On Severance Season 2 Episode 6, “Attila”

Episode 6 is written by Erin Wagoner and is directed by Uta Briesewitz

Dylan tells Mark and Helly about discovering Irv’s directions to the Exports Hall, but the plan to go get them is interrupted when Mark starts flashing back and forth between innie and outie.

After giving control of the floor to Miss Huang, Mr. Milchick gets some reps in on placing paperclips the right way and then aggressively practices using shorter words. In a private moment, Mark confesses to Helly that he and Helena had sex at the ORTBO. After some initial shock, Helly decides she wants her own memory of that and she and Mark sleep together in an empty office.

Gretchen visits Dylan again and she appears to be falling for the innie version of Dylan. The two share an intimate moment and then she lies to outie Dylan, telling him the visit was cancelled.

While Irv goes to dinner at Burt and Fields’ house, Mr. Drummond goes through Irv’s things and finds a list of Lumon employees. While at dinner, Irv learns more about why Burt got severed but is given a confusing timeline by Fields.

When Dr. Reghabi tells Mark they should accelerate the reintegration despite the risks, Mark angrily leaves to eat. At a restaurant, Helena confronts him in a friendly and flirtatious way. This causes Mark to want to follow Reghabi’s plans. They perform the procedure but Mark passes out after Devon arrives at his house.
