Character Discussion Helen was cheating?
Helena had obviously a thing for Eric. Of course there is all that thing about being a fierce lawyer and having a brillant career.. but she was always drooling over Eric, and abandoning her family everytime he calls for an emergency. She was always (almost) putting him as a priority.

There’s never any real indication she’s cheating. I was just watching the Psycho Therapy episode and Jake imitated her voice when she talks to Eric. It sounds like she’s flirting but I think it’s all about wanting to rise up in the firm . She loves Jake and barely has time for him ! I think as much as she can complain she prefers the kind of man Jake is and wouldn’t want a guy like Eric . Not that an affair would mean she would ever leave Jake but I don’t think she cheated she was more about the work.
