Episode notes
Coincidence, Culture, And Twin Similarities
- Much twin similarity can reflect shared culture and demographic rather than mystical forces.
- Some coincidental matches look uncanny, but cultural explanations often suffice.

- Public portrayals polarize twin relationships as either idyllic or pathological.
- Most twin relationships fall between these extremes and mirror normal sibling complexity.

- Helena recalls dressing similarly with her sister because they liked the same things, not just to match.
- They sometimes leaned into twinness socially but resisted being forced to appear identical.
