Black Doves Season 2 Episode 3 “P is for Poison” sees Helen have this complete shift when it comes to her life. She’s no longer stuck as the Prime Minister’s wife with two kids and a big spy secret. She wants this life, this home, this family. And it’s interesting to watch as her motivations change and her fight shifts priorities, even as she’s still looking for Reed anyway she can.
As for the Sam of it at all, I’m really worried for him. Because he’s giving out advice to Williams in a manner that is reminiscent of someone who is settling their affairs before they take their life. And I know that Sam is fighting for Helen, this giving him direction at the moment. But what happens afterwards? When Sam has to face himself again? Because I don’t think he’s just going to be drinking like he did in Black Doves Season 2 Episode 1. I think it’s going to be worse and I don’t want that. And I bet Helen doesn’t either.
