Summary
Mark hums a laugh and tilts his head until his cheek rests against Helena's hair. “Bet you’ll never make it,” he whispers.
She gives him a halfhearted slap on the chest. “Bet you won’t.”
“How much do you wanna bet?”
She pushes herself up to study his face. Her eyebrow arches. “That you can’t make it two weeks without f*cking me?”
--
Both reintegrated Mark Scout and reintegrating Helena Eagan are tapped to participate in Lumon’s new outreach tour to promote reintegration. Easy...except they’ve decided to keep their relationship out of the public eye, especially given Mark and Gemma Scout’s past as media darlings, and Helena’s decidedly less positive reputation. When they come up with the idea of turning the arrangement into a flirty game, they find themselves continually negotiating the rulebook.

Summary
The girls’ eyes all grew wide. “Professional soccer player Helena Eagan?” one of them asked.
“Former professional, but yes. That’s the one.”
“And she’s gonna be coaching us?”
Mark could feel the energy of the group changing. The girls stared at him, wide-eyed with excitement. Mark hadn’t seen this kind of enthusiasm in the team since before Gemma left. They began shifting slightly, and a buzz of whispers started among them.
“Alright, that’s enough,” Mark said, trying to regain control. “We’re already late to start practice.”

Summary
As soon as Helena pushes the door closed behind them, she’s hit by the gentle weight of Mark's body as he presses her into the adjacent wall, a gasp suspended in the back of her throat as his lips cover hers. She responds without really meaning to, just muscle memory, her head leaning back into his cupped hand as he protects her from knocking against the hard surface. The act of it is so tender that she can’t take it anymore, can’t take this—something she didn’t earn and doesn’t deserve.
She wedges her hand between them, palm to his chest, and pushes back. The look of hurt that flashes in his eyes is almost enough to pull him back to her.
“I’m—I’m sorry, Helly. Before the OTC… I should’ve kissed you back then; I wanted to. I—I thought—”
“I’m Helena Eagan,” she says, the confession tumbling out as an exhale.

Summary
Carol wakes hungry.
For days, for weeks, there’s been a hollow and persistent ache in the pit of her stomach. An emptiness that begs to be filled.
The other side of the bed is empty, covers pulled up and smoothed carefully. A dip in the pillow where someone’s head had lain. If she placed her own head in that spot, would she be any closer to whole?
She thinks of Zosia. She thinks of Helen.
Her stomach growls.
--
During the period of domesticity in S1E8, Carol is hungry for what she can't have.

Summary
The Mark and Helena lookalikes at the door smile pleasantly, and for a moment, the four of them just stare at each other. It’s bizarre, like looking in some kind of mirror, but also not. Then, lookalike Mark shakes his head like he’s just remembered he’s supposed to say something.
“Oh, hello there,” he says pleasantly. His voice is a little higher-pitched than Mark’s own. “We heard you two have a few questions that we might be able to help with.”
The Helena lookalike gives them a quick once-over and then smirks. “You might want to get dressed for this.”
--
After the events of Chapter 12 of I'll Meet You There, Mark and Helena are visited by their alternate selves from Outside With You and are offered some...very specific advice.
