How Soon Until Dylan Snaps? And Other Severance Questions.

 

 Seven Severance Questions is a weekly attempt to digest the events of one of television’s twistiest shows by highlighting the weirdest, most confusing, and most important unresolved issues after each episode. There will be theories. Many will be unhinged.

Hello, and welcome back to the severed floor. I hope everyone had a lovely ORTBO. What’s that? The ORTBO went poorly? The company’s heiress seduced an employee while pretending to be her own Innie, then almost got murdered by a wild-eyed co-worker who sniffed out her ruse and revealed it to everyone? Everyone laughed at Kier’s tale of children pleasuring themselves? The marshmallows were wasted? Well, that certainly sounds like something that might have ramifications back at the office.

And yup, as we saw in this week’s episode, it sure did. Irv is indeed gone. Everyone is getting lippy with Milchick. Distrust is at an all-time high. Things are weird and awkward for a show where “weird and awkward” is pretty much the default setting. It doesn’t look like it’s going to get less weird and awkward going forward, either. Buckle in, gang. Milchick is tightening the leash. Mark is having visions. Irv and Burt are going to eat a ham. It’s all very exciting. It also raises some questions. A lot of them. But let’s focus on these seven for now.
