Helena Eagan's true identity as her Innie, Helly, was revealed, leading to a dramatic confrontation with Irv. Irv suspected Helena and, during a campfire encounter, expressed his doubt about her cruelty. A tense standoff escalated as Irv threatened to drown Helena, prompting intervention from Mr. Milchick, who subsequently fired Irv. Despite challenging filming conditions, actor John Turturro praised the vision of director Ben Stiller and felt satisfied with the vindication of his character's complexity.
"What you said to me last night, it was cruel. Helly was never cruel," Irv tells her when they come face-to-face in the woods. "So if you're not her, then who are you? Who would have the power to send their Outie to the severed floor?"
Turturro, who likens the episode to "a movie within a movie," was impressed by the vision from director Ben Stiller. He estimates it took about a month and a half to complete filming.
With his ORTBO plans scuttled, Milchick retaliates by firing Irv, which seemingly kills his Innie. Nobody threatens collegial murder at the pond in Woe's Hollow and gets away with it.
But it was worth it to vindicate his character. "The guy that you think wouldn't be reading the room," he puts it, "is reading the whole building."
