When Helena is given a four match suspension for pushing an opponent’s coach during a game, Helena must decide if she wants to appeal the decision or stay quiet and let Michael take control of the team for a month. The problem is an appeal would need
Helena to explain that the coach she shoved put his hand between her legs and groped
her. Helena wants to stay out of the headlines at a time where she finally has earned
respect as a coach, but her position is fragile and a story like this could turn everything
on its head. When Camilla is disappointed in Helena’s lack of action and Michael
positions himself for the coaching job in Helena’s absence, Helena is forced to go public with her accusations and have the ban retracted. But as Helena takes back her rightful place on the sidelines, the media goes rampant with her story, and as doubts about the truthfulness of her accusations spread in the locker room Helena discovers what she always feared, that the story might have been best left buried.
