Last week’s installment ofSeverancewas a major episode for everyone inside Lumon’s creepy halls.
“All I know is she’s essential,” Dr. Reghabi replies.
“Did everyone sever their balls in the elevator this morning?”

Helly exclaims, but Mark is too hungry for a retort.
Before Miss Huang can leave, Milchick turns in his chair and gets serious.
Her face drops, though she thanks him.

Mark finally fesses up to what Milchick had been threatening him with:“Helly, we shared vessels.
“Dylan has a hard time believing that since he’s always happy to be with her.
That she controls me, and this company, and all of us.

It’s disgusting.”
“Would you like that?”
“Yeah, I’d like that,” he shyly replies, “but how?”
We return to Milchick, who has finished paperclipping so many papers that his hands are shaking.
Rereading his performance review, he focuses on the criticism that he “uses too many big words.”
“You must eradicate from your essence childish folly.

You must eradicate from yourself childish folly.
You must abandon childish things,” he tells himself with increasing anger.
“You must grow up.

You must grow up.
“Each phrase becomes simpler and angrier before being reduced to repetitions of “Grow!”
“Was it different with me?”
Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.
After they go to get him examined by Miss Huang, she asks if Helly punched him.
“Not today,” Helly replies.
“Are you at Lumon or in your basement with me?”
Mark can’t remember.
Reghabi points out that the crossover memory is a good sign, especially such a recent one.
M + H = ?
Outside Lumon’s walls, Irving waits nervously in his car before his dinner date with Burt and Fields.
When he finally knocks on the door, Burt pretends not to know who Irving is… he kids!
“Nonsense,” Fields replies.
“What’s mine’s yours,“he says, before peering over to Burt.
As the three sit down for dinner,Burt curiously explains that Jesus led him to Lumon.
While they’re having this conversation,Drummond (Olafur Darrl Olafsson)breaks into Irving’s apartment.
“Thank you, I’ve heard nothing at all about my work,” he replies.
She apologizes for the earlierOvertime Contingency fiascoand promises it won’t happen again.
“You should meet him sometime,” she suggests.
“You wanna take me home to Dad already?”
“Yeah, I think it’s finally time,” Helena jokes, and he agrees.
““Didn’t the first severed office open 12 years ago?”
Irving asks, and Burt agrees, before trying to cut Fields off from wine.
Immediately, his perception alternates between seeing intimate moments with both Gemma and Helly.
Mark falls, and Dr. Reghabi emerges from the basement as Mark seizes, his mouth foaming.
(You’re awfully obsessed about carefully solidifying that timeline, Burt.)
What is Burt hiding about his history with severance and Lumon?
If that’s any indication,expect Milchick to come out swinging with a harsher managerial style next week.
New episodes ofSeveranceSeason 2 are available to stream every Friday on Apple TV+.
