3 Most Convincing Severance Season 2 Theories You Haven't Thought Of

The second season of Severance recently concluded. The finale answered a few questions. Viewers learned that Mark's work was connected to his wife.

He created new personalities for Gemma, and each time she went through new emotional tests to see how separate her new version was from the original.

It is unclear where the plot will go from here, leaving fans to form their own theories.

1. Milchick Is Actually Destroying the Company

At first glance, the cruel manager and talented dancer seems like a true villain: he is loyal to the company and does not hesitate to pressure employees in any way possible. But why does he change his mind so abruptly in the season two finale?

Milchik offers manager Drummond the chance to "devour feculence" – even if he is unhappy with the work, such harshness toward the boss is surprising.

Perhaps Milchick is in fact a mole who wants to destroy the company from within. Before, he did not have enough power to influence the work. Now that he has been promoted, he has a chance to do some serious sabotage.

2. Mark Will Complete the Reintegration Process

In the middle of the second season, Mark decided to undergo a difficult and dangerous procedure. It was previously shown that Petey went crazy after trying to reintegrate. Mark's process was not completed.

Perhaps Petey's procedure was ruined by the fact that he left Lumon too quickly after his reintegration, excluding his innie and not allowing the two personalities to combine memories. Mark, however, remains in the company for the time being.

It is quite possible that in the third season the process will be completed. Then Mark will become a whole person again. For him, this will mean an even more difficult choice between Helly and Gemma.

3. Ricken Is Somehow Connected to Lumon

The husband of Mark's sister seems like a simple and funny character at first. But even in the first season, it was partly Ricken's book that inspired the Lumon employees to rebel.

Isn't it strange that with such strict company rules, Cobel and Milchick brought a dangerous book into the office and even left it where the innies could find it?

In the second season, Natalie tries to persuade Ricken to write a new version of the book specifically for the company's employees, so that they would be easier to manage. To Devon's surprise and displeasure, her husband seriously considers the possibility.

Partly this is due to his vanity. Or is Ricken somehow connected to Lumon all along? Perhaps that is why Mark and Gemma became the company's test subjects – their loved ones are involved in the Lumon's work.
