Following up on the events of the previous episode, Joe's office is destroyed after Helen rams her Jeep through it. He grapples with figuring out not only how to repair it, but also how to finance those repairs. He tries to reason with Helen to get her to pay for the damages but she refuses. He has no choice but to sue her.
These first few episodes of Season 3 show a dark and vindictive side of Helen Chappel. In my opinion, the way she treats Joe is entirely unjustified. Sure, he may not have been honest about the fact that he was no longer single but what should she really expect? She goes completely MIA for several months. Was Joe supposed to just wait for her to return? I don't think so. He had every right to get on with his life. Helen's character becomes entirely unlikable, letting anger and bitterness dominate her life.
