That is more or less how Trojans Horse works as a whole.
Parts of this one work incredibly well, while others feel rushed.
The most significant of the latter group is Hellys return to work and, really, to life.
But she also seems to recover with remarkable speed.
Because they are two aspects of the same person, it is more legally complicated.
(Not that innies seem to have any legal rights in this world.)
But from the perspective of Mark, he has been assaulted.
To Helly, he seems like an unfeeling, victim-blaming asshole.
Hes doing it for the riches being promised by Lumon.
But the opposite seems to have been proven true.
(As the one giving those platitudes to Mark, Milchick understands this better than most.)
But for the moment, neither of them can do anything about it.
The elevator comes late in a difficult episode for everybody at Lumon.
Is it possible that he has also been through some kind of reintegration procedure?
The episode concludes with Reghabi continuing to fine-tune the reintegration process with Outie Mark.
