The Severance season 2 finale is an action-packed spectacle with plenty of goats.
Here’s what it all means.
This article contains spoilers forSeveranceseason 2 episode 10.
Severancehas done it again.
While season two wasnt always fully focused on this objective there are other plotlines, after all!
(like, Apple?
We know youre going to do it, so just do it.)
So, where exactly did we leave everything at the end ofSeveranceseason 2?
Lets break it down.
hey appreciate each answer equally.

What Is Cold Harbor?
Lumon didnt ever want Gemma; they wanted the information they programmed on the chip.
What Happens to Gemma?
Gemma is saved from death by none other than her husband.
Both the innie and outie versions of her husband help with her jailbreak, but still.
Outie Mark sees Gemma for the first time in 4 years (sob!)
and, despite the fact that hes covered in blood, he gets her to come with him.
They escape through the halls, changing into Ms. Casey and Innie Mark when they get to the elevator.
Innie Mark brings Ms. Casey to the stairwell, where she turns back into Gemma.
But Innie Mark doesnt leave.
He spies Helly, and he stays within Lumon while Gemma screams fruitlessly into the window beyond the door.
Why Was Cobel Helping Mark?
Ever since Helena Eagan declined Cobels request to return to the severed floor, Cobel has been on tilt.
It feels like she wants to burn everything down.
I suppose well see if she has any lingering allegiance to the company in season three.
Whats Up With the Goats?
Occams Razor posits that the simplest answer tends to be the correct one.
Many cultures and religions have historically sacrificed goats to the gods for a variety of different reasons.
So, perhaps the goats dont have severance chips in them after all.
Maybe theyre not even being cloned.
Maybe theyre just sacrifices.
This goat, named Emile, gets to live.
How Big is the Severed Floor, Really?
When Mark S. finishes the Cold Harbor file,an entire marching band materializes out of thin air.
Milchick says its the Choreography and Merriment department, and there are oh so many people in it.
Are the hallways actually underground tunnels?
What other departments lurk around every corner?
And, why on earth does the entire severed floor only have a single manager?
Milchick was always set up to fail.
Whats Next for the Innies and the Outies?
There are a few characters that we dont see in this episode, most notably Burt and Irving.
So we definitely wont count Irving out as the story progresses.
Theyre probably both persona non grata at Lumon right now.
I truly hope they find one another and team up in the near future.
If aligned properly, those two might just be unstoppable.
Now, Helly and Mark?
They have chosen chaos.
However, chaos is the only way that they could conceivably survive together.
What could this mean for their future, or the future of the show as a whole?
Innie Mark is just running on love at this point.
All 10 episodes of Severance season 2 are available to stream on Apple TV+ now.
