Mrs Cobel and Milchek are also return to try and restore disciplined order to the world of Lumon. Helly must face the consequences of her Eagen heritage as her innie finally sees the life she has outside the bounds of the workplace.

Mark on the other hand is bringing the life of his innie closer to the outside world. Mark is realising that his partner, Gemma, who he long-thought was dead, is actually working for Lumon. Irving is also dealing with the harshness of the Severance procedure, learning that the man he loves at work is married and committed on the outside to somebody else. Mrs. Cobel’s relationship to Mark is still a mystery as is the fate of Dylan who was last seen apprehended by the quiet menacing Milchek. As the employees of Lumon are always reminded; “every time you find yourself here it’s because you chose to come back.”
