Created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller, Apple TV+'s Severance is a psychological thriller launched on February 18, 2022. The show attracted interest because of its original idea and creepy business environment.
Adam Scott's character, Mark Scout, is among the key ones. He works at Lumon Industries, which divides staff members' memories from their jobs. Mark and his colleagues learn sinister facts about Lumon as the narrative continues.
Watching the Season 2 finale on March 21, 2024, should help one to solve several unresolved riddles. Important concerns concerning the goals of Cold Harbor, Lumon's actual motivations, and the fates of Mark and his associates will be resolved. The episode might turn things around since several characters' destinies depend on it.
5 questions that Severance Season 2 finale can answer
Here is a list of the top 5 questions that the season 2 finale is expected to answer:
1. What Is Cold Harbor and Why Does It Matter?
Cold Harbor, a project connected to Mark S.’s work at Lumon, debuted in Season 2. The last episode has to clarify its goal and importance.
Linked to Cold Harbor is Ms. Casey, Dichen Lachman, the presumed-dead wife of Mark. Patricia Arquette's Ms. Cobel stated that finishing Cold Harbor would mean Ms. Casey dies. This calls into question its purpose, like if it is some worse, a memory control program, or an advanced severance experiment.
The season has made hints about Cold Harbor possibly involving permanent memory modification. The last episode will decide whether Mark will bring the project to completion or stop it from being started. Should Cold Harbor be used as a means of disposal for dead workers, Mark might have to make a tough decision.
2. What Are Lumon’s True Intentions?
Severance has presented Lumon Industries as a firm with a secret objective right from the start. Its preoccupation with rigid rules, cutting back, and loyalty to Kier Eagan points to something more general in influence.
In Episode 9, Michael Siberry's CEO, Jame Eagan, confronted Helly R. (Britt Lower) about lying. This moment suggested Lumon had more intentions for severance than first believed.
The last scene has to show Lumon's long-term objective as well as the reason he developed severance. However, the question remains if they are even more nefarious, utilizing severance for corporate control or human experiments. The responses could redefine Lumon's goal and challenge all we currently understand.
3. Can Mark Save Ms. Casey?
Mark has been in tears of mourning over his wife Gemma, only to find she is alive as Ms. Casey. Mark has struggled with reintegration, the process by which work and personal memories interact. Ms. Cobel is willing to help him even though her real motivations are unknown.
The calamity of Ms. Casey directly affects Cold Harbor. The last scene depends on whether Mark can prevent Lumon from rescuing her or not. Should Ms. Casey develop total disengagement, would she even remember Mark? Completing Cold Harbor or finding another means of stopping it could determine Mark's safety.
4. What Will Happen to the Other Microdata Refiners?
Mark's coworkers, Irving (John Turturro) and Helly Dylan (Zach Cherry), have been instrumental in challenging Lumon. Their fates are unknown.
Irving's outing with Burt (Christopher Walken) left town, implying a probable escape from Lumon's grip. Dylan, a possible Lumon target, sought to quit after discovering the personal hardships of his life.
The last episode has to decide if the MDR crew will flee or stay under Lumon's rule. Helly is still imprisoned within the institution, and her confrontation with Jame Eagan could turn everything around.
5. Will Ms. Cobel Betray Lumon?
Originally a devoted Lumon enforcer, Ms. Cobel—Patricia Arquette—has grown erratic. Her behavior in Season 2 points to her maybe turning against the company.
Episode 9 exposed her background as a high-ranking Lumon member and Wintertide Fellow. Her mounting misgivings about the company's goals raise a crucial issue: Does she have her own goals, or is she seeking to destroy Lumon?
Cobel is aware of the company's darkest secrets. The last scene has to show whether she has another plan or whether she will apply her knowledge to assist Mark and his team.
