...Well, actually, I'm pretty sure women are born with all of their eggs, they don't make more. But I don't think the Proletheans removed all of them? So either she realizes the eggs are special, or still thinks of them as being hers even though they've been removed. I dunno. Helena just does what Helena's gonna do.

I mean, she was very excited by the idea of having kids, and is super protective of her eggs/ children in general, so I doubt she would leave them in the barn when she burnt it down. I get the impression that, especially after the super-hugsy party at Felix's, she figured that the eggs would be in good hands with her seestras. If she was leaving them, it was probably just because girl needs some 'me' time after all the craziness, maybe go find her new boyfriend and spend like a week decompressing with crazy sex or whatever.

The pessimist in me just thinks that now that they've made Helena sympathetic, they're going to kill her again, and it's going to be so much worse. Ugh.

The anti-climax of the breakout seemed to be kind of a reflection of where the show ended up: there's so much scheming going on that basically no one's plans are really worth anything at this point. Whether that was deliberate or not, I dunno. For all the stuff that happened, you're right, they really didn't get anywhere with a lot of the main threads.

Also agree with you on the Tony thing. Poorly handled and it's not really clear why it happened at all, so it did feel like a 'very special episode' kind of a thing, which is a shame. Like, it'd be pretty stupid if Tony was a one-and-done character, but on the other hand, I'm not really sure I want to see him again if they can't use him effectively. Or at least find a way to make the beard not look super fake.

Also, I think the nitrogen tank was supposed to be the rest of Helena's eggs, Jurassic Park style.
