Honestly, all I thought throughout this episode was, “Is it over yet?”
Helen’s parents are back together and they talk about how, even though her father was a perennial cheater, he wanted to be with his wife because she knew him best.
Which gets Helen to thinking about Noah. She’s with the doctor, but she’s still hung up on her ex. Then she goes to Max and he seems happy and he’s engaged.
Then (of course) he can’t help doing Helen while she’s there. But she makes a mistake and brings up Noah, and Max is so over her (as usual) and kicks her out of the house.
While she longs for Noah, he isn’t there for her and, specifically, Martin. Martin is doing his senior year over and about to flunk out because he’s skipping class.
He comes home eventually and tells Helen that he has been with Noah in Pennsylvania.
Helen isn’t sure what to do about her son, and when she goes to his sister’s house to check up on him, she gets an earful.
She gets that Noah and Helen’s relationship was screwed up from the beginning, and she indicates that there are things Helen doesn’t know about his mother… but stops short of telling her. She also brings up that she doesn’t think Noah killed anybody.
Noah has gone home to Juliette with the busted car and she tells him that it belongs to the school. She wants him to be into her, but he just isn’t.
