Welp, there goes the theory about Helena being down there.

Wonder what the Cold Harbor thing is?

I dunno, does that really put that issue to bed. Helena is high up enough to disable her implant, and likely without anyone else knowing.

You know what, I started typing out the reasons why this wouldn't be the case. But - that segment where she kept replaying the kiss with Mark S. Her taped confession where at the end she looked exhausted. Her strange dynamic with her dad where he was impersonal and happy before her speech and then gave that aggressive and weird insult after.

They also had the whole Petey storyline that didn't really payoff in season one, especially with that woman who Mark met once and was never seen again. Maybe there really is something to that. (I haven't gone on the subreddit after this episode, so apologies if this has been discussed over there)

Yup. The only appointment television for me in Long, long time.

Great episode. A theory that my wife had after S1 that i think is still in play is that Irving joined Lumen to try and figure out what's going on/take them down from the inside.

He had the list of severed employees and his sneaking around certainly makes him suspicious.

I don't know if y'all noticed but in the scene where all of the outies are going back to the severed floor the elevator dings, implying that their innie has taken over. This happened for Mark, Dylan, and Irv. However, the ding never played for when Helena went to the severed floor. And her outie was very intrigued by the kiss her innie and Mark shared. I think that episode tied to lead us to the fact it's Helly and not Helena on the severed floor but it could be a misdirect. I think the theory that it's Helena down there is still alive

Man. I'm so glad they fleshed out both sides of OTC and gave that its poper weight! Feel like shows sometimes gloss over something like that.

Do the intros change every episode?

Like where they are going with Devon character. Like that actress. Dylan G is good for several laughs an episode. The interview was fantastic. Door prize.

Lol @ Lumon and their damn literal fruit baskets.

Who was Irv chattin up on the payphone? Hmmm

Gonna Frolic this weekend

The behind the scenes after the credits did mention Helena is likely jealous of how free Helly R looked in the video playback with Mark

This.

They never showed her "transitioning" on the elevator and we never heard the ding.

It's absolutely Helena on the severed floor, I'd bet damn near anything.

From a writing standpoint, having it be Helena maximizes the drama/tension/surprise element so much more than if it were Helly. And because this show is so incredibly well written, I'd be shocked if they chose to squelch that opportunity.

But yeah, big picture, this show is now well on its way to being the best "mystery box" series since Lost. And sure, Lost may have had more emotion, but what Severance lacks in that category it more than makes up for it in mind-****ery and the filmmaking, the latter of which is just impeccable. Every last shot feels so considered, and the world so incredibly distinct. If anything, it's easily the best-looking show on TV. Good thing it excels at literally everything else as well.

I had plans tonight and wasn't able to watch until after midnight, but I'm already jealous I wasn't able to start it the second it dropped. It really is turning into appointment viewing on the dot.
