10 Lingering Questions After the Staggering Season 2 Finale of “Severance”

Warning: This article contains spoilers from season 2 of Severance.

After weeks of wondering what the hell was going on (and coming up with our best theories), we finally got a few answers from the wild season 2 finale of Severance. We now have a vague sense of what Lumon’s endgame is with the severance chip — it seems like they’re trying to create a product that will allow people to avoid any and all pain and trauma by creating innies to handle life’s messier moments for them — and we also got some answers about how the Mammalians Nurturable department fits in with everything.

It was a stunning, supersized episode that featured everything from an unexpectedly bloody hallway battle to Mr. Milchick body-rolling his way through a marching band routine. But of course, we were never going to get all the answers we wanted. (That’s what season 3 is for, right?) For every bit of resolution, there was a handful of new questions raised. We’ve outlined the biggest ones we’re left scratching our heads over as we wait for the show to return.
