Line 57:
In "[[Of Human Bonding]]", while Jake was away, she sounded out the [[Fashion Club]] about how to respond if "this girl's boyfriend" no longer appreciates her and if the relationship has become "sort of a drag". In "[[Gifted]]", she made a rather angry 'joke' regarding divorce. "[[Antisocial Climbers]]" showed that when they actually ''tried'' to talk about their relationship and feelings (after having sex), they were completely unable to do it and ended up in embarrassed silence.
Once, Jake got angry that Helen wasn't supporting his career and managed to guilt her into going along with him on a networking mission ("[[Just Add Water]]"); she has since acted as 'supportive wife' during business meetings for his sake, but it clearly bores and irritates her ("[[My Night at Daria's]]"). When his career has taken a hit, she's at times been supporting ("[[Arts 'N Crass]]") and other times tried to get him to find another job ("[[Sappy Anniversary]]").
However, in general they get on as a couple and episodes like "[[The Teachings of Don Jake]]" and "[[Jake of Hearts]]" show she truly cares for him, with her whole routine and home life changing after Jake's heart attack (and then changing back when it became clear he'd be fine). In "Psycho Therapy", she was also upset at the thought she'd left Jake feeling neglected and resentful, and apologised to him (and vice versa) for things said. "[[Fire!]]" showed them in a loving, calm relationship once they were in a relaxed environment, though this ended once stress re-entered the scene.
