I, contrary to the other reviewer, liked that Helen did that. Yes, it's unethical, but also quite romantic. I mean, from the top of my head, one other character did something unethical (ignoring a patient's DNR) and nobody was up in arms about that.
I also loved that they included her in this plot because it means they're not trying to act like she had never been in the show (I know she was in the previous episode, but my point stands).
Wilder said « When you love someone, you will do anything to protect them. Even this. » and that sums it up well.
What Helen did was wrong but if you put yourself in her shoes, it's almost understandable. The chemo was not working and she was losing Max. In terms of values and character, I'd go so far as to say that this trial is a lesser deal than leaving Max at the altar alone and ending their engagement with a phone call. The latter is much more unforgivable.
I am glad that Max has moved on from her and that he has found love again with Wilder.
The plot with Bloom and Casey apartment hunting but constantly getting interrupted by EMT calls was also entertaining. Solid episode for a solid season.
