Locke did the the Toad thing, he forgave his father, and he went for the money. Overall double whammy, he gets his JC points and he gets a boat load of cash (no pun intended). But Helen cuts the legs from underneath him the next second (NO PUN INTENDED AGAIN). She did the wrong thing, Locke was right to pursue forgiving someone, his reward was the cash.

Helen needed to look at Locke for who he was, a good person.
