This episode is, at least for now, my favorite of the season. It delivers satisfying answers and resolutions to many of the conflicts and mysteries from earlier episodes, weaving together multiple character arcs seamlessly. On top of that, it's genuinely funny and entertaining.

A special shoutout to the actor portraying Helena/Helly R-her performance is nothing short of incredible. She effortlessly makes us feel completely different emotions depending on which character she's embodying. It's as if she's playing two entirely separate people, yet there's an underlying thread that connects them in a way that feels seamless and deeply authentic.

Every time the scene transitioned, I found myself hoping there was still plenty of time left before the credits rolled, the pacing was PERFECT.

For me, it stands above the rest of the season, even ep 4!

This episode was incredible! A big step up from last week's where not much happened. Here we're finally learning more about Mark's reintegration and getting more hints about certain mysteries and relationships. The shots, editing, acting are all on point and the dialogue is so beautifully written.

I just hope that the writers will tie up all the loose ends and mysteries by the end of the season, because there is an insane amount of questions and I'd like to see at least some of them answered. Specifically the black hallway; we keep getting hints that are being followed up on at an extremely slow pace.

Otherwise this was an extremely satisfying episode to watch which somehow gets me even more excited for where this season is headed!

Severance is already on my Top 5 List for best TV shows of the last decade. Season one put it there. So far season two has done what many other TV shows fail to do - extend and expand the story in compelling ways that feel necessary. And here in season two episode 6 it does what the greatest TV shows do - it transcends. Particularly in the restaurant scene between Mark and Helena. It's a scene so intense, so rich with layers of meaning, and yet almost nothing happens on the surface. I was spellbound. A TV show earns this kind of transcendence. The story works and works to build to a moment like this. And severance has many of them. What a brilliant show brimming with talent. Such a perfect blend of mystery, fantasy, satire and aesthetic. Bravo to all involved. I can't wait for what's next.

The Dylan plotline, the Irving plotline, the Mark plotline (innie and outie)... everything about this episode is top tier. There's so much to talk about here, lots of incredibly thought provoking scenes.

For one, it's so interesting that Dylan's wife prefers him on the inside than on the outside. It's tragic that Dylan will never be able to live with his wife, that line was a gut punch. I wonder what will happen when Dylan inevitably loses this privilege, and it sucks that he's slowly losing his friendships due to wanting to keep seeing his wife.

Irving's dinner with Burt was just as fascinating. This whole episode has a theme of innies being separate people from their outies, and we can see that clearly through Burt who is a completely different person. I love how this episode subverts your expectations because you originally think there's going to be tension between Fields and Irving, but then the conflict comes from Burt. Fields is definitely used to being hurt by his husband and has accepted it at this point, it's crazy that Burt cheated on him before he was severed. Also adored the discussion of whether innies can go to heaven separately, and how both of them have somehow accepted that outie Burt is going to hell.

The reintegration scenes are also a highlight of the episode. They're so surreal and do a great job of capturing the feeling of uncertainty that both Marks must be feeling. There's an incredible sense of weight to Mark's decisions, you get the feeling that reintegration is just as dangerous as they say, since you're literally experiencing it from Mark's perspective. It was a great writing decision for him to change his mind after meeting Helly and seeing how little she cares about his wife. I also thought the way they handled innie Mark confessing the truth to Helly was perfect. It was devastating to see Helly slowly realize what Mark is telling her. It's realistic that she would want space at first, but I like that she came to the conclusion that her outie is the problem, not Mark. You can't really blame him tbh, she was so convincing as Helly.

Overall, this is another incredible episode that completely flew by. This is slow burn done right. You can tell the show is peak when the slower scenes are equally as compelling as the more important ones. What a show!

This is rare for apple shows. Most shows I seen on Apple mostly take 2nd season slow. However, even people still make bad comments online, Severance gave us 2nd season finale quality episode on 6th episode. Mind-blowing experience without compromising cinematic quality nor story. There are still empty spots on mind and questions that are raised on the story, but the information bomb in just 50 minutes... too much.

In my advice, it is an episode to watch at home, or at somewhere you can loudly say "What's happening". Live the experience as a whole, and enjoy each moment equally. Because this episodes first-watch will be a special cinematic experience for you.
