A woman and a child approach Helen and inform her that she is "The Chosen One" to save the planet. What would you do?
Season 6 kicks off with a brand new look, new musical theme, and an amazing adventure for Helen and the crew. This is a screwball comedy serial, in which there are super powers and superior beings handing them out, possibly for the good of the planet. It all remains to be seen.
