[it's time to stop being an avoidant tit and actually talk with cosima, so sarah waits until she's pretty sure cosima is alone in her lab before going down there and knocking on the door]

[she sighs and abandons her experiment to go sit on the couch]

... Look, I'm sorry I got all weird.

[coppelganger]

[sitting next to her, leaning back against the arm of the couch]

I'm sorry I freaked out.

[doubleblind]

You were right. I was getting jealous.

And you know how hard it is for me to admit both those things.

[coppelganger]

I know.

[how hard do you think it was for her to come down here in the first place?]

[doubleblind]

So yeah, sorry. I know you and Helena have like, that connection. I should've respected that.

[coppelganger]

... Do you really think I'm being, like... overbearing and shit?

[doubleblind]

... Honestly?

[coppelganger]

[waiting]

[doubleblind]

A little. I know you're doing it to protect her or whatever, but I think it's best for Helena to figure out who she wants to be, with our guidance, obvs, but we need to let her make her own decisions.

[coppelganger]

[sighs and runs a hand through her hair]

Maybe.

[doubleblind]

You're scared?

[coppelganger]

Scared?

[doubleblind]

Scared of what'll happen if you let Helena do her own thing.

[coppelganger]

It's more complicated than that.

[doubleblind]

Okay. Enlighten me.

[coppelganger]

I don't know how.

[doubleblind]

You don't know how to what?

[coppelganger]

To explain it, or... to act, maybe.

[doubleblind]

I know you'll figure it out. We all just need time to adjust.

[coppelganger]

Look, I know you think Helena should be figuring out her own shit, but she's been alone for such a long time, yeah?

[doubleblind]

The last thing I want her to feel is alone. But I also don't want her to feel trapped.

[coppelganger]

You think I make Helena feel trapped?

[doubleblind]

... I'm not sure. I think we have to be careful.

[coppelganger]

Maybe we should ask her.

[doubleblind]

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea.
