Granted, she gets over it pretty quick, thanks to Artie’s timely arrival, but still, every time she proposes something non-violent, she leaves you scratching your head trying to figure out what she’s really planning.

1) in panel one, Helen is literally wearing her heart on her sleeve.

2) Because of the way she’s holding her hands in panel four, her heart has turned upside down after what Dave has said.
