Helly must face the consequences of her Eagen heritage as her innie finally sees the life she has outside the bounds of the workplace. Given her rebellious and stubborn rejection of the whole system, Helly has her work cut out for her understanding why she undertook the severance procedure as she continues to battle with herself between worlds.
