The emotional recall of Severance Season 2 Episode 9 is deeper than you thought

What is for dinner, children? Main poiler Follow the latest episode of “Severance”.

The second season of “severance pay” moves completely towards another explosive final in which the tongues wag but do not make a mistake: this show always led the journey and not through the goal. The brilliant, flashback-high-quality episode 7 I had no doubt how slowly the relationship between Mark Scout (Adam Scott) and Gemma (dense Lachman) played, most of which was deliberately held back for most two seasons, paid off dividends by waiting for the perfect moment to unleash the full scope of their history. In a similar way, an episode like “Sweet Vitriol” of the past week could only have worked (Despite our personal reservations) after as much time as with Patricia Arquettes (half) malignant harmony Cobel.

Now we finally see one of the emotional subordinates of the series – the tragic romance between Irving B. (John Turturro) and Burt G. (Christopher Walken) – pay off in a large way, with a recall that contains far more layers than they may have realized. The penultimate episode of season 2 entitled “The After Hours” initially unfolds in a threatening note. While he meets her creepy father Jame Eagan (Michael Siberry), Helena (Britt Lower) notes that “we see Mr. Bailiff”, which points out that the undesirable investigation of Lumon Industries activities will not remain unpunished by Irving Outie. As soon as the “Goon”, who deals with him, has turned out to be no other than Burt Goodman, it is easy to imagine very Dark conclusion.

Fortunately, “severance pay” knows exactly how to draw on our hearts. Irving and Burt’s Outies ultimately came as sad as their innies … Although with proper closure this time and in the sixth episode of his debut season back at a very specific moment. In addition, this reference is also appears We had a fairly fascinating theory, we had all the time.

The best kind of references and recalls are usually those who do not even feel like it at the moment, but immediately get richer layers as soon as we recognize what they were all the time. The highlight of Episode 9 does this with serenity and, in all likelihood, prepares the stage for a million and half fan edits that cut between two similar moments between Irving and Burt. Do you remember the first season when Irving B. Mark S. and the rest of the refinement of Macrodata to an exploration mission to the competing department, which is known as Optics & Design, is known? Although this is the basis for The Mystery cards that would be solved in season 2The true emotional weight of this bow came from the sweet love story between Irving and Burt. In Episode 6 with the title “Hide and Seek”, Burt shows his affection by bringing irving into a secret room with plants. The two almost Complete your feelings with a kiss, but the inexperienced Irving holds back at the last moment and unfortunately admits: “I’m just not ready.”

Does that sound familiar? It should because season 2 brings us the circle at the moment in the most heartbreaking way. Apparently Irving died (with Burt, who adds the wound to the wound that drives him there) arrives at a train station where the now control offers him the chance to flee. The two get another quiet moment to face and recognize their feelings for each other, although Irving Outie always proclaimed “I’m ready” this time, while Burt is the one who is sorry. The scene could not be more conscious for your moment alone in the plant room, in another example of how the boundary of the demarcation between Innys and Outies could be somewhat blurred than we used to think.

In fact, this is also the reason why this stubborn reference could be even deeper than we recognized.

Which other show could of course offer several farewell to the same character in a completely unexpected way? Probably the same thing that could also sneak up in A possible Note more evidence of a longstanding theory about a fan favorite character in the middle of a warm moment. As always, “severance pay” is an experience that contains a variety.

Has season 2 only confirmed what we consider to be confirmed? /The film’s own Pauli Poisuo once wrote about the theory that Irving actually went through the reintegration process Long before Mark Scout ever tried careful supervision under Asal Reghabis (Karen Aldridge). That would certainly answer some unanswered questions, e.g. B. Why Irving’s Outie knows about the secret hallway, which was rebuilt in Lumon in his paintings or why he apparently increases a kind of exposé in Lumon’s activities. It would also dissolve a loose thread that was introduced in this latest episode. Namely: How does Irving apparently remember the earlier interaction of his innies with Burt’s? Yes, there is always the possibility that the recurring use of this dialogly line “I am ready/I am simply not ready” as a thematic flowers and not as next to each other, which he is not aware of at any level. But listen to us, what if this is even more fuel for the fire than he experiences memories, like Mark, when his two separated halves come together in a whole?

If it is true, this urgent image of Irving Outie (and its beautiful dog) may not say goodbye that it certainly feels. Irving and his investigation by Lumon could easily be written out of the show because his relationship with Burt was closed. Alternatively, more can be examined here. If Burt is now on the run, he could either appear in the final or in the final or not again At some point in season 3 To help Mark and the rest of your friends in your rebellion against Lumon Industries?

Take a strap on people because the final of the second season of “severance pay” on Friday, March 21, 2025, Apple TV+ meets.
