Spoilers ahead forSeveranceseason two, through episode eight, Sweet Vitriol.
Viewers who thought,Oh yeah, whereisMs.

At the same time, she wants Helena to see that genius.
Could you break down the breathing-tube scene?

Its so bleak and cold, and it reveals the damage left behind by the earlier iteration of Lumon.Yes!
