Who Is Asal Reghabi?
First introduced in season 1 episode 6 Hide and Seek, Reghabi was a Lumon employee who went rogue.
Its because of this reintegration work that her path crosses with Mark.
Petey claims to be undergoing the reintegration procedure and wants Marks help in joining a resistance against Lumon.
Unfortunately Petey eventually dies from complications of reintegration.
We were interrupted, if you recall, Reghabi tells Mark in this episode of their first meeting.
Indeed we do now recall.
What Is Reintegration?
Apparently the switch from outtie to innie dilates the pupils to provide a clean visual slate anyway.
As Reghabi tells it, reintegration is a way to sew together the innie and outtie consciousnesses.
Here, she tries to assure him that shes fine-tuned the process even further.
But what exactly is that process?
It looks quite similar to the sci-fi ritual of the severance procedure itself.
One frequency, two waves per oscilloscope.
The waves arent in sync.
Not yet, anyway.
(Asal Reghabi), What was your mothers name?
(Fern Scout), and What is something for which you feel shame?
(Left the gate open and the family dog died).
Its not until the What month is it?
question that it becomes clear that reintegration is beginning to take hold.
You mean what quarter?
some semblance of innie Mark responds through outtie Marks mouth.
One can only hope that Reghabi has indeed worked out all the kinks.
The first three episodes of Severance season 2 are available to stream on Apple TV+ now.
New episodes premiere Fridays, culminating with the finale on March 21.
