Yep, you guessed: there was another transporter mishap.

Meanwhile, Kirk's in Gotham City making out with Catwoman.

In the Lynes portrait, Lancaster sits facing the viewer at a table on the left; occupying the picture's right side is a wooden chair with a curved back. Closed louvres behind Lancaster shut out sunlight and render the interior dim. Lynes shot from a dis-tance, allowing the viewer to see the actor's feet under the table. What gives the image its power is the actor's face receding into shadow, distant from the picture plane. Still visible is the sensual open mouth, ready to take a cigarette, and the actor's steady gaze, with its sense of withholding. Lancaster gives nothing away, making his allure a mystery and a challenge.

 I got me an idea Will. You don't mind if I call you Will, do you? What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet.

Imagine a transgender Severed worker

What if a severed trans person woke up on the table and instantly knew what gender they were, even if their outie hadn't quite figured it out yet? Maybe a trans man wakes up in that elevator every day wearing a skirt and blouse and desperately hopes one day his outie will figure it out soon and stop wearing stuff that's so dysphoria inducing.

Or what if that's why they're severed in the first place? Mark severed because he wanted to get away from the grief about his wife, maybe there's a severed trans woman that did the same thing. Maybe she decided to undergo the severance procedure just so that for 8 hours a day she wouldn't have to be in her body anymore, someone else would. God it would suck if she was doing voice training but her innie didn't know how to do that, so she wouldn't be able to practice while at work.

Maybe there's an outie that knows they're nonbinary, but their innie doesn't know because the Lumon handbook doesn't mention anything about more than two genders, so their innie is just stuck feeling really weird about gender and not knowing why or what to do about it.

Idk if Severance ever explore this kind of thing but I'd love for them to somehow

Pouty, more round faced, Robin from early New Teen Ttians is definitely channelling Burt Ward (Which George Perez cheerfully acknowledged)

Original Caption: Gorgeous George and Burt "The Killer" Lancaster, at a 1948 charity wrestling event in Santa Monica. Bob Hope stands in for Jefferies, assuming the role of George's valet. It seems there's a midmatch phone call for the master.
