MASSIVE SPOILERS are forward for Severance Season 2, now streaming in full with an Apple TV Plus subscription.
It’s been about two weeks for the reason that Severance finale dropped, and I actually can’t get this present out of my head. I’ve even began to rewatch the collection from the start as we wait to get extra data than we at the moment have on Season 3. (I can’t consider I wasn’t into Season 2 at first because of the lengthy wait!) And because the ultimate moments proceed to replay in my head, I’ve one Helly concept to speak out.
Keep in mind when Mark S. completely broke Gemma’s coronary heart (and mine) by going to Helly and working away along with her? Since my gears have been turning about what might occur subsequent on this very advanced love triangle, it is led me to consider the place issues might go from right here. Time to speak it out.
And within the spirit of the present, please take pleasure in every part of this text equally.
I Can’t Cease Considering About How The Severance Finale Left Issues With Mark And Gemma
After having all of the questions and theories circulating round about Gemma and her reference to Lumon and Chilly Harbor all through the season, I used to be so joyful to lastly perceive that Mark’s spouse has been a check topic of types concerning severance science. It looks like Lumon has been making an attempt out if severance can be utilized as a device to delete trauma from one’s mind. Gemma’s ultimate room (of 24), “Chilly Harbor,” was a direct reference to her greatest trauma concerning infertility and shedding Mark as she was instructed to place collectively the exact same crib Mark was going to place collectively earlier than her “dying.”
After seeing Gemma and Mark undergo a lot ache as a consequence of being aside all through the present, I used to be overjoyed by their reunion and what appeared to be the pair lastly escaping Lumon’s grasp. Nevertheless, Severance then did essentially the most diabolical factor by having Mark return to being his innie simply minutes later and working away from his personal spouse to carry fingers with Helly and run away along with her… The place? I’m undecided, and per creator Dan Erickson to Selection, they don’t appear to “have a plan essentially,” both.
After Helena And Helly Have Each Had Attractive Instances With Mark, I Have A Season 3 Principle
Now, I really feel mortified for Gemma. Simply moments after seeing her husband once more, he ran away from her, and he or she was left alone once more. Alternatively, I can completely perceive what’s occurring with Mark S. He’s in love with Helly R. and doesn’t know another life than what’s on the severed ground. By working away along with her, they’re selecting themselves over Lumon and combating for his or her livelihood. However there’s additionally one other aspect of this that received’t depart my mind: Mark S. has been sexually concerned with each Helly R. and her outie, Helena Eagan in current weeks… and I’m going to guess the innies have by no means attended a intercourse ed class.
So, my concept is that I believe that Helly/Helena might find yourself pregnant through the occasions of Season 3, and that might make issues much more difficult. In that case, it could be Innie Mark’s both approach, and it could solely additional make his case and drive for having his personal life and cause to exist somewhat than reintegrating with Outie Mark.
It Would Break Me If This Occurred And Gemma Discovered Out
If Helly/Helena does turn out to be pregnant with Mark S’s child, it could completely make the entire state of affairs with Gemma worse, since Mark and Gemma’s relationship struggles and traumas previous to her “dying” had been all about infertility. I really can’t consider a extra tousled approach for this love triangle to play out if Gemma turns into embroiled in making an attempt to get Mark again and he or she comes throughout her husband’s Innie making an attempt to maneuver on and begin a household with Helly.
I’m satisfied this may very well be a part of the plotline for a few different causes other than it simply making issues extra difficult and dramatic, too. In fact, you’ve got observed by now that the title credit for Severance Season 2 had a Kier child crawling round, which might signify this proper there. Oh, after which there’s undoubtedly extra occurring concerning Mark and Gemma’s fertility historical past than we learn about for the reason that similar man who was working Gemma’s rooms in Lumon was their fertility physician. And Season 1 is all about Mark’s sister having her first child as effectively. With all that in thoughts, I might be very shocked if Season 3 didn’t discover this thread additional!
Plus, I Can’t Shake How Helena Appears Jealous Of Her Innie
One ultimate level I wish to contact on has to do with Helly’s outie, Helena Eagan. All through Season 2, the collection arrange one thing actually attention-grabbing concerning Helena’s relationship along with her innie and Lumon. I believe one particularly key scene this season is when Helena watches again the second when she and Mark S. kiss at Lumon time and again. The Eagan inheritor additionally doesn’t appear to love her life a lot and clearly has a comfortable spot for him throughout their interactions when she is undercover within the early episodes of Season 2.
With that in thoughts, I’m anxious that not solely Helly R. will proceed to be an issue for Outie Mark and Gemma, however Helena may very well be as effectively. If Helly/Helena had been to turn out to be pregnant with Mark’s child, I might completely see Helena getting concerned (if she’s in a position to) and making issues worse by insisting on having it and coercing Outie Mark into it.
Then there’s the bizarre culty Kier aspect of Lumon Industries, the place I might additionally see Helena’s dad desirous to protect the child in hopes of reincarnating Kier or one thing like that. Throughout one of many finale’s scenes, when Helena’s father spoke to Helly R, he made feedback about how she has the purity of Kier in her, and I might see him and “the board” being all around the new Child Eagan. All that does not even point out the scientific curiosity Lumon may take regarding the first Innie being pregnant.
Anyway, that’s the place my head is at the moment at with Severance after the finale. You possibly can watch CinemaBlend’s Season 2 interviews with the Severance solid as we await what’s subsequent.
