Answer: There was a deleted scene after the women apologise to each other. Madeline grabs the African necklace from a bust, Helen gets very upset, rips out the shovel handle and throws it to the ground. She expresses that she can't believe she wasted years and years hating Madeline, and now it all feels hollow. Madeline tells her to calm down a bit and gives Helen a glass of water. Helen drinks it, and it goes right through her, upsetting her even more. Then Madeline realises they need Ernest. In the original ending, one of the first things we see is Helen drinking coffee, so somehow she was totally fine after Ernest fixed her.

Question: When Helen and Madelin are fighting with the shovels, Helen whacks off the end of Madelin's shovel, and then Madelin throws the stick through Helen. How did they achieve this effect?
Chosen answer: CGI, just like any other difficult effect.
Chosen answer: He most likely filled it with something soft, then covered it. You'll notice the lingerie she is wearing completely covers her midsection.
