    The Surrender

    Peggy and Helena spent most of their business day in meetings with the Peabody Corporation’s European executive committee. For the past two years they’d been working with the executive team and attorneys to divest of all interest in international holdings. The Peabody Corporation was now focused on funding and developing programs solely based in the United States that encompassed three broad areas: Arts, Culture, & Social Justice.  Peabody Corporation headquarters was based in New York City with a soon to be opened branch in Los Angeles.   After the meetings Peggy and Helena went their separate ways to pack and prepare for their flight to New York.  However Peggy was having second thoughts about her plans for Helena especially after the conversation with Bette earlier in the day. She’d picked up the phone and called her personal attorney Bruce Cohen soon after.

    Peggy wasn’t naïve. She knew that no matter what she did she couldn’t control or curtail Helena’s behavior. She knew that as soon as Helena acclimated to living in the United States she would manage to find the seedy elements. Being in the midst of the sometimes unscrupulous Hollywood scene she would likely find it sooner rather than later. To Bette’s point putting Helena into that environment wasn’t exactly on the path to morality. Peggy had also placed Bette in a very vulnerable position by exposing her to Helena’s wrath. She knew full well what Helena was capable of should she follow through on her threat to disinherit her daughter and leave her entire legacy to Bette Porter. The dejected mother was so focused on curbing Helena’s bad behavior that she didn’t realize that her decisions and actions were more to everyone’s detriment than any benefit that would come from it.

    She came to the painful realization that it was time to let go. Helena was a grown woman perfectly capable of making her own decisions. Good, bad or indifferent Peggy had to cut the apron strings. She had to give Helena the freedom to make her own decisions. She had to give her the experience to live with the consequences of her choices.  Hours before the flight that would take them to New York was scheduled to leave London Peggy called Helena and invited her to the house. It was time for them to have a heart to heart talk instead of the battle of wills which had always been the way they communicated. When Helena arrived for this impromptu visit she couldn’t fathom what it was about. When they were comfortably settled into one of the many sitting areas of the Peabody mansion Peggy began to speak.

    1. This Helena seems to be more than arrogant and selfish. She seems to be a sociopath. And one with money to wreak havoc on others w/o any consequences unless she runs out of funds. She’ll probably want to destroy Bette b/c of sheer jealousy that Bette has her mother’s heart. Sickos like Helena aren’t happy and don’t want others to be happy either.

    2. Wow. it was a really deep section, full of emotions.
      I think Pegg last attempt to get closer to her daughter was really sad.
      Helena is a true sociopath Well that says it all. and unfortunately there is truth, the way she treated people well in the show …
      very few writers were able to characterize her a kind and caring woman worthy of love, which is a pity.
      I’m like the rest of us. I feel that Helena will be wrong Bette’s life. I hope we’re wrong!

    3. I don’t for one minute believe Helena is just going to let Bette take what she believes is hers im sorry but look out bette Helena is going to be on the war path pps.

    4. Phew! Peggy said everything I had to say for your daughter, and I don’t trust Helena, I don’t think she’s going to let Bette receive the attention of Peggy.
      Grand chapter.

    5. Gosh, you have written Helena just as she is, the cold-hearted, treacherous bitch that she has become. I can’t imagine anyone doing the things that Peggy enumerated and think that her father betrayed her by not destroying the documents. Maybe one day she will discover just what she has done to everyone, hopefully she will discover this before she is physically hurt or put in jail for being the miscreant she has become. Feel sorry for Peggy and anyone else that she becomes involved with in the future because she does not think she has done anything wrong to anyone and she will continue to live the way she been doing and continue to do the things to other women that she has in the past. Hopefully when she encounters Bette she will not be able to hurt her. This is a great story. Enjoying it.
