What is Severance season 2 about?
The second installment of the dystopian mystery series picks up right after the events of the season 1 finale, where Milchick ended the overtime contingency that allowed the innies to awaken in the outside world.
Severance season 2 focuses on the innies grappling with the discoveries they made during the overtime contingency. Mark S. sets on a mission to rescue his outie's wife, Gemma, after realizing she is Lumon's wellness counselor Ms. Casey. Also, his work on the Cold Harbor file is somehow connected to Gemma, who has been living on the testing floor since her unfortunate car crash.
Meanwhile, the outie Mark decides to get reintegrated after learning that Gemma is alive. But, the process takes a toll on his physical and mental health, causing him to experience headaches, hallucinations, and even a seizure.
Dylan meets his outie's wife, Gretchen, at the Outie Family Visitation Suite, and the two develop feelings for each other. Mark and Helly also admit their feelings for each other and sleep together soon after.
Helly's outie, Helena Eagan, enters the severed floor to spy on the innies as Helly until Irving exposes her real identity and gets fired for it. Irving and Burt meet up in the outside world and sparks fly between them, despite the latter being married to Fields.
