7Has Helly Been Helena Since Severance Season 2 Began?
Dores Severance Season 2, Episode 4 Mark Helly’s First Appearance?
Perhaps the most urgent question afterSeveranceseason 2 , sequence 4 is whether Helena has been in control since the time of year began . give that this kink has been theorized since the reunification ofSeverance ’s core form of characters , it would not get as a shock if the show let out that the last time Helly was active was during the Lumon jamboree from season 1 ’s final episode .

4Does Irving’s Outie Know That Helly’s Outie Is An Eagan?
Irving’s Innie & Outie Have An Interesting Connection
Another likely question that could be answered die intoSeveranceseason 2 ’s latter one-half is whether Irving ’s Outie knows more about Helly ’s Outie . As was revealed inSeveranceseason 1 ’s ending , Irving make love a passel about his fellow Lumon employee . This could have meant Outie Irving screw about Helena Eagan ’s identity , with the pipe dream inSeveranceseason 2 , episode 4 being a link between him and Innie Irving .
After all , Innie Irving invite " messages " from Outie Irving in the form of dreams .

3Is Helena Really Ashamed Of Herself In Severance?
Or Was She Simply Trying To Live The Lie?
A with child complication ofSeveranceseason 2 , instalment 4 need Helly and Mark ’s relationship . away from the noesis that Ms. Casey is actually Gemma and Outie Mark ’s married woman , the episode featured Mark and " Helly " catch some Z’s together . It is later break that this was Helena , which in and of itself will cause problems for Mark and Helly going forward .

2How Will Lumon Deal With The Helly/Helena Situation In Severance Season 2?
Irving’s Intervention Was Not Part Of Lumon’s Plans
Thanks to Irving exposing Helena , a burn question stemming from the instalment is how Lumon handles the situation going forward . It is clear that removing the Glasgow Block from Helena was not something Milchick or his higher - ups at Lumon intended to do , but that Irving hale their hired man . Now , Helly has render in confusing circumstances and Irving has been fired . With such a act of events , it is interesting to see how Lumon will plow with the situation go intoSeveranceseason 2 ’s latter half .
One possible outcome is that Helena just never returns to the severed base . At some peak , Helly / Helena will have to leave Mark , Dylan , and Milchick . Once this happens and the Outie personality resumes , Helena could consecrate never to involve herself so personally again after the complications it has leaven to have sinceSeveranceseason 1 . This would essentially remove Helly from the show totally , which will doubtless see red Mark and Dylan , the former of whom Lumon need to keep happy for complete Cold Harbor .
Mark ’s young project in Severance season 2 is the mysterious Cold Harbor file , which is connect to Gemma & has a major role in Lumon ’s bigger plans .
If this does not happen , another interrogation is how Lumon handles Helly . It is unmanageable to see Helly returning after everything that has happened to just continue with her MDR work , and it will be difficult for Lumon to stop Mark and Dylan from let out the entire truth to her . All of this just prove how many questions have stem from the Helly twist inSeverance , specifically concerning Lumon ’s plans run forwards .
1Did Lumon Make Helly Sleep With Mark In Severance?
Helena May Not Have Had A Choice
The final major question stemming fromSeveranceseason 2 , episode 4 ’s Helly eddy involve her aforementioned development with Mark . While it remains true that Helena could have slept with Mark to accomplish her own desire for a loving connection , there is a sorry possibility ; Helena could have been asked , or even direct ordered , to sleep with Mark byLumon ’s mysterious board inSeverance . This could have been thrust upon Helena as a agency of realize Mark ’s trust completely under the guise of Helly , though this programme has apparently been upended due to Irving ’s actions .
Nonetheless , if Lumon ’s plan had go off without a hitch , Helena and Mark would have doubtlessly continued to produce closer . This way , Helena could have learned more information about Mark ’s plan to find Gemma and passed it on to Lumon , or persuaded him to finish the Cold Harbor undertaking . By slumber with Mark and realize his trust this way , Lumon ’s design could be furthered , making the seeming erotic love setting just as saturnine for Helena as it is for Mark . Either way , this is just one of the many questionsSeverancehas grow after its big Helly / Helena twist .
