I think I say [ installment ] 10 just before we take up take [ episode ] 10 and 7 . I just recall being like , " Oh wow , this is blend in to be interesting to see the reaction . " evidently , the fan have spend so much meter with Helly R. and Mark S. , and so they ’re invested in that . But after [ installment ] 7 , they ’re also hopefully invested in Mark ’s outie ’s relationship more as well . It ’s a really difficult situation .

It was so wonderful because so much of Gemma for so long had just been little sherd . To really live in that space and lean into that excited backbone for Mark , outie Mark , it was really exciting . It was daunting because I really did n’t want to allow anybody down . I knew the lover were super invested in the show . I have n’t seen people this invested in something for such a long time . The attention they pay to every single item , like zooming into shot and determine little clues , it ’s wild .

Talking to theLos Angeles Times , Britt Lower and Adam Scott also shared their reaction toSeveranceseason 2 ’s ending . Lower compare it to a " dearest hexagon " and , in her thinker , she sees time of year 2 as the oddment of Gemma ’s all 25 innies . Scott blab out about how time of year 2 was always heading toward Mark ’s polar selection , and believes the season ended exactly where it should :

scurvy : in the first place , there was talk that it was going to terminate with just Mark in the hallway , not having made a conclusion . That ’s my first recollection . It ’s so complex . I ’ll just add more pattern — I call back it ’s really like a love hexagon because you have to fetch Ms. Casey into the depiction too , good ? When Dichen crosses that threshold , there ’s on the face of it no more Ms. Casey . I ca n’t imagine she would come back for that knowingness . Plus , you have all of the 23 other consciousnesses that were on the discerp floor that Dichen so attractively lived out . The ending of the series really becomes about all of those different consciousnesses have contrasting desires .

Scott : That was imagine of always as the goal point for the time of year — is the big alternative in the hall — and it was a matter of figuring out how to get there . There was a cosmopolitan sense of the counsel , but as far as the specific mystifier pieces to put into place , that was really figured out after . It just seemed like the logical place to go with innie Mark and outie Mark on this collision form all season . It starts out with their interest aline and passably soon their interests start to diverge . But as far as terminate the time of year before he make a pick , I ’m so glad we did n’t terminate up doing that . I conceive that the time of year ends in the accurate right place .

What Severance Season 2’s Shocking Cliffhanger Ending Means For The Show

Where Do Mark, Helly, & Gemma Go From Here?

As the three headliner discuss , Severanceseason 2 ’s ending place Mark , Gemma , and Helly in a difficult quandary . If innie Mark had leave with Gemma , he realise that his outie would in all likelihood never reelect to Lumon , effectively ending his own universe . Helly confront a similar quandary – if she were to leave , Helena Eagan would also probably have no reason to return to the cut off floor . In turn , it ’s no surprisal that Mark and Helly decide that staying inside Lumon together is preferred to efficaciously terminate their own life , and their relationship .

Severance season 2 finish in the practiced way possible , with a shocking finale that leave key result but sets up many more questions for season 3 .

However , it ’s unclear exactly what Mark and Helly ’s plan is for staying inside Lumon , and how they will hold out . With Mark having sabotagedthe Cold Harbor task , Lumon will belike respond gratingly , and the Eagan family will in all probability want to remember their successor from the severed floor . In turn , it seems that Mark and Helly ’s shaky post will ravel out sooner rather than later . On the other hand , Gemma is technically barren , for now , though there ’s no guarantee that Lumon wo n’t come after her again .
