.Severance. 2x4

WTF NO WAY THIS HAPPENED

Comments

are you going to comment that under each severance reaction

Amna 🍉

if you can turn the volume up on the show or turn your voices down just a little bit please and thanks

Ernesto Blanco

Dylan's mouth every episode: 👁️0👁️

Ron Jackson Jr

This was a really nice way of changing up the setting from the office

Eiden Porter

Cannon's face at the jump scare is priceless

Eiden Porter

There is also the fact which mark got told about. That the innie and outie are basically the same person, they laugh at the same jokes and wear the same haircut etc. That being said, i think hellys personality is helenas real personality, because she has no recollection of her bad dad and her "trauma" to repeat the 9 core principles and so on. So i think Helly is who helena would have become, if she didnt went through that kier bullshit. Hope its understanable what im trying to say.

Apalexas

Yes that's exactly what made me think this, all signs point to that being a reintegration experience, especially now. I also thought the logical conclusion with his inny (innie?) being canned would be reghabi stepping in to recruit him, but evidence of his outy sleuthing, implies he might already be in with Reghabi. We might come back to him making a reveal of his own about being a mole the whole time, and I kind of wouldn't be surprised if Milichick has already suspected as much.

UnKay

Damn my editor brain is messing with me too because I would like to say I did that on purpose but that definitely was a accident

Alan

But...you said Oscar, what are you doing to me?! Lmao 🤣 Now I feel like it said Grammy and that's why I read Emmy, but by the time I wrote my comment you changed it to Oscar? No wonder I'm confused. Also I'm definitely not giving you a hard time, I just find it all wildly amusing. 😊

UnKay

They don't want him to sound like him though, they're now utilizing him as propaganda for innies and company.

UnKay

Yeah she seems to put on a people pleasing mask to cope with the unwavering expectations from her father and everyone around her, relatable lol. Will the integration procedure work naturally through Helena trying so desperately to reconcile with the extreme conflict within herself? Great theory.

UnKay

This seems plausible. I wrote something similar the other day. What Id like to add here, and what your post made me think of, is that it would be interesting if Helena and Helly experienced some form of "integration" but in a different, more organic, natural manner, bypassing the Lumon tech in their brain. We are basically shown Helena becoming more and more like Helly, for several reasons. She wants to get closer to Mark to experience affection she never seemed to get from her father, and in the process of doing so she is becoming less and less like the cold, distant Helena, while taking on more traits of her innie self - Helly. And so, ironically, Helena, starting out as a mole character might actually become a traitor to her own cause. It will happen, I am sure of it! She could just be the character to prove how innies are never and will never be completely different people than their outie counterparts, because at some core level Lumon can never actually COMPLETELY separate, or "SEVER" all memories entirely. We have already seen examples like Irv where he remembers through his paintings, so obviously Severance isnt as perfect a procedure as Lumon might want. Other obvious examples are therapy sessions innies have where they are comforted by being told what their outies are like - why would they even have any reaction other than being indifferent to what their outies are like, unless they STILL have some connection to themselves? So yeah, Severance is far from perfect. And this is probably Lumon's biggest problem in this show - this also feels to me like Cobel's biggest motivation. She seemed to always show the most frustration when innies show strong emotional reaction or connection to something related to their outies, which implies Severance isnt working as she might hope it would.

Mysterious Figure

just seeing the tweet now damn!

Ron Jackson Jr

SZA watches Severence god damn!

Ron Jackson Jr

damn good theory bro u are cooking this theory but damn I didn't know her name was Helena

Ron Jackson Jr

Yes. Looks similar to the man in the suit that was watching mark in the hallway.

Anya

Yes, I believe he was sent in as a mole or was going through reintegration. He could be in contact with Reghabi. Maybe he's one of them that she "got better" with reintegration. Now I'm wondering if him seeing the paint in s1 was light reintegration signs. I wonder how long they'll fill in his spot. I feel like they'll always need four workers...

Anya

I’m making a prediction and I think I’m cooking. I think that the way that they are finally able to get Gemma out of the Lumon dungeons is through Helena. She said to mark that she doesn’t like who she was on the outside, that could’ve been a manipulation to try to cover for the gardener shit but I think that’s Helena’s genuine feelings. It also doesn’t feel like Helena is completely bought into the whole Eaganism cult bs the same way say Milcheck and Cobel are. The laughing at the book is the only concrete evidence that I can think of now which could’ve been an act but I don’t think so. I also think that she was gaining feelings for mark through the whole mole experience because it doesn’t seem like she got much affection from her dad just from what we know about how their interactions happened. A few points on this - He/the board didn’t know she had almost died in the elevator in season 1 until a certain point that’s when Cobel got in trouble. - That means that Helena didn’t tell HER FATHER that she almost died. - Mr. Eagan said “thank you for doing this” to her in the bathroom hinting that she was doing it to help him out. You could argue that she was doing it for the company, but I think her main deep character drive is pleasing her dad. - in her little video speech she talked about the having to say the core principles every night before bed and not always being happy about doing that kind of as a joke but there’s more there it feels like. She also obsessed over the kiss between mark and helly when rewatching the tapes. Or at the very least was taken aback by it. That very well could’ve been her first kiss. It seems that she’s devoted most of her energy to Lumon and doesn’t have much of a life out of it. So time to cook. Helena is doing all of this, not for the company, because she craves the approval of her father because she’s experienced a lack of it in her life. She goes to the severed floor and experiences the connection with Mark partially as a mole but partially because she wants human affection. She’s started to show she actually cares for mark. She’s being vulnerable with him in the tent, calling his name when she was being dragged by Irv, etc. so these feelings eventually escalate over time to a point where she’s put in a position to do what mark wants and what he wants is to save Gemma. Also in terms of storytelling I think that would be a very unique way to tie it all together. And who else would have the power to accomplish all of this narratively.

Alan

Interesting juxtaposition if his outie has already been on the case against them. Has he already been going through the integration process long before this? Is it now complete? They *almost* perfected propagandizing Irv's innie toward the company cause, so this has got to be a major fail/possible set back to their ultimate goals? 🤷🏾‍♀️

UnKay

Honestly I knew I was wrong but I watched this at like 1 am and couldn’t think of the word for it so I just said Grammy to get the point across. Potato tomato

Alan

That too but she was in panic mode atm so idk. I think she called out to the person she relies on most. I think during the manipulation she started developing feelings of her own

Alan

The rebelliousness of Helly is Helena's deepest desire under her circumstances.

UnKay

I had to look back at which comment you replied to because I swore I saw Emmy. Sometimes my editor brain edits as I'm reading others words too I guess. Trippy.

UnKay

The number of popular shows over the decades that weren't well received right away would shock these days.

UnKay

Am I nuts or did they name it “scissor cave” to shout out SZA cause she loves severance and Ben stiller loves her

Jmann

I was so scared during dream sequence, like the whole episode was eerie, but that little woe girl was very creepy. And people were suggesting you to watch Haunting on the hill house, from what I know it is very scary, my 30 year old colleague said he stopped watching it cause how creeped out he was. I will not be joining that watch, my scary tolerance is very low haha

S Moonchild

There's a baby Kier in the intro... I'm betting Helly is preggers now.

Gilded Jackal

Also agree!

Thuy aka EroSennin

At the end of the episode, Irving tells Dylan to "Hang in there". We saw in the first episode of season 2 a poster that said "Hang in There" in the break room. I'm guessing Irving hid a message/map/something related to the "exports" elevator behind that poster.

Brady

Agreed. That would be so fun😂

Sissy Six

I would be so happy if they watch Hill house at some point 😭

Frida BØ

IRV IS MY GOOOAAAAT

notchrisramirez

Brig, that jacket is drippy

Dami

ive thought about that as well but these ep's version seem more life-like than those ate perpetuity wing

chloe s.

🤓

Charles Hesketh

Those were animatronics. Remember how freckles said in episode 1 of season 2 that her old branch had animatronics of kier and past ceos in their perpetuity wing

Charles Hesketh

I don't think I can forgive myself at the beginning for thinking this episode wouldn't cook.

Animeke

and 100% convinced now that cold harbor is cloning people as we literally saw clones of the 4 of them in this episode

chloe s.

i agree. like her comment about dieter's dick was really helena's opinion lol. and when she made that ice seal for irv was not her trying to act like helly. she sounded genuinely sorry during that confrontation with irv

chloe s.

irv's last words to dylan was definitely some sort of secret message cos "hang in there" is not something irv would say i think but let's see

chloe s.

the elevator ding feels like the trigger to switch between outies and innies. i cant remember if this happens in s1, i need to go watch and confirm. but early this s2, we heard dings for everyone except helly when they went down to the severed floor. this epi we heard that ding when helly switched back but we never heard that ding when mr milchick fired/killed irv so it's really plausible he is reintegrated

chloe s.

irving's character development is so well-written. from revering the eagans to almost killing one. aaaaaahh i love show so much

chloe s.

Lol if they got this scared by that jumpscare we're gonna need some horror movie and/or hill house reactions

Brady

Irv is 100% reintegrated, just based on his vocabulary, some of the things he says only an outtie would know, so hopefully when milchick changes him back to his outtie nothing happens

Caleb

The way you all got scared from this tells me everything I need to know that you will all love hunting of hill house!!!

TVGirl

Or it's his shadow self being manifested for the story.

Zess

To be fair on your last comment there, you used to say some pretty toxic shit in these comment sections lol you've chilled out though since then.

Zess

His shadow self that often gets referred to being in the forest when talking about that theory from Jung.

Zess

It would be an Emmy considering the fact that this is a tv show and not a movie

Jada

I will forgive them for not doing the intro this episode cuz it cooked

Anton Sakshaug

What a fantastic episode. I had to rewind all of you screaming a couple times. Actually hilarious.

Jacob Zamora

Besides the next level acting, cinematography, sound design and mind boggling plot, the editing in this show is so effective and fits the storytelling so well! the way they transition from scene to scene and seamlessly blend in a few different pov's... man you could tell this show is a passion project of many creative minds 🔥🔥🔥

Goat

That's a crazy non-spoilery spoiler to put in there omg

Goat

What an original, well writen, perfectly acted, beautifully shot episode. This show is putting a fight to enter my top 3

JulioLG

You smug MF <3 Irv is a legend!

JulioLG

Mark: “I don’t care who you are on the outside. I love the you that you are right now” CRAZYYYYYYYY thing to say 😭

Sanji

Ain't that deep man I swear it

snoobcat

Huh wdym 😭? What to gatekeep?

Kim555

The first half of the episode was weird, but the second half was CRAZY! and yes, I was 51% sure that it was Helly, and 49% sure that it was Helly. I conceived that replacing Helly with Helena would have made the plot more interesting and twisting, but on the other hand, they would have fooled everyone if Haley had turned out to be herself And I’m pretty sure what Helena/Mark thing is real! Who know what her life was like in such a family? Maybe it was the first time she could freely develop a relationship with someone she had feelings for?🤷🏻‍♀️

Vlad Lena

Shhh, dont be spilling the beans. GATEKEEP

jblakk

in hindsight, it made sense that it's Helena all along since Lumon won't risk on the chance that Helly would tell them everything about her outie.

neko

He is such a gem. The absolute stank he put on that “Seth” was soooo satisfying.

Sissy Six

@Pulse Imagine having something to say about what Ive actually said instead of talking about me. Its literally my whole experience on this Patreon comment section in the last two years. It is really disappointing.

Mysterious Figure

#1 schizo poster

Pulse rifles suck in pve

THIS WAS CRAZY

Pavlo

I really appreciate the honesty in your reactions. So I hope you keep your honest thoughts throughout, and dont feel the need to cut any of those out as we have seen in that Alice in Borderland Brig comment cut. I dont really care about any other type of cuts and edits other than the ones that discredit your authenticity, for which I appreciate you guys most.

Mysterious Figure

Ahhh yeah good theory

Jackson Carter

Oh damn. Good thing yall notice things like that. I got a flashback to AOT s1 finale missing footage 💀

Kim555

Lots of the time we are calling out our patreon because we want people to go check it out as well!

Jackson Carter

The camera almost died we had to switch the battery

Cannon Andrus

My fav hat

Brig Andrus

🤣

Brig Andrus

Mysterious figure. The raw unedited footage is referring to anything inside the episode. Of course intros and outros are going to be cut.

Cannon Andrus

Guys, the sales pitch has really become a meme at this point. All of your reactions being "raw, uncut, unedited"... and as you are saying that, edits happen seconds before and after... I get why you are doing it, I really do. Its how youtube works. But there is also a way to do it and not make people feel stupid. Not to mention, in the last episode of Season 1 of Alice in Borderland, Brig was about to give some of his criticism about the show, but he was literally cut MID sentence by your edit - WHY? I really dont see why you would feel the need to censor anything you guys say after how direct you were during all of GOT episodes. Thats what I personally appreciate and why I like you guys. I dont have a problem with edits and cuts, but at this point it really sounds silly when you keep repeating your sales pitch to us as if we are blind and stupid, since there are plenty of stuff you cut and edit out, and not all of those are interruptions and phone calls etc. So, every time you give the obligatory sales pitch it feels like Im being sold a cheap commercial. And especially after that Brig edit, Im now not even sure how much of yourselves you guys pulled back or censored, which makes me sad. Cant you just say, our FULL COMPLETE versions are on patreon or something similar that is actually true? I feel like that sounds cool too. Ofc, you do you. These are just thoughts from someone that liked and supported your guys' authenticity since day one.

Mysterious Figure

Mckay didn't even blink lol

Yusuf

YESSIRRRRR WE CALLED DAT SHI

lololol

Are you guys gonna watch Invincible Season 3?

“You’re telling me this is 270” and immediately I know it’s Luka in that ugly ass yellow Lakers jersey lol

I have apple tv free trial on the tv 🧍 too lazy to check few seconds

Kim555

😂

Ron Jackson Jr

I was so confused like which Helen

Ron Jackson Jr

Dev my goat 🐐

Ron Jackson Jr

Yeah he really likes modelling that’s dope

Ron Jackson Jr

Maybe dieter is another side of Keir - they could be the same person and keir cast aside the ‘evil parts’ of himself (dieter) like an early version of severance. There was a line about them being together forever in the ethereal mill or something

Pats

Girl just watch the full ep on soap2day its free 😭

Huh

He was actually modeling with mads mikkelsen 🧎‍♀️lumon knows about the dilfs

Huh

Alo needs to pay Brig atp for all the free promo lol

Ron

Now what did yall skip at 36:06 😭? Cause I watch the episodes raw on patreon

Kim555

I find the twin talk interesting. When you get severed you essentially create a twin of yourself, just sharing the same body. I wonder what experiment Lumen is trying to do with Gemma and Mark that ties in with the Eagens. Cobel was bringing in outside stuff to see if it would trigger memories between them. Is Dieter just Kier's severed twin? Is that why he was gooning in front of him lol. I don't know this show is existential af

SuperChuckABoo

Why are we still debating if it’s Helly R. 😭😭 that’s obviously Helena. Helly R. haven’t seen them since she was outside, otherwise she would’ve told them everything immediately

Kim555

the dangling ice hands might mean a cold handed puppeteers pulling the strings ( maybe all the outies are in on it ? maybe they themselves are their own puppeteers)

Stefan

53:35 in the first episode they said on the news an innie got pregnant and found out as an outie

Thane Clark

41:50 i’ve NEVER seen you all jump like that 😭

Thane Clark

Apparently the numbers on the computer in Irving's dream showed Eagan and Helly's face, which is how Irving got onto the theory that she was an Eagan (besides already being suspicious and knowing she wasn't Helly based off her being cruel to him) Your guy's reaction to that jumpscare was hilarious haha, maybe y'all should film a reaction to a horror movie. I really doubt innie Irving is permanently gone, although I doubt we will be seeing him for the near future. It will be really interesting to see where this show goes. It's getting so messy with the whole Helena / Helly / Mark S. / Mark Scout / Gemma love pentagon and with them seeing Irving's innie essentially executed in front of them. This show is seriously peak.

James Moss

ok so Kier Eagan definitely murdered his own twin brother by drowning him at Woe's Hollow and then wrote about it poetically to make it sound like he was just magically turned into a tree for whacking it, right? that story sus as hell.

emma.bean

I think you’re on to something with the thieving nanny but I don’t think wrote it, it’s too soon from last episode and I don’t think that kier story sounded like him

Andrew Lynch

the look Helena gave Irving in the tent certainly had malice written on it

Seth Aasland

DO IT SETH

Andrew Lynch

This episode is such a banger genuinely tell all your friends to get on severance people even though it’s getting more popular it’s still so underrated for how good this is. Like besides how crazy the plot is, the cinematography and sound design on this show are so fricking good like the show is so rewatchable

Andrew Lynch

Lmao Solo Leveling S2 was my exact first thought too lol. (also crazy episode this show is so freaking good, the last sequence was intense af)

James Moss

OH MY GOD the video of the Macrodata uprising had a frame where Helly's head was in the water and Irv was behind her: https://imgur.com/a/YJbvcqv

C2-H5-OH

OH NOOOOO! The baby in the opening credits might be the baby Mark and Helly/Helana just made!!!

jblakk

Also the attention to detail and the Easter eggs in this show.. the gift that keeps on giving. Like last episode Dylan’s wife was dressed EXACTLY like Pam from the art show episode of The Office, down to her necklace and hair, and even the shot of them hugging mirrored the shot of Pam hugging Michael… and people noticed that Helly, Irv, & Dylan’s locker numbers are all numbers from the iconic Lost sequence of numbers. Cute little hat tips. But the stuff you can find and the rabbit holes you can go down with this show are endless. I just can’t help but geek out about this show man.

Sissy Six

Holy shit what a thought whoa :o

jared

Irv my goat

Dev

Holy shit I just realised, the next chapter in the book called "Kier and the Thieving Nanny" is about Cobel, and the whole book is probably written by Ricken like that lady from Lumen was asking him to

C2-H5-OH

I think she is very manipulative tbh and knew mark was under her thumb

Agent September 🏴‍☠️

All the actors in this show are incredible, especially the ones that have to perform as two different versions of the same character with innies and outies, but I have to give extra flowers to Britt Lower here. Her Helena in contrast to Helly was already so impressive but then to have to go a level deeper and play Helena pretending to be Helly.. the nuance with which she did that is really pretty incredible.

Sissy Six

That one scene with the ghost bride where you all screamed confirmed it: Studio Gek HAS TO react to something in the horror genre. Maybe Haunting of the Hill House. It will be PEAK

C2-H5-OH

Same! I turn into Stone Cold Steve Austin watching this show! 🤣🤣

Anya

Always the best defiant lines! Simple words spoken with such emphasis! Idk what's better that or "let's burn this place to the ground" 🔥🔥

Anya

Are you guys doing an invincible season 3 reaction?

DownstairsRug

Also I think it’s interesting how Helena calls for mark instead of Mr milcheck

Alan

😭bruh the last thing Helly heard was that her friends would suffer for her actions bc of the speech and she just wakes up to irving getting 💀

Calen L

please watch the glory. it's k-drama

Owen

“YES… DO IT SETH” 🔥

Sissy Six

You should have listened to Irving you rat

Ron Jackson Jr

facts bro

Ron Jackson Jr

So, no wonder Irving wasn't there to promote the severance opening with Ben Stiller

Ron Jackson Jr

fk even ur name is Seth

Ron Jackson Jr

LET IRVING COOK BRO! FCK SETH

Ron Jackson Jr

Had all of us second guessing

Alan

Dude the subtle facial expressions between Irv and Helena this episode where mmmmmwah chefs kiss. If Helly doesn’t get an Oscar for this episode they’re dropping the damn bag

Alan

Their pseudo counterparts could be early prototype, projections, or animatronics. Optics and Design did have 3d printers🤔

Anya

I think Helena is speaking from the heart. She's experiencing a life of her own. I bet there were expectations of her since birth. I'm sure she had no choice but to continue on the Eagan philosophy. She probably feels freedom. Throw in camaraderie too. Since she's so high up I don't think she has genuine friends out there.

Anya

Irv COOKED

ahmad

Irving taming his own temper of woe. Such a well written character. He was the one "drinking the kool-aid" of Lumon and now he sees through all their bs. I hope he does team up with outie Mark to burn that place to the ground. His "Yes, do it Seth" was said with such loathing I loved it! 🤣😂

Anya

Irving is definitely my favorite character! This episode solidified it! And honestly this was my favorite episode of this season so far.

GreetswithJudgement

I love Irving so much. My favorite character, next to Devon.

Elle B.

Burt in the forest gave me Sleepy Hollow vibes🌑😨

Anya

I was wearing airpods! 😭

Anya

This is why I need them to watch The Haunting of Hill House. Lol

Elle B.

Y’all did not just scream like that 😂 We need to watch more horror on this channel lol

GreetswithJudgement

Everyone freaks out and your just chilling 🤣🤣🤣

Alex

Seth really sucks dude

Seth Aasland

I didn’t even notice :o

Desiree Retterath

I don’t think I’ve ever said “WHAT IS HAPPENING”, “WHAT?!” etcetera aloud so many times watching an episode of tv as I did during this episode lol. I love this show so much.

If it’s a no intro episode that’s how you know to lock in
