Get everything you need to know about Season 5 of New Amsterdam & Helen Sharpe’s story!
What transpired with Dr. Helen Sharpe during Season 5 of New Amsterdam? We are aware that this was a common query before the premiere.
Did we receive the answers we sought? That part of the story, however, might be in question for a while.
Truthfully, it’s difficult to pinpoint Helen’s reasons for not marrying Max, largely because she doesn’t seem to understand them.
She simply had a realization, which might have been the result of several factors coming together. There doesn’t appear to have been a single major event that led to her being in this situation, based on what we’ve seen so far in this episode.

It wouldn’t make sense for the show to proceed by implying that she is hiding something sinister from Max because we don’t tend to believe that. Just not in her character, would it?
Though we say this knowing very well already that Freema is leaving the show and won’t be around all that much, we hope that Ryan Eggold and Freema Agyeman’s characters at least have some conversations about all of this in the premiere.
If they can solve this problem, communication may be the only way they can do it.
Is it still possible for this relationship to succeed? That may be the underlying theme of a lot of what we witness unfolding.
Iggy’s advice to Max in this episode that he must look within if he truly wants to find all the answers may serve as the starting point for everything.
