After Helen wins a case, colleagues at the law firm swarm her with praise, calling her beautiful, brilliant, and predicting she’ll become an official lawyer and be promoted. Sam is not here. One coworker mockingly says she might be fired tomorrow, undercutting the celebration. When asked why she became a lawyer, Helen replies, 'The best way to get revenge is through the law, not a fight that will hurt everyone.' That admission turns the victory serious: she intends legal revenge instead of violence, leaving her promotion and the hinted threat unresolved.
