GigaDirt

Heat is back and my dumb ass is worried where the schedule is

jerry

That throuple line was wild lol

Hytre432

I've been waiting!

Jaja

top 3 show reaction right here wild you guys didn't have to wait 3 years lmaoo. Also is Helly really helly or is she really helena?

NiToTheNah

He actually studied Tom Cruise's run for that opening sequence, and filmed it slowly over the course of 5 months while doing other scenes (as to not tire the actor).

James

That beginning scene had me flashing back to you guys calling Mark Temu Tom Cruise

zay

Please watch Silo after this its on apple tv also !

bleach

We back!

❥ rina

AND WE’RE BACK ‼️

zacharie garondo

You know Apple had money when they have Keanu reeves just to voice the Lumon building

Jamie

Bro got so heated because I dared to ask for from on severance grow up ahahahahahahahhaha

Deep

Bro can't wait 2 days like a loser n needs to beg for more shit 10 mins after a drop, u know how exporting works?

XORA NICO

WE BACK. LIKE TIKTOK 🙌🏽 & MILCHIK STILL THUH THUH THUH THICCCCCCCC!!

Jamie

Bros so mad AHAHHAHAHHA u really said “I have a pro so they can’t roast me” is that a flex? U made urself a pfp on Patreon damn bro I’m sorry never knew u were like that

❥ rina

also I’m standing ten toes on the theory that this woman is Helena and not our Helly

Jamie

Using touch grass as an insult is dumb do u find that insulting? Do u just not actually go outside to the point “touch grass” hurts your feelings but I don’t go outside barefoot or start touching and smelling grass get back in ur basement

Tellyg47

This giving me invincible vibes “I miss my wife” 😭

Jamie

I’ve been waiting since the last ep and yes I can wait do u understand the point of asking? Did I demand? Talk shit? Or u just looking for attention

Sare

This was the show that got me to join this Patreon.

I VisiBomb I

it was uploaded like half an hour before my birthday was over, this is a win for sure.

John Cedar

How is it that a voiceover for a building is the most convincing Keanu Reeves performance I've heard in a while 😂 What genius casting, his wooden delivery is perfect for the weird fake corporate niceties that are all over Lumon

jerry

Yeah that was my assumption but the only thing that makes me doubt is that her “cover” story sounded a little made up on the fly, I feel like Helena would have prepped better.

itsfidy

By the way, the person voicing the Lumon infovideo they all got shown is Keanu Reeves, I didn't even recognize him until afterwards.

Mr_grandma05

Did They really have John Wick voice a building??

John Cedar

Yeah the actress is clearly doing things differently. Her mannerisms, her tone, her constant questions and staring at people...it would be super weird if it was Helly. Also, it makes sense for her to talk with the same disdain for her innie, because Helena definitely hates Helly as much as the other way around.

Danielle

Y’all Adam Scott said he studied Tom Cruise’s running to shoot the opening scene. that had me think of y’all calling him temu Tom cruise lmaooo Edit: I listened to the podcast and it sounds more like a joke and not what he actually did 💀

Ricky Pereira

I think they’re rebuilding people’s memories

itsfidy

People been saying that "Helly" couldn't find the power button easily, that might actually be her unsevered.

Ron H

2 things: 1) I don’t think it’s been 5 months, why would it take so long for Milchick to move into Cobels office? and 2) Helly took too long to find the switch under her desk, as if she had never used it before. That confirms it’s her Outtie to me.

Jamie

Swear there was one time? Could be wrong but definitely not just wed/thurs

cami ً

I don't know if anybody has said it before, but each of the letters (number categories) represent kier's four tempers: wo is despair, fc is joy, dr is fear and ma is anger! also, my two theories are that 1) that's definitely helena (she didn't know how to turn on her computer) and 2) lumon got a child as mr. milchick's replacement to make sure the group doesn't try to defy her or be violent (dylan biting milchick) but yeah this episode was incredible I'm so excited to know more!!

DIOR

Peak

Mk IDraw

Shipping out to basic training today so I'ma have to miss peak for a lil bit 😔😮‍💨

John Cedar

Ok theory time, the very end shows Mark and then switches from the bins to a screen with his wife's face. There are infographs with something that looks like vital signs, and the same 5 folders that have 4 subcategories that are WO, DR, FC, and MA. These are definitely the "4 tempers" we were told about in the Kier museum. Woe, Dread, Frolic, and Malice. The Eagan family theorizes that everything about a person is made up of a ratio of these emotions. And since the numbers are said to ellicit an emotional response, it seems to me they are programming or altering the brains of the severed people on the testing floor, those who are imprisoned at Lumon, like Mark's wife. It could have something to do with perfecting the human mind, cloning, mind transference to a new body, fixing a damaged brain, fine tuning the personality of an innie...I have no idea, but I'm sure at this point that they are directly messing with the brains of other severed people. Perhaps they want to access and control severed people on the outside, like the Senator from S1. (There is also a free e-book that is canon, it backs some of this up and offers more insight into Lumon and the things they're willing to do. Look up The Lexington Letter if you want to read it.)

Dallas

I kinda agree with the theory that it’s HELENA bitch ass not Helly 😔

Im not the best, I’m the better

for sure the lil girl gotta be worse than milchick, especially since she’s a little girl she’s probably twice as hard

John Cedar

There are 5 folders though. Maybe there is a 5th temper that the Eagans are trying to identify or something unique to each person.

CentipedeKid

That child is either severed or went through something equally as bad to be that well trained to lie. Because she said she was a crossing guard before working for the company and said that shit like it was the truth which made me think it's a implanted memory like they told her that.

Steven K

I need yall to drop episode 2 on Fridays trying to avoid spoilers is brutal

Melon Lord

CALLING IT NOW. LUMONS GOT AN ORPHANGE/INDOCTRINATION CAMP, AND MILCHICK WAS IN THAT SHIT AS A KID

AllanJ

Cloning has to be in play here, right? I keep thinking back to Season 1 with the room full of goats. Also, Mark and his sister have confirmed Gemma died and I would assume they burried her body. So, Ms. Casey could be a clone and Lumon's endgame is Immortality through cloning and transfer of consciousness? Also, Petey mentioned in S1 there's a department where the people never leave, and we know this is most likely the same place where the elevator that Irving draws leads to, and it's where Ms. Casey went. Final scene looked like Mark's work was sending data to a clone of his wife/Ms. Casey that's in "Cold Harbour". Maybe Ms. Huang (the little girl) is a clone aswell? Had to put on my Tinfoil hat for this one.

Expired Breast Milk

IT COULD NOT BE ME. WHAT IS STOPPING MARK FROM PUNCHING MILKSHAKE OUT, JUST CHOKING TF OUT HIM LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS HE A BITCH JUST THROW HANDS 😭😭😭😭😭😭

❥ rina

yea I clocked it during her first or second scene. I saw somebody say she has the “CEO dead eyes” look during most of her scenes with Mark and I can’t unsee it LMFAO— but there’s little breadcrumbs that support both sides of “maybe it is Helly and she’s just ashamed” or “nah that’s deadass Helena”. and I love it because the discussion around it is so entertaining. it rlly could just be a red herring but there’s toooooo many red flags during the episode, that I’m 1000% locked in on this theory. if we’re all wrong we’re gonna be looking like clown shoes tho 💀 but i’m here for this season already

AnnaSama

Nah. If that’s Helena instead of Helly, then she’s had five months to come up with a better lie than her night gardener story. It’s a fun theory, but there’s no way an op would say something so suspicious.

A F W

Standing ten toes on the theory that this isn’t Helly

KingMarkoIII

Not to add to this childish argument but like they have a schedule …that they post every week….that you can actually look at instead of requesting it in every episode 😂😂.

Bria A.

Personally I don't think it's been five months at all, because the newspaper is obviously photoshopped and why would a peak Type A dude like Milchick still have packed boxes like he's just getting settled in? But anyway, my running theory is they've got a copy of Kier's brain on an implant and they're trying to perfect cloning to reanimate him. There was the whole goat thing, and everyone's pointed out already that MDR's actual job seems to be refining personalities through code... (Also, yeah, about 85% sure Helly is Helena. I wonder if the group ends up reintegrated this season and has to deal with those alternate perspectives.)

Jamie

It’s an insane thing I know but hear me out this may be tough to follow for a few reads but what if I asked before the schedule was posted 🤯

kidspud

Helly seems suspicious to me. also, if everyone was stuck in the last position they were before dylan let go of the switches, and helly was on stage then why did she run out of the elevator out of breath?

RYC

I think that's Helly's innie personally. She's terrified of her team knowing about her outies identity bc she's ashamed of her (technically) role as part of the eagan CEO dynasty.

I VisiBomb I

ofc shes a mole, thats why they had no cameras or microphones in the room, they literally dont need them. also she pushed Irv to tell them what happened after the subject almost changed, she needed that info.

G W

It took her 5 tries to turn on her machine. She should know exactly where the switch it.

Grimm

I'm surprise people don't catch the part were Milchick says they're famous and it shows the newspaper of them in a car in a parade. Why would Helly's outie be celebrating with them since she's an Eagan? If you go back to look at that photo, you will see its photoshop and its the pic they took at Helly's 1st day.

Amanda Hill

I’m with yall on that being Helena. She kept emphasizing that “where’d that security camera go?” or “there’s no mics in here”. Asking Mark enough questions to figure out he wants to get Gemma out. I think there probably still are mics and security cameras, but she’s also an op. I also wanna know how Milchick still has a job, let alone how he got promoted. His fuck-up in S1E6 was the beginning catalyst for them being able to break out.

PH3 NXM

Fun fact Mark watched a lot of Tom Cruise running videos to mimic it and that scene also took about 4-5months to film and get it right

Jamie

Saw on tik tok the main cast of this show the actual actors were in grand central station acting out there characters in a glass set for marketing

Jamie

I’m 3 minutes in on 1x1 and wtf is this show was I wrong this whole time?

❥ rina

yeah I wish I could list all the things that she does in this episode, cause there’s rlly A LOT. it’s like 100% confirmed to me as a viewer, at this point. for ex.) she didn’t even THINK about the leaving proposition. they would’ve never let the real (innie) Helly disruptive ass actually get a choice to leave for good LMAO. it’s all fake, obviously Helena’s whole purpose was to make sure Mark doesn’t either. “best way to tame a prisoner is let them think they’re free” and all that. but like I said, there’s just (barely) enough breadcrumbs for those who still want to believe that it’s Helly or make ppl second guess. Helena put up a decent fight in the acting department, but IK my girl Helly anywhere

Reckless Company

Can’t believe they didn’t get fired 😂😂

Tejiri Ubiedi

I feel like the numbers they're sorting represent something traumatic or sad from their outtie life, which is why the numbers feel "scary" to them. Why they're doing that, who knows.

Ej

Man I waited 3 years for this!! Yall reaction to S1 was the best! Check out Silo on Apple TV too 🔥🔥

Tejiri Ubiedi

That's assuming it's really been 5 months... and if that's the case, why is Milchick not done unpacking his boxes? And the newspaper he showed is clearly fake

Tejiri Ubiedi

I mean, cobel/selvig is shown to have been in a Kier orphanage, and that's why she's so crazy for him.

Deep

Aye today I was just salty and decided to comment but that's why I did exactly lol it's not like stuff changes most weeks unless they got irl shit going on you usually never see me here and I'm pretty active on discord

Jamie

And what did I say to be a bitch? I was a bitch to other bitches but I didn’t start shit

Deep

Aye man just these schedules don't change homie maybe from had one day on Monday but that happens with life issues they have going "from" 15 mins after 1 drop i woulda gone at u either way today no matter the show , u may not understand but people get literally mad and send them threats n shit when they not getting the drops they want , I'm not their white knight but seeing this shit every episode is ass , ask in the anime channel they just made lol n u should know the main schedule unless u been here 1 week even then tho u can see the past ones homie

mystie

So I don’t think mark has been down there longer than 2 years. Simply for the fact that I’m pretty sure in season 1, the people who know him (his sister, Ricken, etc) have mentioned that it’s been two years since his wife died and he did the procedure

Jamie

Then ur just a sad man ur saying ur read to go at me for asking for a show? How do people like u exist definition of an npc

Jamie

See the power of asking is something incredible it’s this thing when u ask for something I know it seems crazy since ur parents didn’t love u enough to give u things so u don’t even know how to ask for anything poor guy

Deep

How do people like u ask for some other shit not knowing how to read either idk? 10 mins after a drop too? Definition of a no life loser imo

JJ Gilmore

Plot twist miss Wong is related to miss Casey

That guy joe

28:08 random ass Keanu Reeves cameo 🤣

I_Do_Editz _And_Stuff

i don’t believe a word that comes out of milkshakes filthy mouth

bleach

I thought they would've caught Keanu as Lumon

MTV

that just means that the time he lost his wife and the total time he said he's been working there matches up

DatKid_Kaneki

“que?” LUPA HES ITALIAN😭😭

Derrick

Peak reactors back for the peak show! Can’t wait for the rest of this season

mystie

Sorry what I meant was to elaborate on their thoughts that maybe mark and Gemma had a child. I was trying to say that miss huang is def too old to be their kid. BUT, this show has done nothing but throw amazing curve balls so we will see!

SavvyAlloy

Yeah, I think you're onto something. It should have taken at most a week for Milchick to unpack those boxes as well as have the name changed on the computer.

User10101

So glad we back! Really like y'all theory that Helly is actually Helena.

AnnaSama

Even if it’s been just the three days that Mark has experienced, it doesn’t make sense for Helena to go down with prepping. I think Helly being aloud back is super sus, but an heiress going to work in a basement office for hours a day, pretending to flirt with Mark, pretending to care about Dylan and Irving, all just to surveil her “coworkers”… doesn’t seem like something a rich bitch would do. Idk

Moon God

Does no one recognize that Keanu Reeves was the voice of the building in "Lumon is Listening" ? I caught that shit immediately and was waiting for them to catch on...

camille

Helly being Helena makes sense. My only question is Helly got the surgery for the implant to be severed, wouldn't Helena automatically switch to Helly when she gets in the elevator?

suzukiri

The theory about Helly makes sense. I know at the end of s1 she got tackled so idk if that makes sense for her introduction to be a casual jog out of the elevator into a "did you wake up" without really showing much disorientation the way the other guy did by banging on the elevator. Of course I could just be looking too hard to justify the theory, but I think it stands well on it's own so far

Jon Fejes

Best (only) use of the phrase "shambolic rube" I've ever heard. Peak writing. Milchick is a shambolic rube!

Dantene

Reaction fire as usual, and Sheera's face at the beginning of the Lumon video is peak disgust lmao

JJ Gilmore

Yeah I was thinking it's a bit random that they sent a child to the place where the inners work and every time she is there where mark is

CocainCowboy

I’m with Roshi, I think she’s faking it as well. She got way too defensive when Mark compared innies & outies, & was quick to say that there were no mics. Innie Helly was super distrustful of Lumen. THEORY & in regards to ‘Ms. Casey’ some people are speculating that Macro Data Refinement, is a program to rebuild conciseness of humans. the ultimate goal is to bring back Egan. But currently they’re testing it out on Marks wife, they (possibly) need people that knew her & that those ‘feelings’ they get when circling numbers is basically them saying ‘this is what she was like & this is probably what she would’ve felt’.

Guns

imagine their outies already in kahoots and just going to work and coming back to plan infiltrations

Guns

Roshi's take was top tier. I think Helly is an OP now too. remember how each of them ended their switches? Helly was currently getting knocked down, but she instantly came out just running

BojacksReacts

I wonder if when they go downstairs are they still severed or not. Clearly Ms Casey isn’t dead severed or not. But my thing is, let’s say when she goes downstairs she’s herself again. That’s why they announced her “dead” because she’d been trapped down there all along. She couldn’t resist because of what? The kid. And now that the kid is old enough they can flaunt her in marks face since the wife didn’t pan out. Definitely a stretch, but damn would it be interesting to find out mark is also deeply connected from his past or something

Alan

its crazy that the actress for ms huang is actually 18 irl

Cole J. Rotahusi

They might have perfected the reintegration procedure during the five month hiatus. I bet Helena got her brain reintegrated. After all, Ms. Cobel proved to the board that re-integration was possible.

Joel Lopez

Whatever they are doing to Ms Casey or (Gemma) might have something to do with her emotions and memories. When they explain how MDR job was to look for numbers that made them feel some kind of emotion and proceed to delete said numbers. Might be a link to her emotions? idk

Alice

i think it's still possible that the kid is mark and gemma's, or she might just straight up be a gemma clone or some shit. them having age-progression/regression tech doesn't seem that far fetched when they have the power to sever people's brains lmfao

Zazies Beret

Was the Lumon building voiced by Keanu or am I tweaking??

Henderson C

That guy watching Mark in the beginning after running wasn't Milchick. He had different clothes and a white hand. It kinda looked like Graner or Mark himself?

DABSLABOG

mr fish and chips would fit in perfect in this show lmao

SixPathTobi

nah you not the only one. I hardly watch anything Keanu and I immediately thought it was him.

Steven K

Watching this episode back and the infomercial they had to watch. It showed that Lumon has always stayed in one location and was just expanded. I wonder if the “replica” house in the perpetuity wing from the first season is the real original house?

Fizzy

Nah I am dying right now crazy he would fit just right in 😭😭😭😭

Fizzy

Bro Keanu reeves has such a distinct voice I already knew it was him as lumin😭😭😭😭

Nuri Numighost

I think that five month time span is cap because if it has been five months, that screensaver would have been changed by now but he’s complaining about it now . Plus this man still un-packing his new office !!! So I’d say like 2weeks or a month because the that stupid animation would take some time to cook.

Theo Vorster

Yeah, and her defensive over Mark’s statement that Outies and Innies are the “same-ish” people. For Helly, who is disgusted by her Outie, Helena, that notion would be something she ideologically opposed to. I think Helly hiding her Outie’s real identity more has to do with shame and guilt than anything else.

Jazko

5 month timeskip, I’m sure they were able to learn about reintegration

Jigga Man

Heli is definitely an opp. She's way too compliant. However, you'd think that she'd come up with a better story on what she saw on the outside than just waking up in an apartment.

Theo Vorster

Something to keep in mind, Mr. Milchick’s offer that the Innie’s can choose to quit is essentially telling them they are allowed to “kill themselves” (since quitting functionally ends the existence of the Innie self). What’s fascinating about inherent overarching conflict of the Innies is that (barring reintegration, which has its risks if recovery isn’t followed up correctly) their mortality is inherently dependent on Lumon (in the sense that Lumon’s technology/machines is what allows the Innies to exist in general). It will be interesting to see what the long-term goal of each Innie holds in regard to their mortality/existence. I could everyone except Helly being interested in the concept of successful non-fatal reintegration. While Helly I think would definitely not want to ever reintegrate with Helena. But I think Helly would be interested in being able to still continue her Innie existence outside of Lumon.

muxakara!

If you really think about it, it 100% is Helena and not Helly. Helly has no reason in the world to lie to them, while Helena has every reason in the world to do so. Given the circumstances, Helly would be the most dangerous out of all 4 of them considering she could quite literally do whatever she wanted with no consequences given the fact that the person she is on the outside is a person of power. After doing what she did, it makes perfect sense for the people in control to not want to give that kind of power to her other half. Helly wouldn't go in front of the world and say what she said and then lie to them about it. It would make the entire plan in Season 1 null and void to withold information, that and the fact that she doesn't operate the same. The usual sarcastic and witty Helly is no where to be seen. She's almost TOO serious.

muxakara!

i'm thinking that's how it ends. whenever that comes i'd imagine that helly would just replace helena and wouldn't even have to reintegrate. helena's memories are of no use to helly, and with being helly, she'd never have to worry about anything or anyone being of harm to her because of who she is. use that power to her advantage because nobody would really know either.

muxakara!

which, if true, would trigger the question of why lie about how long it's been?

A. P.

I had the same thought about Helly, that's crazy. This season about to be crazy, my mind is already fcked lol Thank y'all for the reaction, I'm about to go daydream about Boyd being in this show and laugh for an hour or so

Bob

Watch Firefly, maybe we'll finally get a second season that way

KingDom

What they’re doing is doing something. —Lupa 2025

Slicewinds

I think the weidest thing about Helly R. this episode is not immediately taking the opportunity to leave this "hell" when offered. Of course because who her outie is that would never work anyway.

Kei Gonzalez-Ortiz

the way lupa does the milchick voice is killing me 😭😭

Bob

My only problem with that theory is the outie should have come up with a better lie than a night gardener, especially because there was snow on the ground, which Helly wouldn't have known because she never left the gala and went outside. That lie only serves to raise suspicion and I can't see why being sus would be part of her plan. Like, you telling me Helena had 5 months to come up with a solid cover story and she came back with that bullshit? Nah. Innies are naive and Helly didn't know it was winter, so I'd be more ready to believe that she came up with it on the spot.

Starman Deluxe

Luman's ready for them to hold auditions to play Dylan's wife and kids

artisticSarcasm

TLDR this is about to be fuckin wild, and I'm going to be losing my mind over the damn psychological mind games It's 100% Helena, she's a mole, and clearly still doesn't consider Innies as humans as she kinda snapped on Mark there. She didn't really seem to remember key things about the place like how to get around or turn the computer on(compared to Millchik's demonstration and her feeling around for it, both cuts right next to each other), and how she was so insistent about keeping the group together(to keep track of them, get every detail about what they saw, did, and were planning.) Also, Irv(Ex military brain) caught her in that lie and seemed suspicious of her though it was brushed aside due to his own disorientation and mix of feelings at the time. They're trying to also turn Dylan with the promises of his family since that was the main rebuttal he'd used against Millchik. Miss Huang I'm gonna say could possibly be Mark's daughter by Ms. Casey, and if so that's completely fucked, she might be some sort of new lineup of severance from birth or something, and they're fcking with his head by using her against him. I also remember that section about the wife who got severed simply to have a child, and later doesn't remember meeting Mark's sister. It's not a definite by any means but yeah. Millchik also seems to be off balance somehow as well, and doesn't seem to get along with Ms. Huang either just like himself with Ms. Cobel, but honestly effffff that man the actor is playing the shit outta that role and I hate it🤣. I wonder if this season will see Mark attempting to fuse his personalities with his Outtie, playing similar mind games once he catches on to Helena's deception. I also agree that their "job" with the sorting is fucking with memories of some sort, as I'm keeping in mind Lumen's ultimate goal is a sort of cult Oneness of mind, removing individuality and uniting everyone under a forced order. Ms. Cobel's warning was that Helly would disappear just fine, but everyone else will suffer so I expect that to be playing out in full effect just as we've seen with Mark's daughter put in arms reach but entirely set against him and his wife hidden/ Dylan's family being flaunted in front of him, and probably Burt at some point showing up and being used to taunt Irv again.

Ren Lichtfoot

Helllllllll nah. Time to start a new hashtag because #NOTMYHELY , that's DEFINITELY Outtie Hely

Panda

So what you are saying with that first bit roshi(the intro), is that we need to get you guys to watch some of the shows we want renewed. If you guys do a reaction to reading the most recent GOT book, think that man will finally drop the last one? I'm just saying, we can use these powers for good.

Anatoly

That is definitely innie Helly. The way she reacted when Mark was saying the innies and outies are sort of the same was because she despises her outie self being a Kier and working for, if not leading, Lumon.

hokeypokey

Lupa and Sheera got saved by Roshi seeing all the clues that it's not Helly, usually they are so quick to pickup on things like that so was suprised they weren't picking up on them and thought she was just trying to hide the truth for some reason.

B23

age is way off, iirc Mark’s wife aka Ms. Casey “died” a few years ago, unless there’s a huge time skip or Lumon found a way to progress a child’s growth fast fast then yeah

Panda

The random keanu reeves VAing a building. Lmfao.

King Loki

Keanu Reeves is the whole ass Lumon building? Random

Corey Leach

Nah that's def Helly R. She was jealous af finding out Mark got a whole wife. Also I think that projector was bugged jus like there was a bug in the wellness room. It's crazy how they wanted to get out so bad last season, and now they ass staying.

maui

you see that was my initial thought as well, but it also works the other way around. Helly's outie would also hate to be compared to her innie, considering she is one of the heads of this thing, she would dehumanize the innie and see them as just a servile subject, something her outie would not identify with. tbh I don't really know what to think.

Cam Kaneki

I detect another hall of fame reaction coming with this season. Gonna be a ride 😂

Val

Is...the Lumon narrator/building Keanu? Sounds just like him.

yoyo

we know that the whole lumon organization has goals for world domination/control, and with their penchant for memory modifications and hinting of "underground cities", i would have to guess that this kid manager is some kind of prototype-product of the organization. i'm thinking that if it's true, maybe she specifically has some relationship to mark's MDR team, and her employment has been rushed due to the uprising. after all, that guy mentioned how no other team is actually completing their files, so maybe the board saw it necessary to reunite the gang to prove the product. if i REALLY wanted to assume shit i would say that the kid is some kind of clone of mark's wife whose mind is the result of the MDR work, but maybe im just racist and assuming the only two asian characters in the show have to be related lmao. this show is too fucking good.

Thulani Mason

Ain't no way in hell Lumon would let our Helly back down knowing would she now knows. Also, "Milkshake's" milkshake brings all the boys to the yard! Mans got bunz!

Z

Bro was that Keanu Reeves voicing the building in the cartoon? 😂

TheOGDaffy

its fish and loaves LOL but thats hilarious bruh now I can only think of Boyd as Mr.Fish and Chips

Danger Tomato

Yall didn't notice elastigirl or Keanu Reeves? 😭

Ghost_Troupe

I bet the data refinement people are keeping severed people severed. So they are literally keeping themselves trapped down there lol

Ghost_Troupe

That's pretty accurate to a lot of people in real life finding out that the guy/girl they've been "dating" at work secretly has a wife/husband outside of work

Ghost_Troupe

My theory is that Gemma was cloned, and the kid is one of her clones. They never said her first name, and they showed her and Mark looking at each other's eyes often.

Un D

My guess is that Outtie Mark had undergone reintegration surgery with Reghabi in the 5 months time skip. That's why he comes back to 'work' at Lumon, even after macrodat uprising. Yes, He fully intend to search for Gemma, and shown in that last scene: might be hinting that Innie Mark is starting to have Outtie Mark's memories. Idk about Helly. Her mannerism seems to be suspicious, but no big differences yet.

JudahOne

Roshi is OP with these solid ass theories .. Bro is locked in !!! I still wanna believe that the little girl is Mark’s daughter though.. I know it doesn’t make sense but That theory would be so fire

Cho

Dylan has met one of his kids but he doesn’t know any of his other family members. They could easily hire a woman to play the part of his wife and he’d be none the wiser So excited this is back and I get to watch it with y’all!

Anatoly

The reason I think its innie Helly is because of how she said they don't owe the outies shit. I think outtie Helly would have just been more cold about it and not so emotionally driven.

AdmiralZhou

It’s hilarious you guys mentioned Tom Cruise bc Adam Scott actually said he watched a lot of videos of Tom Cruise running for this opening scene

JudahOne

@47:06 Bruh SHES AN OPP !!! She doesnt know where the power button is !!!! That shot is EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT!!! this show is peak!!!

Joshua Burns

Helly can’t be because that process can’t be just undone like that the last guy who did died

Ketsu

BBL milkshake

Criimson

@4:44 I just wanna point out, i don't think that's milcheck guys! If you peep when milcheck rolls up a bit after that scene, you can see his outfit is entirely different from whoever that was in the background. Already picking my brain on who the heck that could be, i don't think it was one of his new coworkers so... who then?

Jack in the box

Just watched the whole first season and now it’s time.

artisticSarcasm

Nice catch. Apparently there's someone new down there. He's wearing a white shirt like Mark instead of blue. I'm wondering if psychologically that's his outie brought to semi consciousness because of the intense focus on his wife, or some new character entirely.

artisticSarcasm

But they can control when the chip is active and when it isn't as we saw in the last episode of the first season. With her being essentially the daughter of the ceo I wouldn't put it past her. She's also acting extremely off the entire time(Not really knowing the layout of the place, or where her computer power button was) and her snappy cold insistence that the outie and innie's aren't the same(though she reeled it in) mirroring the video she sent Helly in season one.

artisticSarcasm

Nah she was far too insistent on finding out what everyone had seen despite lying, and way too subdued. The big thing for me was her not knowing how to turn the computer on, coldly snapping at Mark about Outies and Innies not being the same, insisting the group stay together(so she could keep track of everything said) and the place no longer needing cameras/mics cause she would be involved with the main problem group the whole time.

artisticSarcasm

She's acting. She certainly meant the first part about them not being the same(equal), but had to disguise the rest with something Helly would've said

SirCapAlot

I’m 50/50 on helly, the outtie wouldn’t of known or asked about where the security cam was earlier in the ep but then later she was acting hella suspect 🤔

DsWorldd •

Aw nahhh I ain’t even notice that. Its really HellyK till our bones decay now😕

Anatoly

Hmm… idk about that. Honestly it could go either way, but even how she said they aren’t equal felt like she was just ashamed of her outie self to me

DJ Muldrow

If it’s deleting memories the child theory could still be in play, and don’t they get bad feelings for certain numbers? Deleting bad memories?

SavvyAlloy

I could see her doing it so she could observe the Innies and potentially see what made them rebel. I know what I said sounds stupid, but we cant throw away the possibility.

Tay

what hes doing is doing something - lupa

Cho

Fans have figured out that the file names are all named after bodies of water (dams, reservoirs) and the Lumon logo is a drop of water. I think it has to do with that and less so with memories?

Cho

Rewatching and “Helly’s” immediate “What happened to the security camera?” after Mark says they shouldn’t discuss what’s happening because they could be listening is so suspicious

SupremeCai

Nah she lying cuz thats not Helly thats Helena. Bet af. The whole shit felt weird how she was unfamiliar with her setup, imo not lying but just not knowing what she actually saw up there, overall voice/facial expressions. I aint fallin for that. And I don't feel it's been 5 months that whole shits a sham. But also how tf would people not know bout it whether helly at the conference or other people at mark's sister's party. But the welcome screen not changed, milchick still unpacking, I dont buy that either.

Dyastro

Milchick and dylan is black on black crime, lmao

Matt

PEAK IS BACKKK

AnnaSama

It doesn't sound stupid. We really don't know much of anything about the outties besides Mark. I could easily be on the wrong track about Helena's personality and motivations. The writing is so tight!

Kevin

We back!! And I like Sheera’s theory about them deleting memories. I’ll take it a step further and say that the more they reach the quota they’ll get to a point where the innie will eventually replace the outie. Then Lumon will have full control over the person in both their personal and work life. Successfully completing this will prove to lumon that they can not only bring back kier but they can begin to create specific characteristics in people

Felicia Williams

I agree, that is not the Innie. When the others came out of the elevator, they were remember what they last said and did. She didn’t say “they are torturing us down there”.

Felicia Williams

My theory is the kid is a clone that they kept in the basement and they used Mark and Gemma’s DNA. They may have a way to accelerate the growth.

muxakara!

The thing is, she has no idea what they could have talked about. It'd make sense to say nothing and to come up with some random story. Telling them what really happened only feeds whatever they are planning. Either way telling them also makes them suspicious of her, and not for the wrong reason of trust but because through the suspicion they could rule her out. If the mission is to be Lumons eyes and ears, you'd wanna be as close to them as you could possibly be when you go down there. Revealing what happened could drive a wedge between them which makes the mission harder. I have a hard time believing the Helly we know would give a shit about telling them, considering they all know her resignation got turned down and she was even down to kill her outtie self. I don't know, take it with a grain of salt but I think she's lying and that's not her.

Divinerights

I recommend watching s1e3 to recall what Egan was saying about his four tempers, the four boxes at the bottom of Ms Casey’s screen

Dmitri A. Baldwin

Definitely agree with Roshi. She was being too weird and the other innie's are super excited about the most random and normal things, like the sky and easels and dylan was even excited about whatever band t-shirt helly said she was wearing - and helly described her apartment as "boring". doesn't seem like a very innie thing to do.

LJ Thomas

did no one else realize that’s keanu reeves voicing the building in the video???

Dmitri A. Baldwin

also idk what's up with dylan/outtie dylan's character. i keep thinking back to season 1 how mr. milchick was literally in outtie dylan's house with his child, outtie dylan trusted him enough to let him in AND do the little contingency thing? i just wonder how that conversation went before and after they switched outtie and innie dylan on and off - outtie dylan has to know more about lumon than the rest of the other outties.

Casual

Roshi: “ill knock this little girl out” true like how is she gonna stop me from escaping 😭😭

Daniel De Lira

omg keanu is the BUILDING IN THE VIDEO

Casual

Lupa remember they work off of vibes

Kuro

No I think the file names all have to do with how one of the testing floor innies died. In S1 Ep 3 Petey says in a flashback “I can't imagine Dylan's 4% on Sunset Park's gonna help with...” Take a look at Irving’s map from the season 1 finale! Gemma’s file name is Cold Harbor, maybe her accident at the tree was near a harbor. We only see it at night, but it was winter on her death anniversary

Rayanh LaNansha

A theory I found interesting was that Milchick and Cobel are so strange just in general because they're their severed selves at all times. Like it's not that they're not severed, but that their normal selves is their severed selves, like even when they're on the outside, which would explain why they're just so odd to begin with.

Rayanh LaNansha

Isn't it because Petey did it on the outside with people who aren't from Lumon? The lady who actually severed them, the one who killed the security guard in season 1, said she could do it because she's the one who severed them in the first place. That it was doable for her.

AutumnOnFire

Bruh I KNEW Keanu Reeves was the Lumon Building! This man is making his RETIREMENT RUN. Edit: So I caught it the second time, but I realized that Lumon is listening everywhere now. They found out that they were making secret plans in the supply closet. That's why Milkshake said they shouldn't have to pack up in the supply closet like a bunch of sardines.

AutumnOnFire

I'm willing to bet that the Helly they have right now is Outie-Helly, not Innie-Helly. That's why she seemed so subtly confrontational with her response to Irving saying "A gardener." Outie-Helly is a stern person, and he will reply back with confrontation with aggression. She was also not SUPER romantically glad that Mark was back and that she was near him. That's not something a stern person like Outie-Helly would be able to fake.

Bad Karma

Nah, I think it's still Innie-Hellie. When she confronts Mark later on she very much implies that she was hiding the fact she was an Eagan, likely because she's ashamed of it while also wanting to avoid suspicion. She sounds VERY emotional when she says that her outie and herself could never be the same person. It was like she seemed to be hurt that she could be someone so heartless on the outside. Least thats how i see it.

Matt

47:33 yeahhh Sheera fucking Boyd in Severance 💀😭😭

Matt

Very strong start to the season, curious to see what they cook up. I’m lowkey with Roshi on the theory Helly’s outie is on the inside, but Ima need to see more to fully agree.

PersonaFyde

I was thinking the same thing. Although, I don’t really have a reason for it, just the idea popped up out of nowhere. I haven’t finished the reaction yet but if she’s on board with not quitting so they can somehow “take down Lumon from the inside” then I’m gonna lean towards it being true.

Cho

I don’t think Helena was expecting to come back. Mark came back after 5 months but everyone else’s was brought back after his outburst, who knows how long that was? She might have not been preparing to return and didn’t have time to think it through. Plus, it’s been shown the non-severed think of innies as stupid (“They left us unattended and thought we wouldn’t notice”)

Criimson

I agree but we should also consider that outie Helly could've been coached on how to respond to certain things. We do see that Lumon literally hears and sees all so I don't think that's too out there.

Ren Lichtfoot

I think it is. Either that, or Ms. Casey in a new body. Her response, when asked about her age was ....weird.

Reina

I can't tell if it's Keanu voicing the building in the video or not...

Fred_D3

They wouldn’t need to sever Dylan’s outie family that’s too much effort & resources. They could just hire actors to play his family & Dylan would be none the wiser

roach

its been 5 months but the PC still says Ms. Cobel? come on now .. something is wrong

LupusRex69

lying and "we are not the same." are way to sus. but there is a small possibility she just fears beng mstrusted or was told to pretend she didnt see anything through blackmail??

Bria A.

I'm prepared to make a Carmine Falcone joke if Irving snaps this season

Iago

Ms Huang is Ms cobel, name of the episode is hello ms cobel, the only reference to that is her pc at her office, but would the episode be called this just for that? The episode focus on this girl, and when she uses her black card to open the break room for MDR, the hand shown to us is not the hand of a child. It also shows “hello Ms Cobel” right after focusing on ms huang’s face

Bria A.

It's most likely personality refinement. The boxes down below are labeled as Eagan's four tempers, which is more or less an analogy for the four humors theory in old medicine/psychology. The initials go: WO = Woe (sadness), FC = Frolic (Joy), DR = Dread (fear), MA = Malice (anger).

Liliana

Remember how last season outie Hellie left a video for her innie saying that only she is a real person, not the innie. It would also make sense for Outie Hellie to feel offended at hearing someone say her innie is the same person.

sotonye ogan

Roshi cooked too much on that Outie-Helly scheeme that he started doubting himself lmao . she beliveed too easily when Milchick said no cameras and mics then reassured the rest of the gang "dw Milchick said no microphones in here we good" Innie-Helly would be sus af after everything she has seen on the outside.

Bria A.

She's either a reprogrammed Harmony or Ms. Casey/Gemma. The casting would make sense for a younger Gemma but it could be a fakeout for that exact reason. And idk what kind of laws the Severance universe has but it absolutely still has to be illegal to put an actual teenager in a secret clearance full-time management role, right? 😭

Fred_D3

He saw him for like 2 seconds & Lumon has the funds to find a lookalike child actor

Iago

The actress is 18 years old so I guess that could be her hand, but she is probably cobel or cobel’s daughter, I don’t know, it would be strange if the name of the episode was just for the message on the pc. Tomorrow we might get more clues, episode is named goodbye ms selvig

JotaroDrake

they got maybe from arrested development in this now lmfaooooooo

JotaroDrake

nigga is that Keanu ????😂😂😂

JotaroDrake

i hope Mark gets to be with his wife before the show ends

Guav

KEANUUUUUUU

GojosHoho

I find it hard to believe it's been an whole 5 months 🧐and they still have that lady name on the computer 💀 either that or they don't care about milkshake at all😂😂💀

Joni A

She said that because she was lying about what she actually saw. The way she almost angrily says that outie and innies are not the same confirms she's mad at her outie self.

John Travelle

I don’t think they’ve been letting their outies go home. Milchick told Mark the rest of his team refused. Then we learned they were all gone for “5 months.” But they all ended up coming back at the same time, all on the same day? I feel like the team’s been in holding for more than 5 months, probably some years, and that kid is Mark’s daughter. I think they’re trying to turn them into the same thing they had going on with Ms. Casey. And the process been started because the shit they keep putting into boxes on the computer is the memories that keep trying to rise up in their innies heads from the outside world. But when they pulled that stunt however long ago, it expedited shit.

Devin reid

Spanish and Italian are very close in dialect lupa so I can see the confusion

General Crisp

Milchick literally said "Sure if you take the name of the room at face value" in response to asking if they actually got to meet their family. So NO WAY they get to meet their family. If Ms. Casey is anything to go on, they've got a whole fleet of bodies underground they can use to pose as "family members" when the time comes.

Flynnrir

So the idea of choosing the numbers that cause fear is deleting the memories that the outie want to forget?

Bob Loblaw

Even if the girl isnt severed she shouldnt be working a 9 to 5 lol

Zephyrs

After seeing Lupas emotions when seeing the numbers screen paused at the end, I think we as a community can confirm that Roshi severs Paul for the trio reactions. Lupa is his innie

General Grevious

Am I tripping or did that voice sound like Keanu Reeves???

EJ Katt

Not Keanu Reeves voicing the building.

2A2

I had to jump down to the comments to say I may be on the outtie Helly being on the inside now because when she came off the elevator and was hugged by Mark, she acted hesitant to hug back even though innie Helly initiated the kiss during their last interaction

2A2

For Ms. Huang, I also suspect she could be the child of Mark and Ms. Casey. It’s possible they have some kind of genetic testing/tech going on to maybe create and control people from day 0 to make the perfect employees or something. Or , because of how she answered the “why are you young” question, maybe she was a normal person, severed early, but is actually much older than she appears? Like something with Ms. Cobel was so strange and I can’t remember if it was speculated her, but I always wondered if she had been an early severance experiment which made her have that strange personality fealty towards Kier? Can’t wait to watch the next eps!

Bryan Steger

yall needa watch DARK plssssssss probably one of the best if not the best show on netflix

Derrick Vang

That lumon building character in the animation they watched sounds like Keanu Reeves.

Derrick B

I love that we got to see Maybe (spl) from Arrested Development for a bit. I hope she comes back
