So it is Helena? And her intent is to see if severed really worked - as in, outie Mark doesn't recognize innie Helly R?
Yeah, that was my point.
Just happened to watch ep 1 the other night again. After knowing what we know currently, it just kinda hit as a small “oh shite” moment.

I was just a bit confused on the initial point. I love analyzing the show, so all good.

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.
I think there are probably some other possible explanations, including the creators of the show made a mistake or underestimated how much people would dissect every scene. They wanted that chance encounter to show us that severance does work, they didn't want to tip that Helly was an Eagan and so they wrote a near miss in the parking lot without thinking about it much more than that.
Here's another possible mistake. In Ep. 1 Mark goes to work at 9:05 on the 4th and leaves at 5:25 on the 5th. Some people think it's just a simple oversight while others have some interesting theories. (That same episode Mark "forgets" the dinner-less party, maybe because a whole day passed by without him realizing it)

quote:Hasn’t severance been a viable procedure for several years by this point? And Mark obviously has been there for a while given that he’s made department head after Petey and does Helly’s intake. I don’t have an alternate explanation but I don’t think it’s to test Mark’s procedure.
Likely a planned test to the viability of the severance procedure

Not to test Mark's as much as to test outtie Helena's since hers was just done. And I agree the thought may fall apart in the notion that severance has been going on for many years...but it also seems to be an ever-evolving test to see just how far they can push it.

Why does mark-o not find their conversation in the chinese restaurant weird AF? Obviously hellena knows she she got pounded by mark but i dont think outie mark knows be pounded her does he? Or if he does he would know he couldnt leave a hint that helena knew that. So when she says she wants to take her home to daddie "already" i know that reaction by mark was sarcasm but why wouldnt be totally baffled by that bizarre comment if he had no prior dealings with her really. I mean they both basically acted like they knew about the fricking. I mean if your woman ceo whom youve never conversed with or if so once maybe sits down with you and talks flirtatiously and hints about taking home to daddy youd be like WTF. im confused

nobody on the outside knew he actually was good at his Lumon job so now she's confused about how he can be one way in his normal life and another severed.
But do we know if he's actually good at his job? We don't even know what they're doing.

He ran to his car, drove home and agreed to a risky procedure to speed up his reintegration. He definitely thought the conversation was weird AF.

While the moral implications of the innies and outies sex life are interesting to discuss, I don't want a whole season revolving around it, which seems like it's what we're going to get.

What was up with Fields’ attitude?
The 20 yr mishap comment that Burt had to cover for and justify showed he is tired of it and running his mouth. Love triangle jealousy only or a control freak that is losing control?
Burt is involved much deeper with Lumon.

100%, I'd bet he was likely on the forefront of Severance and helped by some means.
Fields is the dentist we don't see in EP5
Maybe Fields is pissed bc he and Burt had the same relationship on the inside that they do on the outside and Irv screwed that up?
But yes, Burt has more control/influence than we originally thought. You can tell by his reactions to certain statements and the fact that Frolic Tattoo guy isgoing through Irv's house while they are at dinner.

Something I just realized that contributes to this that I haven’t seen discussed - how did Burt know where Irving lived? Someone had to tell him, yes?
Why isn’t Irvin asking how Burt found him anyway?
Lends more evidence to the idea that Burt knows and/or has access to more information than we could initially believe.
The firing may just be a cover.
***possible*** truth.
Burt really did retire. Was really happy and so was his husband.
OTC Irv shows up - wtf for them.
Burt contacts lumen and told get irv out of his house either because Burt is more connected or they promised him something in return.

I'd imagine when a guy shows up on your doorstep, you lookup who the guy is? But he obviously is more connected than that innocent reason.
And Irv knew where all the severed employees lived from his list. Don't know where he got that list from, so you'd imagine that Burt has the same list.

I just saw a comment on another site about the Fields seen in the OTC episode is much heavier than the Fields seen this week. We only saw him through the window from a distance, but he was much heavier before.

Agree, questioned if they were the same person but never went back to look.

Corbel-Milkshake showdown should be epic.

My theory is Burt was predecessor to the tattoo guy looking at irvs trunk.
His “past” is being a fixer for lumen which would not be a savory job.
It also explained why he was easy to track irv down and quick to be help get irv out of the house.
