Severance Season 2 is getting more exciting as we approach the next episode, "The After Hours." This is the second-to-last episode of the season, and there's a lot of mystery still left. The past few episodes have given us many answers, but there are still some big questions. Here are the five biggest questions fans are asking as we get closer to Episode 9.
1. What is the Wintertide Fellowship?
In previous episodes, we’ve heard about the Wintertide Fellowship, but we still don’t know much about it.
- Miss Cobel was once a Wintertide Fellow, and we know that she helped create the severance procedure at Lumon.
- Mr. Milchick mentioned that Miss Huang might be "Wintertide material," meaning she could be chosen for the fellowship.
- We still don’t know what the fellowship is about, what its goals are, or what special ceremony is involved.
- It’s possible that we will learn more about it in this episode or in the season finale, “Cold Harbor.”
2. Will Miss Cobel Successfully Help Mark?
In Episode 8, we learned that Dr. Reghabi had been trying to reintegrate Mark, but she failed.
- Miss Cobel now seems to be helping Mark. She is going to his sister Devon’s house to fix the problems caused by Dr. Reghabi.
- But we don't know if she will succeed or if she has her own hidden agenda.
- Miss Cobel seems angry at Lumon, but is she really on Mark's side? It’s unclear whether she is a friend or a foe.
- It will be interesting to see if she can truly help Mark or if she has other plans.
3. Will Mark Find Gemma in This Episode?
We now know that Gemma (played by Dichen Lachman) has joined Lumon, but she wants to leave. She isn’t completely severed and still has some memory of her outside life.
- Mark wants to find her, but Lumon will try to stop him from doing so.
- The episode titled “Cold Harbor” suggests that we might not see Gemma’s rescue until the season finale.
- There’s also a teaser for Episode 9 that shows a fight between two women, which could hint at a conflict between Helena Eagan and Helly R. over Mark.
- It’s likely that Mark’s search for Gemma will be saved for later, but we may see other key developments in this episode.
4. Why Did Miss Cobel Create Severance?
One of the biggest mysteries is why Miss Cobel created the severance procedure.
- It is clear that Jame Eagan took credit for the creation of the procedure, but Miss Cobel was the one who actually developed it.
- We still don’t know the full reason behind her decision to create severance, and it’s a question that fans are eager to understand.
- It’s possible that Miss Cobel will explain more about her motivations in Episode 9 or in the season finale.
5. Will We See Irving B. Again?
Irving B., played by John Turturro, is a fan-favorite character. But after the events in Episode 4, it’s unclear if he’s really gone for good.
- In earlier episodes, Irving seemed to have a relationship with Burt, and he was very unhappy with Lumon.
- After threatening to drown Helena Eagan, Irving’s severed self was let go by Lumon.
- Fans are asking: Is Irving truly gone, or will he return?
- While it’s likely that Irving B. will come back, it might not happen in this episode. Fans are hoping for his return in future episodes.
Conclusion: What to Expect in Episode 9
There’s a lot to look forward to in Severance Season 2, Episode 9. Fans will get more answers about the Wintertide Fellowship, Mark’s reintegration, and Gemma’s fate. The mystery behind Miss Cobel’s motivations may also be explored, and fans are eager to see if Irving B. will return.
The next episode, “The After Hours,” promises to be filled with more twists and reveals, so stay tuned for the shocking developments!
