Outie Dylan, swallowing his pride and deciding to tell his innie that he’s actually pretty cool despite the wife smooching debacle: I’m proud of you and while I’ll respect your decision if you want to resign I think you should make it work there because I don’t want you to die

Dylan G: *immediately hits his boss with a vending machine*

On the Severance podcast, they talked about this scene.

Adam and Britt were emotionally wrecked during the filming, which lasted most of the day. They couldn’t stop crying. When Ben Stiller walked over to give Britt notes, his eyes were full of tears while watching them.

Britt: “I remember it being an emotional day. The lights were low. It created a mood. It felt like there was an ending coming. It felt like we were working on this show for 4-5 years. I couldn’t stop crying. This was a goodbye scene.”

Adam: “I remember looking at the computer screen, and then I finally look over at you, Britt, and you were just a wreck — I felt very connected to you. We were just really in it. We were just really in the show. And it was our whole lives. This really meant a lot, this moment, we had to fucking… say goodbye. It was so sad.”

Britt: “It felt like time travelling to me. It was time travelling back in time and forward in time. At the same time. Imagining the first scene we ever shot at MDR. And then time travelling and imagining the last scene. And then it’s like I’m sixteen, now I’m my age, now I’m seventy…”

"What the hell is Severance even about?" Don't worry about it

i think they should've dropped a cold harbor teaser trailer that was just a 60 second uncut clip of this segment. can you imagine what hell that would've brought upon the theory ecosystem

severance season finale and it's the same but there's a cobel-cam in the corner showing what harmony is up to at any given point (during mark's argument with himself it's just 10 minutes of cobel and devon aggressively making out)

#MILCHICK: don't i get a dream for myself?

Hey by the way … still kind of crazy about that interaction between Helly and James Eagan at the beginning.

Imagine telling your daughter’s innie that you see in her the fire of Kier that her outie lost through the years.

Imagine suffocating your daughter’s soul for thirty years, killing her slowly one day at the time through abuse and manipulation, only to stand in front of the version of her that exists WITHOUT the pain you inflicted her, only to tell her that she is what you wanted your daughter to be.

I’m going fucking crazy.

I am a person. You are not.

These interviews by the creator of Severance offer so much context behind the Season 2 finale.

Mark and Helly are described as “young love running into the pit of hell” together.

They chose to stay alive instead of serving people they have no emotional connection to. At the beginning, Mark was mechanically searching for this person out of responsibility. He cuts himself free.

This ending was always planned, and the connection between Mark and Helly in Season 1 was always meant to flourish into a real thing.

Mark does the right thing and frees Gemma, but that doesn’t mean he himself has to choose nonexistence. (Which means no more Severance show.)

They debated whether it would be a cliffhanger or not. They decided not to make it a cliffhanger. But a freeze frame, inspired by 60s and 70s grindhouse films. (Very violent and stylistic films.)

This era of cinema is notable for inspiring Quentin Tarantino. It blend elements like shocking / over-the-top violence, outrageous plots, audacious themes (taking bold risks), unconventional storytelling and a retro aesthetic.

According to Dan and Ben, this episode signals a tone switch in the series going forward. Likely leaning more towards higher stakes, violence and thriller.

Red represents “real love.” (We already knew this from previous episodes since the show’s production designer mentioned adding red in scenes between Helena Eagen and Mark Scout on the outside, as well as Mark and Helly / Helena on the inside.)

Dan Erickson: Hopefully, part of the audience is rooting for Innie Mark and part of the audience is going to be like, “Oh my God, Gemma! Mark could just go through that door!”

What does that mean for the show going forward?

Erickson: I don’t think they have a plan, necessarily, for what they’re running toward. They know what they’re running from, which is nonexistence, because they’ve both come to the conclusion that you said. They’re making a choice that they want a life, whether that is five more minutes or five more years. Whatever it is, they want to continue to exist. If they want to continue to have a life together, they’re going to have to find a way to stay on that floor.
