There will be theories.
Many will be unhinged.
Like Harmony Cobel at multiple points in this episode,Severancestomped its foot on the gas pedal this week.
It didnt look like it was heading that way at first.
Mark and his sister devised a plot to sneak a message into the severed floor.
Dylans Innie met his Outies wife, which had to be weird for both of them.
Theres no going back from this point, at least as long as Marks reintegration procedure worked.
Im also thrilled to have met the goat people.
It was an exciting episode on a number of levels.
.Where is Mark at right now?
That should tell you where hes at emotionally, too.
Thats a lot for anyone to process.
Its also a fun thing to give a shot to explain to someone who doesnt watchSeverance.
Try it this week.
More importantly, for us at home if not Mark, what does this mean for him?
Did the procedure work as intended?
Reghabi claims she has it figured out a little more this time, but still.
Whats going to happen the next time Mark goes to Lumon and gets on that elevator?
This is fascinating to me.
The show just up and turned everything sideways on us.
Two things here that we can address separately.
(1) Cobel spent a lot of this episode almost doing things.
She started out fleeing town after the run-in with Mark at the end ofthe last episode.
Then she decided to turn around and go back.
(Making assumptions here, but its fun to picture.)
What does she know or think was going to happen?
Im not sure I would put anything past Lumon.
Imprison her and subject her to brain experiments?
Feed her to the goats?
Frankly, I dont see how we can rule it out.
This means that the Stone Roses, a real band from our universe, exists in the universe ofSeverance.
This raises the possibility that other bands and musicians from our universe exist on the show.
And that means Cobel probably has other cassettes to choose from in her car.
What else do you think she has in there?
I choose to believe she has at least one Pat Benatar album.
.Wait, are we getting a Milchick redemption arc?
I think we might be?
You saw his face when Natalie presented him with those paintings of a black Kier.
You saw him take those things and store them away in a closet out of sight and mind.
I dont think were there yet.
It could just as easily never happen.
But I thought I saw a sliver of doubt behind that glorious mustache of his this week.
This is a situation I will be monitoring closely.
.Is Natalie the most terrifying character on the show right now?
Thats some Grade-A villain stuff.
Yup, it was almost 40 whole seconds.
I went back and checked.
I was starting to get fidgety around ten seconds.
Then it kept going.
like imagine yourself in a Should we kiss?
No, no tongue.
Oh God, how long have we been standing here?
Is it weirder now if we dont kiss?
stalemate for almost a full minute.
I would probably just quit and find a new job.
That will be an exciting thing for reintegrated Mark to navigate going forward.
This leads me to two conclusions.
Part of me wishes he had landed that job at Great Doors.
.Why is the goat ladys desk just sitting there on the grass?
There are too many questions about the secret goat room staffed by weirdos who wear costumes.
I cant possibly wrap my head around it yet.
Iwill need more informationto even begin to formulate a theory on what is going on there.
I bet it wobbles a lot.
Imagine how much coffee she spills on her various goat-related paperwork.
No wonder shes so fried.
