by Severance season 2 episode 4 contains many scoops. It is the first time that the MDR team goes outside, there is the very first sex scene and the innovations get the chance to experience an essential part of human life, an act that may refute a long-term theory.
Due to the latest episode of the Apple TV+ series, Irving’s Innie wakes up in the middle of a frozen lake. He quickly finds his colleague MDR team and they learn that they are on an Ortbo (outdoor retreat and team structure).
Although they are allowed outside for the first time in their lives, it is tightly checked by Lumon. They go on a path supposedly because of their great founder, Kier Eagan, with scary, digital copies of themselves to guide them.
As soon as they reach the holy earth of ‘Woe’s Hollow’, Milchick takes them to a campsite and tells the story of Kier’s “Twin” Dieter (on the melody of Miss Huang’s Theremin). When everything is said and done, it’s time for bed … and the innies sleep for the first time in their lives. Warning: spoilers ahead!
The Innies sleep for the first time in episode 4 episode 4
Apple TV+In the reimbursement season 1, Irving gets into trouble for ‘dozing’ at work, which leads to the theory that his oation deliberately deprived of sleep to get his Innie accidentally napping at work and therefore dreaming of the outside.
The idea is that Irving’s OUTERDAM tried to communicate with his Innie through the subconscious mind. As such, Lumon does not want to sleep because they have no control over their dreams.
If this is true, Irving’s plan works: his Innie starts to have visions of Black Goo, representative of the paint who uses his oation to repeatedly paint the lift, which we now know are the export hall.
However, Milchick had no problem organizing the two -day Ortbo and allowing Mark, Irving and Dylan’s Inniës to sleep, which means that this theory apparently cannot be correct.
For your information, I left Helly out of the list because, as we learn in episode 4 of season 2, she has been Helena Eagan all the time (that an sinister sheds light at the intimate moment between her and Mark).
In the subbreddit of the show, the resignation was first spotted, with one fan who wrote: “Is this the first time that the Innies have experienced the actual sleep?” To which another answered: “Crazy that Lumon would let them do that.”
Apple TV+One person suggested: “I think it’s just Lumon that runs the risk of releasing some control to prevent further rebellion. That has so far been the theme of the season: give a few more freedoms to make their prisoners think that they are free (er). “
Here is the thing: the theory could Be true, but to be, we have to believe a different theory.
While the MDR team is sleeping in their tents in Severance season 2 episode 4, Irving goes into the forest and has a horrible nightmare, where he proposes Helly’s face on his screen alongside the letters that form the word ‘Eagan’.
Irving’s nightmare is sparking a new theory
From his dream he can find out that Helly is actually Helena. This can mean that Lumon has installed a kind of device in or around their tents that arrange their dreams, hence Irving had those visions – he did not sleep at the campsite.
Apple TV+This may sound bizarre, but if you look at the moment that Irving Helena confronts in the morning, he tells her that he slept outside and, when the camera goes to her, she looks worried.
As a viewer wrote: “Something about those tents. Irv slept outside and was better for it. Helena seemed to understand what that meant when he said it. ‘
Another agreed: ‘Yes, that was what I thought. Like the tents block their exterior consciousness by seeping through, what happened to Irving when he fell asleep. ‘
“I think the tents had something to do with it. Because Irving made it a point to tell Helena that he was sleeping outside and not in the tents, “a third added. “Could also explain why Helena and Milchick didn’t sleep in the tents and were gone when Dylan and Mark woke up.”
And a fourth chimde in: “I wonder if the place Irving has influenced him to have hallucinations/weird dreams.
Apple TV+“I remember that I heard a number of theories saying that sleeping at work was not allowed because the mind was vulnerable and susceptible to the ‘leaking’ of information from their oation. Could it be that the huts were equipped with some technology that prevented this? “
Whatever the real answer is, it certainly seems that the Ortbo did not go to plan. Irving almost killed Helena, which eventually led to the death of his own Innie (for the time being).
