On Severance Season 2 Episode 2, “Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig”

Episode 2 is written by Mohamed El Marsi and is directed by Sam Donovan

In the aftermath of the OTC at the end of Season 1, “Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig” follows the Outies and Lumon leadership as they all cope with the 39 minutes the Innies appeared on the outside. 

Helena sends Milchick to fire Dylan and Irving, but also to convince Mark S. to come back to work. Helena (along with Drummond) meets with Cobel and apologizes for how Lumon treated her. She offers her a promotion on the Severance Advisory Council, but Cobel does not accept, wanting to return to the severed floor. 

Mark decides to quit Lumon even though Devon has suspicions that Gemma might still be alive based on Innie Mark’s comments. Milchick convinces him to return with a large raise and a promise that his Innie’s happiness will someday surface. 

Dylan tries to get a job at a door factory, but they won’t hire him because he is severed. Irving makes a mysterious phone call to someone about Lumon, and Burt is seen observing him. 

After Innie Mark’s demands to the board about getting his team back, Dylan and Irving are rehired and Helena also goes back to work. 

The episode ends with Mark running into Cobel and he asks her what she knows about Gemma, but she just drives off furiously.
