Or, a tale of two souls emerging from the underworld.

Still, he turns away. Still, she catches the redhead’s gaze, can’t place her finger on why she seems so achingly familiar.
Cut, print.
Except: Gemma doesn’t wake up.

Summary
Helly is the one who gave his life purpose and meaning, and all of a sudden Mark knows he's going to do something far more frightening than die for her. He’s going to live for her. They’re going to have to snatch at every second, fight for every moment of life. But they’re going to do it together.
Mark and Helly run together into the depths of their temporary kingdom. Mark suffers the consequences of his outie’s decisions. Helly grapples with being a better person than her outie is.

Summary
But here is Devon, and Devon is wonderful. Devon is younger than him by three and a half years. Devon has a husband and a baby. Devon is the only person he can trust to tell about the OTC.
That last part isn’t something he picks up from talk or context clues. He just feels it, before he even realises that she is his sister. (The less that can be said about that particular misunderstanding, the better.)
And now there’s… something else.

It is an act of kindness, an act of self-sacrifice…for a woman and a man she doesn’t even know. And yet, the door closes behind him again…now Helly being the one watching through the window as Mark Scout stumbles into the arms of his wife.
Or
What if Helly had decided to push Mark through the door in the finale?

Summary
Mark still gets Gemma out, but what if he couldn’t leave with her— even if he tried? Maybe the universe wants him to realize that he should have chosen differently, because somehow he and Helly keep ending up right back where they started…

Summary
“What are you doing? Open the door, we need to get out of here.”
She’s still disoriented so it takes her a couple of seconds to put two and two together: the lack of familiarity in his eyes, how she’s standing in an exit stairwell while he’s still hovering in a decidedly Lumon-esque hallway. That is not her husband. That is not her husband. Oh god.
Or:
"This is probably just arospec cope but I sincerely believe that that last scene would have been just as effective without Helly, if not even more so (if just in a different way)."

Summary
For Helly, there’s no bridge between here and out there. She’s not even sure she’d deserve it if there were. Irving is dead because of her; Dylan thinks she’s no different from her outie at all. This is all that’s left: Mark’s face in the lowlight as he stares at her in disbelief, tears brimming in his eyes. The tight feeling in her chest. The words caught in her throat, all the things that maybe she’d say if she were someone else.
“But I’m her, Mark,” she says. She’s fought it for so long, and in some ways, she still doesn’t believe it’s true. But in the ways that matter right now, it is. “I’m her.”

Helly's perspective through the events of the finale.
