Severance Season 2 Episode 9 Recap

We're alive! Severance is officially back, and so is the We Know Severance podcast here on RHAP. Every week, we recap and theorize about all the latest Lumon Industries mysteries. Make sure you're subscribed at WeKnowSeverance.com, and send feedback into [email protected].

This week, Josh, Dr. Melissa, and Dr. Amanda discuss Season 2 Episode 9 of Severance.

Severance focuses on Mark Scout (Adam Scott), a widower who processes his grief by working for a shadowy company called Lumon. He's part of a team that's undergone "Severance," a controversial procedure that separates a person's work life and personal life with the flip of a brain-implanted switch. Mark Scout's "innie" is Mark S., the Macrodata Refinement division's generally chipper manager, who slowly becomes radicalized by the idea of escaping Lumon for the "outie" world. What does Lumon really want to use Severance for? Why are Mark and his colleagues typing numbers into computers all day, every day? And why are there so many goats? Find out more by listening to the GOAT Severance recap podcast, We Know Severance, hosted by Joshy W, Melly W, and Mandy R.
