Helen’s confession reveals how the company’s legal team weaponized the informal origin of its founding idea—sketched on a napkin—to strip Andi of her rightful stake. The organization is represented through the contracts, lawyers, and courtroom tactics that enabled this injustice, framing it as an entity that prioritizes power and profit over loyalty or fairness. Blanc’s probing questions force Helen to confront the organization’s role in the betrayal, exposing its ruthless nature as a driving force in the conflict.
