This arc, like [[Penny and Aggie/Recap/Omega Sisters/Recap|Omega Sisters]], is a Helen story with guest art by Randy Milholland of ''[[Something Positive]]''. Helen goes to see ''[[An Inconvenient Truth]]'' with Aggie, Lisa, Fred and Daphne and tries, awkwardly, to participate in their mutual friendly snarking. As they leave the theatre, Aggie and Lisa kid each other about their respective celebrity crushes, when Marshall comes by with Karen, at which Aggie jumps into a bush in panic. The couple make friendly small talk with Helen, disregarding Lisa's open contempt for Karen. Afterward, as Aggie re-emerges, Lisa explains teasingly to Helen that Aggie's in love with Marshall, and says more seriously that Aggie would be a better match for him, prompting an angry warning from her friend to drop the subject. Aggie advises Helen not to get too friendly with Karen, not just because of her crush, but because Karen uses people. "How's that different from anyone else?", Helen asks.
 
Despite Aggie's advice that she should befriend only people who share her interests and like her for herself, Helen finds Aggie's friends judgemental and dismissive of her tastes, and so she seeks to expand her social circle. Reluctantly, she goes shopping with Tharqa at her invitation, despite Tharqa still being Charlotte's friend, as well as a thoroughly mean-spirited and spiteful person who, after Karen flees in insecurity and nausea from seeing her overweight figure in an unflattering swimsuit, contemplates "slip[ping] her a constipate." For her part, Helen contemplates cutting Tharqa out of her life before she becomes her next target, but lacks the assertiveness to do so.
