The way I handwave it is that he was canonically with Helena before, just kind of glommed on to Hermia for some reason, so the love pollen actually rekindled his love for Helena. Doesn't make him less of a dick for ditching her in the first place, but at least what he feels for Helena is real-ish.
Different flavors of the same joke, all with her as the butt of it, seems like. Man after man with his life all figured out, and the silly stupid woman still floundering alone. Until Chris Evans comes along and helps her out. THUMBS UP. WAY UP.
