolves into brave confrontation with Nevison about compassion and consequences. Her loyalty to Ann transcends illness: she fights for Ann’s moral safety, not just physical.
