Nothing gripped me and sucked me in like Dark

The words Ulrich spoke to young Helge this episode are the exact words old Helge spoke to Ulrich when he was questioning old Helge in the care home. Was it any wonder old Helge was so upset there? He was being manhandled by the same man who bashed his head in 66 years ago. A memory that surely must stand out in the haze of his dementia. Old Helge in the care home nearly got a heart attack when he woke up to Ulrich leaning in on him, and if you watch that moment again he pretty much says "I know who you are." at that moment while his heart starts to race in panic. Dementia or not, he would remember being a kid and almost beaten to death by that face. Dates on the wall in episode 7th most likely is like a log of time travels/body dumps. Similarly to the book that Peter and Tronte (Ulrich's father) had in the bunker, when Jonas traveled to or from 1986 and when lights start to flicker. I really like how in this (8th) episode Ulrich sees Helge being bullied by other kids, and Ulrich suggests Helge to bite them. And at the end of the episode, when Ulrich grabs Helge, he bites him. I also like how Ulrich follows old Helge in episode 7th to the caves, and in episode 8th he tries to murder young Helge. In other words, old Helge accidentally lead Ulrich to find young Helge and make him the way he has become. In episode 2 or 3 you can see Helge drag Erik's body through the forest. At the time we were led believe that this was in 2019 or 1986 but it was in 1953. Both episodes depict November 5th. In episode 7 you can see Helge drag Yasin's body from the bunker while Noah cleans the floor. That is November 9th. And when you say accidentally you probably meant inevitably...
