It's got bush, what the hellllll?

The season finale is going to be so good. Great pentultimate

I don't think burt is telling Irving everything. I think, for whatever reason, Burt needs Irving to leave. And I still don't think Burt is severed.

I didn't think it was possible but I am actually starting to believe the conspiracy that Devon could be with Lumon. I'm 5% convinced. She treated Innie Mark so strangely there at the end. I can't really put my finger on it.

This was a good build up episode that set so many things in motion.... Except, I still have no idea what is in motion. Should be fun next week

Creepy dude. Also doesn't remotely seem in charge.

I'm even more convinced of my Devon theory. Of course, I am probably completely wrong and will have egg on my face, or rather "a conspicuous lapse in discernment", as our mustachioed friend would say.

Everyone needs to at least read a summary of the after hours twilight zone episode. Gold thimble, 9th floor, mannequins.

I honestly have no clue. Was a little confused as well.

Ah, good call.

Lumon loves you.

What was with the train station by the way. Why was every one there dressed like they were in the 1940s? The ticket booth operator with vest and hat, the men with topcoats and hats, women with dresses, heels, and updos.

Everything Bert described to Irving about what he did for Lumon he still ended up doing to Irv.

"I never killed anyone. I just take them somewhere and never see them again."

That's what he did to Irving.

Totally agree that it feels like we're setting up for a series reset after this season. No way they can go back to anything like what the first season and a half was. Hopefully it doesn't take another three years for us to get Season3!

Lol the quips this episode were great

"Sorry, the wind was whistling over the hole in the back of your skull, so I didn't quite get that".

"Oh my god so good, my wife is being held at Lumon and I just had brain surgery in my basement. How are you?"

"To put that monosyllabically: 'It's not my fault what Mark Scout does when he's not at work. It's yours.'"

The Dylan scenes were sad. He even cut up one of his treasured finger traps to make that ring! So many throuples in the show!

Deeply unsettling vibes from the starting egg scene to the end with Cobel looking evil in the firelight. I wasn't part of the "Devon is Lumen theory", but there was definitely a look between them at the end

There's just something unsettling and tragic about the Dylan situation. It's him, but it's not.

Also since he wanted to quit already, it's not like innie Dylan even needs to unilaterally quit. If he says he wants to quit AND outie Dylan already wanted to quit, easy peasy. What I think will happen is they'll convince outie Dylan not to quit because they need Mark to cooperate. Then innie Dylan will keep showing up regardless of what he wants. They'll just tell him his outie rejected his request.

I'm terrified this is exactly what's going to happen and innie Dylan is going to succeed in actually killing himself and wreck that whole precious family.

(1) They want a master chip that can isolate everything without any bleed over, no matter the trauma.
(2) All they have left to test is whether the death of one consciousness kills the other consciousnesses, and if so, is there any bleed over.

• We now know that Cold Harbor relates to Cobel, and specifically where she grew up and where her mother died.
• We now know that Cobel created the severance process, and we suspect that it had to do with processing the grief from her mother's passing.
• We know that the Cold Harbor project is some kind of culmination and somehow tied to Mark.
• Last night, Cobel said that if they have completed Cold Harbor, Gemma is already dead.

Two theories, closely tied:

(1) As mentioned above, they intend to see if they can kill the real Gemma's consciousness, leaving only the severed "innie" versions of Gemma. They want to confront a severed Gemma with Mark to see if the real Gemma's consciousness is truly gone.

(2) They intend to kill Gemma (all Gemmas) to test whether or not Innie Mark can completely suppress any bleed over from Outie Mark.

I suppose as a third, they could also just mean one final test, after which, they would kill Gemma to make sure there are no witnesses. I don't get that vibe though.

I'm having trouble connecting all of this to the Kier mythology though. I don't really see them as being profit-driven; it seems more like it's a religiousy pursuit. Is it possible they want a truly severed vessel with no remaining vestiges of the real personality that they can put Kier's consciousness into or something? Have a Kier second-coming?

The Lumon brass alluding to the momentousness of Cold Harbor makes me think severance is a step towards some kind of immortality technology. They have to kill Gemma (in her present body) to prove it. It would also be consistent with Cobel's grief over her mother's death being the motivation to invent severance.

I'm lost.

Someone explain to me why they have to go to the birthing place to talk to Cobel.

Why does outie Mark change to innie Mark in the cabin?
