I spent most of Vigilante waiting for the other shoe to drop. In my mind, I believe Helen really does think she's dying, and is allowing herself a bit more joy in John's company than she otherwise would.
Yes, I did feel on edge most of the episode. And the fact that Helen really thinks she is going to die and therefore getting as much time near him as she can, makes a lot of sense. I really can't wait until the rest of season 3 airs!! *dying here*
As far as Ashley . . . I liked the fact that she gave Helen's character another dimension and she did bring that special touch of sass to the show :) TPTB did leave themselves open to write her back into the story if they wanted to. Which I think was a good idea, because you never know. Like you said: "No one dies in science fiction."
