Severance (Season 1) Ending Explained
It’s up to Dylan to keep Mark, Helly, and Irving from seeing the truth as their outcasts at Lumon. At first, Mark is perplexed when he discovers himself in his sister’s bed, hugging his boss. Then, Ricken tells him about his wife’s death. The picture of his wife in the house makes him realize that it’s Ms. Kesey from Lumon, though he didn’t know that at first. He tells his sister that his boss, Harmony, is in her house while telling her about Lumon’s cruelty. She and Mark rush out to find Selvig, who turns out to be a Lumon employee.
An oil painting on the wall of Irving’s apartment reveals his military past and a list of Lumon’s employees. Helena Eagen, the daughter of James Eagen, wakes up at a Lumon industry gala and discovers her true identity. Because of the severance procedure, she willingly learned about her outie’s departure.
A strange thing is afoot, as Mark’s lack of recollection gives Harmony some cause to wonder. Immediately, she flees the house and calls Milchick to alert him to the possibility of an intrusion into her privacy. Then, she drives to the gala’s location to prevent Helly’s innie from disclosing any information about their work lives. On the other hand, Helly is unafraid to speak out about the abuse she has suffered at the hands of Luman. Dylan, meanwhile, is unable to keep a firm grip on the lever. Towards the end of the episode, we see outie almost reverting to their pre-severance lives.
One of the best finales as a tightly-knit, edge-of-the-seat thrill ride is the 9th episode. As a result of the ending, more questions than answers are left open. A cliffhanger season finale only heightens the anticipation for what lies ahead. Mark, Helly, and Irving’s realizations and increased awareness of the outside world will yield exciting results in the upcoming season. The emotional climax at the film’s conclusion serves as a hint.
5 Questions Severance Season 2 Must Answer
What is Lumon’s purpose in Severance Appe+ TV Series?
What these characters do for a living remains one of the show’s greatest mysteries. Even the main characters are baffled as to what they’re up to. In what way are these numbers “scary” to you? What happens if they’re taken out of the picture? What are the consequences in the real world? Is it all one giant Sudoku???
How did Gemma/Ms. Casey managed to survive for so long?
The late wife of Mark (Adam Scott) is still alive at the end of the season, one of the more shocking revelations. …and all the while, I was working at Lumon??! After her car slammed into a tree, was her body ever found? Her innie life has only lasted 107 hours, which we’ll get into more detail about in a second. So what will become of her in the next minutes and hours?
What was it about Devon’s baby that piqued Ms. Cobel’s interest?
Midway through the season, Mark’s sister’s… breastfeeding coach, Ms. Cobel/Ms. Selvig (Patricia Arquette) gets even closer to him. This information was not well received in Lumon. In the absence of Mark, why does she still want to be in the baby’s vicinity? What does she have to accomplish? In the finale, didn’t you think she kidnapped the kid? STRESS!!!
I’m curious about what those O&D ideographic cards are.
A laminated card of a Warrior 2 pose is slid into a friend’s solar plexus by Dylan (Zach Cherry) while the group is visiting the Optics and Design department. What is the purpose of these cards, and why are they there? What are these cards for? These actions don’t look like they will make things any easier! The question is whether or not they’re teaching people to fight. What if it’s just a form of high-intensity contact yoga?
With regard to the goats, what is going on?
ANSWERS ARE NEEDED IMMEDIATELY!! These sweet angels must be going through some hell. Why is this guy in a suit looking after them? What exactly are they ill-prepared for? IT HAS TO BE A PLEASANT THING! Like soaking in a tub of bubbly or getting goats to massage you! We must do everything we can to protect them!
Most importantly, why were there so many goats in the first place.
Severance Season 2 Theories
There are many unanswered questions at the end of Season 1 of Severance, including what exactly Lumon does. Several theories have been floated, including the idea that working at Lumon is equivalent to serving time in prison, that Mark and his team are preparing for severance operations, and that Lumon is a cult that they are bidding for. However, one Redditor believes that their work isn’t accurate at all. Instead, THE USER CLAIMS THAT an AI uses Lumon employees’ bodies to learn human feelings of fear and anxiety. Then, like Ms. Casey, they’ll be given a permanent inn job that Lumon needs them to do.
Another theory about the severance process came to light at the end of the season. During Dylan’s time in the security room, there was a brief display on the control screen of other protocols besides the Overtime Contingency, such as Beehive, Branch Transfer, and Clean Slate, as well as the Elephant, Freeze Frame, and Glasgow. Lumon appears to be capable of far more than just severing the memories of their severed employees, even if the specifics of these processes remain a mystery.
Harmony’s allegiances aren’t entirely clear beyond that. However, she does not only want to keep things hidden from corporate but also from Mark and the rest of his team. Her Lumon shrine also has a strange bracelet with the date 3/17/44 written on it, which she has been seen cradling in her hands. Pure Wow hypothesizes that Harmony’s mother, Charlotte Cobel, was injured in an accident and then severed like Gemma before becoming Ms. Casey, and the bracelet bears her name. Possibly, Harmony is using Gemma as a case study to see if severed innies can remember their outie lives, which would allow her to find her mother. As a result, it is easy to see why Harmony is so adamant about getting back into society.
Conclusion – My Favorite Severance Season 1 Ending Moments
If most of the other shows I’ve watched had done this, it would’ve irritated me at the very least. But, as a result, I felt like it was fair play at the end of the season.
When it comes to the story, I believe it comes down to the feeling of being “satisfied.” After everything that has transpired, I think I deserve a break. I’m in desperate need of more. So I’m lovely with taking a break before the next season to reflect on the events of season 1.
