As Season 2 of Severance goes on, Mark Scout, played by Adam Scott, is in the middle of a lot of new information. Mark, played by Dichen Lachman, is trying to find out the truth about his wife Gemma. In the most recent episode, there is a shocking turn of events that could change everything.
As seen in Episode 3, Mark’s Outie tries desperately to talk to his Innie by trying to burn the question “Who is alive?” into his retinas. This extreme action is because of Innie’s mysterious cry at the end of Season 1: “She’s alive!” This cry refers to Gemma, who Mark knows as Ms. Casey inside Lumon.
Just as Mark is about to hurt his eyesight, he is interrupted by Asal Reghabi, a former Lumon scientist played by Karen Aldridge. Reghabi had said before that he had implanted Mark’s chip and had also helped Mark’s late friend Petey with a dangerous reintegration procedure. Her sudden return changes everything.
Reghabi makes Mark get in his car and then drops the bomb: the last time they met, she saw Gemma alive inside Lumon. She offers to help Mark and says that reintegration, which means combining his Innie and Outie, is the only way to find out the truth and maybe get back together with his wife. Mark agrees, even though there are risks, and Reghabi starts the procedure at his house.
As Mark starts to get back into society, memories of his first day at Lumon and Petey’s haunting question, “Who are you?” come flooding back. There are fewer clear lines between his Innie and Outie, which suggests that he might have one self.
Fans are shocked by Reghabi’s return, but it also means trouble for Lumon. With her knowledge and drive, she could be the key to stopping the bad things the company is doing. But there is a lot at stake, especially since Petey’s reintegration ended in tragedy.
What happened in the Severance Season 2 Episode 3?
At the beginning of the episode, Cobel (Patricia Arquette) wakes up in her car, which is a hint at her ongoing personal problems. At the same time, Mark S. gets ready for another day at Lumon by carefully timing his change into his “innie” self. Once he gets inside, Mark is in charge of looking for Ms. Casey, the missing wellness counselor played by Dichen Lachman. He sends out missing-person flyers and tells his Macrodata Refinement (MDR) team to look into different departments. This is the first time the MDR team has worked together to push Lumon’s limits, showing how determined they are to find the truth.
Mark and Helly (Britt Lower) look around the mysterious goat room and find a secret doorway that leads to a strange landscape full of goats that is watched over by Lorne (Gwendoline Christie), a messy woman from the Mammalians Nurturable department. Irving (John Turturro), meanwhile, goes to Optics & Design (O&D) and finds out more about Burt (Christopher Walken) and clues about the strange hallway that his outie has been painting. Dylan’s (Zach Cherry) good behavior earns him a visit from Gretchen, his outie’s (Merritt Wever) wife, in the brand-new Outie Family Visitation Suite. Their awkward but sincere conversation shows more about Dylan’s flaws and the problems he faces in real life.
Also in this episode, Milchick’s (Tramell Tillman) promotion is shown through a strange gift he receives from the Lumon Board: a set of paintings that show founder Kier Eagan as Black. Milchick’s response isn’t clear, so it’s not clear how he really feels about the promotion. At the same time, Cobel confronts Helena Eagan (Britt Lower) in the parking lot and demands that she take control of MDR and get rid of Milchick. However, Eagan refuses to give in to her demands.
At the end of the episode, Mark has a very important moment. He meets Karen Aldridge as Dr. Reghabi after work. She tells him that his wife Gemma might still be alive at Lumon. Mark is shocked by this news, which makes him agree to reintegration, a process that could combine his in-and-out consciousnesses.
When the show is over, there are still questions. Gemma where are you? What is hidden in Lumon’s Cold Harbor? And what part does Helly play in the drama? As Mark and Reghabi fight Lumon in Season 2, things are sure to get more interesting. Fans can’t wait to see what happens next.
