There is a huge question ‘Severance’ fans have to think about in season 2

One thing Apple TV’s dystopian sci-fi series Resignation Is incredibly good to make the audience think. There is always a new mystery to loosen, some new details or scrap of lumon -lore to sille through. Each response gave birth to new questions. And if you have started to consider how this season can play out, you may have thought about the question I should already ask.

Spoilers follow.

One of the biggest, most shocking revelations in Season 1 is the fact that Mrs. Casey is actually Gemma Scout, Mark’s non-dead wife. Mark’s “Outie” has no idea she is alive and Mark’s “Innie” has no idea who Ms. Casey is actually to he and his employees hatch their overtime readiness (OTC) plan and “wake up” on the outside. It is on Devon and Ricken’s Party that Mark S. sees the picture of Mark and Gemma and shouts “She is alive!” Just before Mr. Milchick ends OTC and Mark Scout wake up again.

One of the biggest questions so far in Season 2 is what’s going on with Helly R. In the first episode, she lies for Mark S, Irving B and Dylan G about what happened to her during OTC. Is it because she is ashamed that she is actually Helena Egan? Or is she actually – as some have theorized – Helena, who acts as a mole, sent down to the cut floor to spy on Innies? I’m not sure how she would get around the severance technology, but if they have a way to wake up on innies from the cut floor, that’s why they would have a way to do the opposite on the cut floor.

In any case, all this stage case is for the big question I make you consider. Currently, the primary “quest” of both Mark Scout and Mark S is to find Gemma / Ms. Casey. Mark has learned that she lives and has to find a way to get to her. Mark S has learned that Mrs. Casey is his Outie’s wife, but since Lumon has closed the Wellness room and Mrs. Casey is not found, he is not sure how to move on.

The big question is this: What happens if and when they find and presumably save Mrs. Casey / Gemma? I say “presumably”, because if Lumon has her, they almost certainly have her 100% of the time. Unless she gets escaped and hides for her husband and lets the whole world think she’s dead, which seems unlikely. But we don’t know for sure.

For Outie Mark it would be great to find Gemma. He would be reunited with his wife, leave Lumon and never look back – or maybe make it his mission to reduce Lumon, as Gemma would have all the dirt needed to do just that. But for Mark’s Innie, the equation is very different. We know that Hans Innie and Helly R. have been romantically tangled.

Whether Helly R. In Season 2 is actually, Helly or Helena doesn’t really change that fact. For Mark S would find and save Mrs. Casey effectively mean that his life is over – as his chances of love with Helly R. What counts as a victory and a happy ending to half of Mark’s consciousness is a tragic end For others. Whatever happens, it’s hard to see how this results in a happy ending.

So who are you stuttering?
