What role do Sandra Bernhard and Robby Benson play in Severance season 2?
Severance season 2 episode 7, titled Chikhai Bardo, focuses on Gemma, who has been held captive on Lumon's testing floor. The episode starts with Mark and Gemma meeting for the first time at their college campus during a blood donation drive. It also shows glimpses of the testing floor through a series of flashbacks.
Viewers also meet Dr. Mauer, played by Robby Benson, who appears fixated on Gemma. His partner, nurse Cecily, played by Sandra Bernhard, is cold towards Gemma, and asks her a series of random questions, including, 'If you were caught in a mudslide, would you be more afraid of suffocating or drowning?'
Dr. Mauer plays different characters in different situations with Gemma, including her husband in the Christmas scenario and a dentist in another. When Gemma visited the IVF clinic with her husband, Dr. Mauer was also there, which indicated that these doctors have a bigger role in Lumon.
