Helen had just received the shock news that the newbies had a "game plan" / Zoe was sucking up to her and was a snake in the grass / Pav was sitting on the sidelines plotting (& perving) - she saw this as an opportunity to circle the wagons and unite the two 'camps' against the newbies and didn't trust Christopher to comply so he's on the outside.
"He's a f'in nightmare" ... "they can't know that we know what people have said"
Originals versus Newbies + Christopher.
...and now for my obligatory Chris slagging ... off he tootles to the Diary Room and has a little weep about how they've grown and how he feels proud to be around these people ... how astonishing Ashleigh is (and Mark) and how much he likes this Helen. FFS - pass the sick bucket - all the originals did was hatch a plan to exclude Pav, Zoe and Christopher from outside information meaning that Pav and Zoe don't have the opportunity to defend themselves and Christopher can't make his own informed decisions about what's been said.”
In other words she is doing exactly what was predicted and pretty much the same as every BB when newbies have been put in.
Just Helen's a bit more up front and probably feeling a bit embarrassed about not acting sooner.
The "not telling Christopher" meh, you don't tell the weak link anything in times of war, "loose lips cost ships".
When the zombie apocalypse happens, I am so going to make sure Helen's on my team.
Chris, not worth the time of day, would feed him to the zombies in a heartbeat.
