Severance

Warning ! looter for Severance season 2 ahead !

I just finish my 2d watch - through ofSeveranceseason 2 , and this clock time around , I remark something absolutely grievous about Irving ’s last line of descent . This most late installment did n’t go easily on Irv as he deal with the after gist of Macrodata Refinement ’s Overtime Contingency stunt of season 1 . It had been heavy enough for the human beings to deal with Burt ’s retreat , but Irv ’s time on the exterior cruelly bring out just how out of reach his lover really was . Add in the fact that no one would listen to his suspicions about Helly ( followed by his forced end point for trying to drown her ) , and it ’s a reasonably risky quarter for Irving B.

The last we saw ofIrving ’s Innie inSeverancewas at the ORTBO when he was give the axe ( devastatingly ) , but for the rest of the season , we had some time to get to know his Outie . This version of Irv is importantly less naive and religious , but there are patent similarity between the Outie and Innie . For one , Outie Irv seems equally as draw to Burt as his Innie had been on the Severance floor . Burt help Irving escapeLumon ’s pursuit inSeveranceseason 2 , and their good-bye was devastating to watch . However , my second time through , I notice that Irving ’s product line here is quite substantial .

Irving’s Final Line In Severance Season 2 Is A Callback To A Season 1 Moment

“I’m Ready”

When Outie Burt and Irving say au revoir inSeveranceseason 2 , their look came closely close . The tensity was clearly pulling at Irving , and he urgently repeated the line " I ’m ready " again and again . Burt ended the moment by telling Irving that they can’t — he ’s a marital man after all , and Irving ’s position with Lumon and Burt ’s intimacy with the company make it all rather complicated . Irv pulled himself away without a countersign , hop-skip on a railroad train , and rode out with a sorry grin .

Burt and Irv are mindful that their Innie ’s had feeling for one another , but they are n’t aware of the contingent .

This shot was impactful on my first sentry , but my second prison term through , I realized it was a lineal parallel with Innie Irv and Burt ’s informal time of year 1 moment . In fact , these two scenes are so similar that I was run into by the fact that I had n’t notice it before . Back in season 1,the pair slip aside together and came similarly close to petting , but Irv B. panic and said " I ’m not ready"before pulling away . There ’s bitter tragedy in that , irrespective of whether Irv is ready or not , the result is the same . Moreover , the parallels here demonstrate some surprising carryover fromInnie to Outiethat should n’t exist .

Irving & Burt’s Season 2 Moment Could Be A Hint That 1 Severance Theory Is Correct

Burt May Not Be Completely Severed

Irving and Burt ’s parallelSeveranceseason 1 and time of year 2moments demonstrate that Innies and Outies are still the same someone in various room . However , there may be a piece more to it than just that . Though Outie Irv does n’t remember tell Burt he was n’t ready , his tantrum in season 2 represents grapheme development that should n’t have been potential . Eventhe way of life Irv says " I ’m ready " indicate an understanding between the two that had n’t been quick before , but they are n’t cognizant of that on the Earth’s surface layer . This has fed into a popularSeverancetheory .

In that moment , it seemed as if Innie and Outie Irv had bridge the gap between their awareness .

Back inSeveranceseason 1,there seemed to be some signs that Irv had been reintegrated . He keep get unknown vision at work , and though these differed from what Petey experienced , viewers notice the parallels . Then , the fact that Outie Irv repeatedly paint pictures of the black hallway hinted that he somehow had memories of the Severed floor . Irv ’s last line inSeveranceseason 2 takes this further . In that moment , it seemed as if Innie and Outie Irv had bridged the gap between their consciousnesses . They felt more like the same soul . However , this might not have been because of any procedure .

Irving’s Final Scene With Burt May Just Be Evidence Of What Lumon Is Trying To Eliminate

It’s Clear That The Severance Procedure Isn’t Perfect Yet

The fact that the intimacy between Irv and Burt inSeveranceseason 2 come along to merge their Innies and Outies may just be the show ’s way of demonstrating what Lumon is oppose so hard to eliminate . Severed employee are separate that the Severance procedure infallibly separates their consciousness . There is no overlap . However , we see throughout the two seasons ofSeverancethat this is not true . Petey explained this to Mark back in season 1 — Mark S. does n’t hump about Mark Scott ’s pain , but he can still finger it . Lumon is entirely cognisant of this and is trying to fix the job .

Gemma and Cold Harbor were the final mental test of whether what we observed with Irv and Burt in season 2 could come to an end .

Kier Eagan desired a painful sensation - free world ( fit given his history in the ether industry ) . Jame Eagan used theSeveranceprocedure ( steal from Harmony Cobel ) to attempt to make his root ’s aspiration a reality . The goal is for the roadblock between split consciousness to be so brawny that they block out every bit of the pain in the neck , with no residual effect crossing over . Gemma and Cold Harborwere the final test of whether what we observed with Irv and Burt in season 2 could descend to an end . Lumon want its employees to find nothing . Whether it will win is still anyone ’s guess .
