And that break is necessary because, wow.
What follows are 20 questions we still have after the end ofSeveranceseason two.
Some are serious, some are not.Some have answers, and some do not.
Let’s grab some coffee and talk Severance.Image: Apple TV+
But all should help fill that void since there are no new episodes on the immediate horizon.
In fact, lets start there and of course, beware of spoilers.
When, oh when, is season 3?
Mark’s choice. Image: Apple TV+
Heres the good news.
On the heels of the season two finale,Apple officially announced season three is happening.
Heres the bad news: it might take a while.
Mark’s choice. Image: Apple TV+
Whats going to happen to Gemma?
There are so many possibilities.
Are Mark and Helly basically stuck on the severed floor?
Image: Apple TV+
As for Helly R.Helena Eagan loathed the idea of her in the first place.
Theres no way shes going to become an MDR worker bee ever again.
That doesnt mean they both wont be forced off the severed floor, though.
Dylan has a decision to make – Apple TV+
What will their outies do when they find out?
Assuming they do get out.
There is a chance the innies figure out some way to endure.
See you soon, maybe? Image: Apple TV+
Theyd likely have the knowledge that their innies are in love and basically blew up Lumon.
Mark will want to see Gemma.
Helena will probably want to run very, very far away from her father.
What a creep. Image: Apple TV+
And at least Mark will probably feel very guilty about it.
Or maybe he wont.
He could continue with reintegration as promised, or get a better idea of what that means.
Woe’s Hollow was quite the episode. Image: Apple TV+
Helena could kill her innie forever.
Cobel tells Mark that once Cold Harbor is done, he and his severed team are done too.
Helena Eagan clearly doesnt want to return but there are lots of other people down there.
Was no one else working at Lumon?
That Lumon office building is awfully largeas its accompanying parking lot.
What will Marks actions mean for Lumon and its employees?
Lumon is a massive company.
Its more than just Cold Harbor and macrodata refining.
Only, we dont know what relationship Lumon has with most of the outside world.
There are also many other employees working there in various mysterious and likely unsevered capacities.
Theyd probably prefer to not lose their jobs because one department did something so evil.
It will be interesting to see the fallout of Gemmas escape.
Are the goats safe now?
Adorable Emile survived being sacrificed.
Will innie Dylan quit or will he stay?
Its his only job as far as we know.
The problem is everything that happened with Mark, Helly, Mr. Milchick, and the rest.
If Dylans innie does stay, itll likely be in a new role.
How will Irving return?
ButJohn Turturro himselfthinks theres more of Irvings story left to explore.
Wed also like to know why Irv was having such vivid visions of the exports hall.
A reunion with Burt would also be nice!
Is Mr. Milchick going to rebel?
Will we see Miss Huang again?
Will Eustace Huang turn into an angry adult with Lumon-focused revenge on her mind?
It took decades for Harmony Cobel to get there, and she had much bigger reasons to be angry.
At the very least, we can hope Miss Huang gets to play her theremin in peace now.
Will Harmony Cobel continue to fight Lumon and to get her credit for severance?
She described herself as an ally to Mark and Devon as they planned their Gemma jailbreak.
Why were Mark and Gemma chosen for Cold Harbor?
And, when we asked Erickson about it, he refused to answer.
Always a good sign.
What the hell is up with Jame Eagan?
His reaction to Cold Harbors spectacular implosion was a season-two comedic highlight, however.
What are other MDR departments doing?
The finale revealed specifically what Mark was doing with the MDR numbers.
But its not clear if thats what everyone in MDR is doing.
And we mean both in the room with Mark, as well as other rooms.
This season revealed there are severed MDR employees all over and they werent all working on Gemma.
Are there other Gemma-punch in captive test subjects not just in this building, but others?
Is each refiner working on a specific person?
Or are the other employees literally doing nothing just to trick one important one?
Its unclear but very interesting to think about.
We asked Erickson about it and he didnt want to say.
What were Lumons plans with Cold Harbor?
Heres what we think we know about Cold Harbor.
One, everyone at Lumon thought it was going to change the world.
Two, it allowed a severed chip to render a human completely obedient.
Who wouldnt want the ability to, basically, control human beings to behave like lemmings?
Thats how we see it at least.
The show could always flip things.
What the hell is up with Woes Hollow?
There were also marshmallows.
Basically, we have no idea.
How does the department of Choreography and Merriment work?
Is this a full-time job?
Does Lumon also train non-severed marching bands to celebrate at public events?
What are the limits of severance?
We know about the overtime contingency.
Weve seen the Glasgow block.
