No, Dick's still able to work with Helena, even if he doesn't like to.
Blockbuster's right that Dick values other people more than he values himself. What he'll have to do to get past this, I think, is to find a center that's about *him.* Right now, he's just violated the center of his own moral code, and he's lost so many of the people he cares about, so you're right that it'll take him a while to see Catalina for who she really is. But I think part of that will have to be his being willing and able to stand alone, to actively reject the last person who he sees as being willing to embrace him, before he can come back to the healthier relationships with his co-workers and Babs and even Bruce. (Note I said healthiER, not healthy!)
Gotta run, so let me know if any of this was written too quickly to follow.
