Mark doesn't know what a deviated septum is. Interesting

And the haircuts are from the 70s.

and do the outies ever see actual daylight? All the outside scenes are at night.

Watching the most recent episode now and with Irving at Burt’s place we’ve got an impressive trio of actors: John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and John Noble.

You see them driving to work in the daylight. There is also weekends.

Why not. They really do not show much of her outie life, we are just assuming she does not drive. She may have have a bad arse car collection.

So now Helena Egan knows that outie Mark knows who she is.

Lumon is a step ahead.


Mark may have not known who she was, maybe her name but not appearance. The OTC incident kind of changed her publicity profile.

They should have added Ian McKellen, but made him heterosexual.

Episode notes:

During the dinner at Berts when they talking about going to heaven together you def got a Black Mirror - San Juipero vibe.

Feel like If you gonna take the risk to frick Helly at work, you gotta go all the way and get fully nude. If you've learned one thing in life it's that you gotta go all in here or you'll regret it.

Ms. Huang and Nattie gotta be some kind of droid / replicants.

Still don't trust that jailhouse basement doctor.

She’s the apparent functional head of Lumon. She’s not traipsing through an enormous parking lot to her car. She also has a car and driver, as we saw during her last encounter with Cobel.

Yes. Helena was in parking lot in ep1 to see if Mark Scout would recognize her after seeing Helly R all day.

We didnt know who she really was at that point in the story.

Likely a planned test to the viability of the severance procedure

I need to rewatch this. I thought he did a good job covering. I thought she introduced herself in the restaurant?

This has probably been suggested but as has been said ITT the innies have a somewhat random amount of real world knowlesge. Is the work they’re doing editing out memories or whatever in people’s minds so they know the bare minimum to be the perfect severed employee?

IMO the tent scene harks back to Helena watching the CCTV when Helly kissed Mark spontaneously as she's leaving right before the OTC incident. You could see her astonishment. Helena saw in Helly a freedom she's not experienced because she comes from a long line of psychopaths.


She definitely did not have a normal childhood and probably not a single regular relationship to this point based on her bloodline. She was definitely jealous of her innie.

quote:

Something deep down in Helena is connected to Helly and their common attraction to Mark. It also occurred to me there's a chance Mark gets Helena/Helly pregnant.


Based on the intro, I would say there is a good chance she gets pregnant, from either of the hookups.

quote:

I also knew immediately last night when the blurry figure entered the diner that it was Helena. And as Mark was about to take his leave, Helena seemed to be wanting him to say something, perhaps some recognition beyond his knowledge of who she is as an Eagan.


This was shown in the trailer leading up to the new season but yeah it was definitely a test.

quote:

P.S. Anyone remember after Helly's first day, before we knew she was an Eagan, that Mark almost ran her over in the parking lot after their shift? Why would have outie Helena Eagan been walking through the parking lot after work as if she was going to her car?



I would guess Helena did not have that big of a role within the company at that point, she took on the responsibility as her first big assignment as the next leader. Probably wouldn't be a point for her to have a driver and all that until she was officially announced.

Once she went up the elevator she was Helena again.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. Do you think it was Helena or Helly R in the parking lot?

P.P.S. I just noticed at the end of the title sequence that an infant-sized Burt crawls in front of Mark.



I think that's meant to be Kier Eagan. Which would make sense if he gets Helena pregnant.

I’ll try to clarify.

Ep 1, we see Helly R’s outie in parking lot. We only knew her at that time as Helly R’s outie. We didn’t know anything else about her outside severed life.

Since then, we understand that person was actually Helena Egan in the parking lot in ep1.

I don’t see why Helena Egan would be in Lumon parking lot alone at that moment, unless it was to re-check Mark Scout and the severance process.

So it is Helena? And her intent is to see if severed really worked - as in, outie Mark doesn't recognize innie Helly R?

I do understand that.

If Helena was doing this experiment on herself to prove her worth to Jame and Lumon, I can easily see her walking into the parking lot without a driver and pageantry. It's not that crazy of a thought.
