I thought it was a great episode. As for the fiance, i don't think Helena put him in danger. I'm guessing that dear old dad found out about an informant and just assumed that it was the fiance because darling daughter would never betray him. It didn't matter that the evidence may have traced back to Helena, the fiance was always going to be the one blamed in daddy's mind.
The minute they said her name was Helena - I knew who she was but my hubby argued with me up until I was proven right.
It was a geek fest of guest stars but you forgot to mention Tahmoh Penikett of BSG.
Loving this show and I think they are doing a great job
It was a great ep, spoiled by two things... 1) the number of times Oliver's loved ones (and trusted ones) said "we can't trust you". if there was a drinking game for this show, I'd be asleep for a week. 2) the kiss at the end of the episode. Helena may not have ended the kiss ASAP, but she sure as heck didn't look like she wanted to be kissed (at the start of it)
>As for the fiance, i don't think Helena put him in danger would it qualify as naivety(sp) or willful blindness? (assuming, that is, that it was Helena's idea to give the information to the Feds; if it was her fiance's idea, and Helena was simply happy to be able to provide him whatever answers he needed, then that would make her forging crucible a wake-up call as well)
>It didn't matter that the evidence may have traced back to Helena, the fiance was always going to be the one blamed in daddy's mind. probably. but then, shouldn't Helena have kept the laptop? worst case, she or her dad hold the position that it was planted (by Feds or by cops), and maybe dad's right-

the number of times Oliver's loved ones (and trusted ones) said "we can't trust you". OMG you are so right. I wanted to slap them both but a drinking game is a better idea!
You make a valid point about the evidence. it was naive of her to think that information like that wouldn't be dangerous to her and those around her. So I will agree that she is somewhat to blame for her fiance which probably adds to the need to play vigilante.
