In the Season 1 finale, all the innies face surprises in the outside world.

Mark S. is shocked to be the brother-in-law to Ricken (Michael Chernus), whose book he admires.

While Milchick (Tramell Tillman) tries to reframe it,Helly has every right to be horrified.

Already, the innies are treated terribly.

Helly was repeatedly denied her request to quit as well, so she already had grievances with her outie.

What little life Helly has is in flames because of something she didn’t do.

Irving is gone, and Mark will barely talk to her.

Helly has every right to feel violated by Helena, but she can’t do anything about it.

But worse is the fact thatno one realized the truth until it was too late.

We are now halfway through ‘Severance’ Season 2.

Mark doesn’t fill Helly in on the discovery that Ms. Casey is his wife or anything else.

Instead, he keeps her at arm’s length and shuts down any reason for them to work together.

To Helly, Mark’s choice to keep information from her and hide his intentions makes her feel worse.

While the argument may be cruel towards Helly, who is not at fault, Mark has a point.

If he cannot tell who his enemies are, he has no hope.

Helly is unrelenting in her fight for control over herself.

She is also the first to stand up for the innies.

Meanwhile, Helena’s power manifests differently.

It’s terrifying that the enemy is so like Helly that even her friends couldn’t spot the difference.
