spoilers about Helen

Anyone else think it's ironic that Cooper orders her to go back down into the cellar to keep her safe when their daughter had become a zombie at that point? I think if Helen had stayed upstairs, she and Barbra could have overpowered Cooper to stop him getting the gun. The zombies probably wouldn't have gotten into the house and if they had, Ben, Barbra and Helen could have at least gotten away. For some reason I don't think Helen would have gotten violent on Ben for shooting their daughter

yep. she was basically sent to her death by her *beep* husband. i do agree that if she had stayed upstairs, her, Barbra and Ben would've all had a better chance at surviving. Cooper deserved his death and I'm betting Helen probably would have helped the other two over him.

No road goes on forever.

I find it even more ironic that Ben was the one who took final refuge in the cellar when it was the last place he even considered to go.
