Another component play up inSeveranceseason 2 , episode 7 is that the real Gemma is also detain to Lumon ’s Testing Floor .

All of this just show how devastating Gemma ’s life really is inSeverance , as she is even more of a captive and even more tortured than those above her on the severed level .
