Severance fans are beginning to turn on Reghabi and for good reason

Disclaimer: This article contains major Severance spoilers and fan theories are ahead. Reader discretion is advised.

Severance's Reghabi has often been depicted as a rogue scientist with insider info on Lumon's darker side. Mark saw her as a truth-seeking ally, but fans' views are changing. Now, viewers suspect she has shady intentions and acts too rashly, and her presence is a puzzle.

Some fan theories on platforms like X (previously Twitter) and Reddit think she might be making the severance chips fail to tarnish Lumon's image. This could be for personal reasons or a hidden plan. Others find her erratic actions, mysterious talk, and casual approach to killing, like Graner in Season 1, worrying signs that she might not be a hero after all.

One interesting Reddit idea suggests that Reghabi isn't real. She might just be a figment of Mark's split-brain imagination, like Petey's hallucinations. This would change how we see her in the show. Despite some fans still hoping she's just a researcher looking for answers, the growing doubt is clear.

Her possible true colors are making it difficult to trust her.

Severance reintegration surgeon Reghabi’s methods seem reckless

Reghabi is known for her work against Lumon, but some worry about her methods. Many fans think her choice to bring Mark back into his basement was too quick and risky. She didn't take enough time to explain things or keep everyone safe. Her approach to reintegration was criticized for being hasty and lacking in safeguards. The process was done without enough planning.

As one Reddit user noted,

“The shift from the scene in Mark’s car to him actually being reintegrated in his basement was extremely quick.”

Moreover, her lack of regret when killing is disturbing. In the first season, she brutally takes Graner's life, which some people initially consider justified. However, this act now appears to be a window into her questionable moral values.

On X, user @Simon_Pratt12, reminded fans,

“Let’s not forget we’ve seen her bludgeon someone to death with no remorse.”

Others, like @jamie_kop, describe her as

“Vengeful, untrustworthy, and with dark vibes.”

If Reghabi is indeed a freedom fighter, it's puzzling why she is so secretive with Mark. Why doesn't she work with a group of dissenters?

This makes her actual goals even more mysterious.

Mind-bending Severance fan theory questions if Reghabi is even real

A fascinating fan theory suggests that Reghabi is not a real person, but rather a creation of Mark's damaged brain, a la Fight Club! This thought comes from the observation that no main character, except Graner, has had an on-screen interaction with her, and Graner might not have seen her before he was killed.

A Reddit user took this Severance theory further, discussing Petey's hallucinations caused by reintegration. If Mark's brain is also undergoing such changes, Reghabi could be an imaginary figure helping him understand himself better. This theory posits that she acts as a guide through Mark's journey to self-awareness, emerging from the blend of his past and present experiences.

The user speculated:

“With severed brains, it is entirely possible to experience things that are not really happening.”

Some might find it strange how she acts. She shows up at a bridge that Mark has never seen before. She gets him to remember things fast. And she seems to know everything about Lumon. Some think she might just be using his severance chip to find him like Milchick does to locate workers.

Reghabi is mysterious, and it's hard to tell if she's real, a flaky friend, or playing games. Severance fans are now keeping a close eye on her.
