Helen and Nikki Relationship Chart
by Rivergal

Additional Research by E. Kline and Kerry B.

If you, like me, have worn down your DVD player while scanning for Helen and Nikki scenes, this chart may be just what you need. If you, like me, like to track and analyze Helen and Nikki's stories as they weave through three seasons, this chart may be just what you need.

The Helen and Nikki Relationship Chart lists every scene that includes either or both characters and summarizes the content, location, and timing of each. Icons highlight key plot elements and provide a visual illustration of the overall trajectory of the relationship. A supplemental companion table lists not only the same scenes, but also those in which the characters are absent but referenced by other characters (think Fenner). 

Thanks to E. Kline, Kerry B., and Jennifer T. for their thoughtful comments and exhaustive research, which have made the list comprehensive and accurate.
