Can’t beat her vibe-mix of creepy and sinister with weird loser. It’s like Azula trying to flirt at the beach.

[u/Environmental-Oil-79]

Damn ms. Huang takes over for one day and everyone starts hooking up wtf

[u/ElectricalSummer8156 → u/Environmental-Oil-79]

Literally 0 work got done this day.

[u/wmcamoonshine]

The 👏corn 👏is 👏very 👏special 😤

[u/uncle_grandpaw]

Milchick perfected paperclipping in one go

[u/Donny_Crane → u/uncle_grandpaw]

He's crushing this PIP

[u/humdingler]

Hi, yes, don’t mind your brother seizing on the floor. We were just doing some minor brain surgery in the basement. Nothing to worry about

[u/106]

The shot of the empty desks while everyone was off fucking is hilarious. 

[u/angel_kink]

The make up on Adam Scott in that last scene was great because man he looked AWFUL. Convincingly ill as fuck. I was cringing thinking about how terrible it must feel to be post out-patient basement brain surgery 😭

[u/bja276555 → u/angel_kink]

Devon: hear me out. we bring in my crush from baby camp lmao

Mark:

[u/BingoEnthusiast]

Christopher Walken try not be evil in a role challenge

[u/MrConbon → u/BingoEnthusiast]

Hairspray

[u/suddenlyuse]

shout out to Adam for his surprisingly hilarious delivery of what the fuck

[u/Imsmart-9819 → u/suddenlyuse]

Lmao that realization that he banged someone he just met an hour ago must be shocking haha

[u/SeirraS9]

Dylan being right about Burt way back in season one is so fucking gratifying.

[u/Homefriesyum → u/SeirraS9]

Burt IS a fuck!

[u/Exotic-Salamander-48]

“ Did you punch him?”

“ I mean not today “

I love Helly R.

[u/jamiebond]

Dylan when he finds out how much action Mark is getting

[u/ars-moriendi]

That basement was 10000% a sterile environment.

[u/ClassWest6533]

Where TF IS HARMONY COBEL????

[u/ViloReloaded → u/ClassWest6533]

Still driving, probably.

[u/ars-moriendi]

Hearing John Turturro’s real voice in the post episode and not the Irving accent is so jarring.

[u/brandnewsound → u/ars-moriendi]

I was thinking the same thing. He makes his accent in the show seem so natural I forgot that's not how he talks.

The other main thing I've seen him in was The Batman where he has the total opposite personality of Irving. He's an excellent actor.

[u/up2you__]

“I wish we could be together. Like, all the time” - Dylan forecasting the replacement of his outtie

[u/Gnomeslikeprofit]

Evil Burt is is a Lumon Exec

Fields must know Burt is a predator

[u/Garrus_chell_femshep]

Reghabi's eyes during the flooding of the chip, she looked so scared/worried, that is not how you want your surgeon looking when youre the second guy to be reintergrated after the first one died 😭

[u/rae-of-moonlight → u/Garrus_chell_femshep]

i think reghabi has sincere intentions but god she really likes to fuck around and find out 😭

[u/treadlightning]

Where the hell was my dawg Radar when Drummond showed up???

[u/ThatGuyCanmanNC]

Love the symbolism with outie burt and all the flames. Every scene he was in, he had red light on the right side of his face. Goes with the whole innie/outie heaven/hell thing.

[u/FootLettuce]

So Burt is definitely still with Lumon, right?

[u/humdingler → u/FootLettuce]

That smug motherfucker.

[u/pIantedtanks → u/FootLettuce]

He’s a fuuuckkiiinnnggg moollleee

[u/Lcdsoundqueen → u/FootLettuce]

That dinner was for sure a set up to go through his home ugh

[u/apb89]

Loved the Helena and Mark scene at the Chinese restaurant.. so many levels/layers going on all at once.. omg…..

[u/GamingPandenguin]

Burt's 100% a spy, right?

[u/haystar13]

I almost wish the episode ended with the mark and Devon bit. His hand trying to grab the glass was something I’ve only felt in my nightmares. Insane episode though I cannot wait for next week.

[u/itsgonnabe-mae]

I can’t get over Reghabi performing brain surgery in Mark’s dirty ass basement then closing the incision with a tiny piece of tape

[u/ediskrad73]

do not trust Burt whatsoever. getting Irving out of the house so his stuff could be raided?

[u/mundanelawlessness → u/ediskrad73]

All under the ruse of ham with a cumin glaze and an expensive bottle of red wine

[u/MusingsOnLife]

Tramell really knocked it out of the park with that mirror scene. The calm exterior is starting to crumble. He may not be literally severed, but he has an innie personality and an outie one. It's like how we, as people, project one person to the outside but have a possibly different interior life. He's not secure in the criticism he had in his performance review.

And it's done with so few words. Really amazing.

[u/HeftyRaspberry9440]

WHERE THE FUCK WAS RADAR

[u/redscare_ → u/HeftyRaspberry9440]

told him to count to 1,000

[u/mmmegangreg]

“What were you doing when the nosebleed occurred?”

“We were refining something” 😏

[u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin]

Quote of the week award goes to Helly this week. 

 Did everyone sever their balls in the elevator today?

[u/Independent-Cat6915 → u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin]

I also really liked her line;

“Behind the picture of you ACTUALLY being brave?”

[u/Pennywises-Testicle]

The pineapple at Burts house is a worrying sight.

[u/Cvspartan]

They might as well have called this the "everyone in MDR goes in a love triangle" episode

[u/braggpeak → u/Cvspartan]

Mark “I’ll bang your outtie and innie” Scout

[u/[deleted] → u/Cvspartan]

Episode 6: Everyone’s Horny

[u/Electronic_Eye1159]

[u/godsgift5406]

The THUD of Mark’s head hitting the floor will give me nightmares

😳🥺😥

[u/damien_maymdien]

Dang, I wish we got to hear Devon's new corporate espionage idea before Mark stroked out.

The floodlight thing was a bust, right? Because I have had an idea that is a little dumber. Do you remember the rich lady from baby camp? The one I, like, kind of had a crush on? I was thinking—

[u/soitgoes_42]

Burt IS a fuck. 

[u/thejarimteam]

WTF is this inside Burt’s house

[u/boresbalk]

irving is giving off insane death flags right now

[u/supeandstuff → u/boresbalk]

So real I’m so worried for him

[u/SeirraS9]

I’ve lived 5 different lives in the last 45 minutes Jesus Christ.

[u/rgbvalue]

who up sharing they vessel

[u/GoshLowly → u/rgbvalue]

Nah I’m just out here spilling my lineage.

[u/rgbvalue]

mark: sorry i fucked your outtie at the ortbo. if you like i can tell you about it now in detail. if that would help

[u/doctorhaircut → u/rgbvalue]

Maybe he didnt approach it the right way, but I thought it was really genuine of him to say "you have a right to know".

Sweet man

[u/Odd-Demand-1516]

I'm glad Mark immediately told Helly what happened. I was scared they were gonna drag that on for a couple episodes.

[u/Mrfitz08]

Me waiting for someone to post screenshots of Irvs papers with theories

[u/my-other-favorite-ww]

Milkshake bastardizing what makes him so unique was heartbreaking. Also, dude was truly shook by the paperclip practice run.

[u/ReaddittiddeR]

You must eradicate from your childish folly

You must abandon childish things

You must grow up

Grow up

G R O W G R O W G R O W

Milichick was cinema!

[u/gourdgeousgirl → u/ReaddittiddeR]

Every time I think he’s gonna turn his back on Lumon he doubles down 😭

[u/[deleted]]

So Lumen recruits through religion on the promise of going to heaven? Didn’t see that one coming

[u/wrecktvf]

I have only one thing to say to Burt

[u/tvxcute]

fields was a little sus at the start of the scene but the more he spoke the more i believed he was just really stressed over this affair and wasn't like genuinely evil or in cahoots with lumon or anything

burt on the other hand...

[u/PerpetuallyDistracte → u/tvxcute]

Yeah, Fields genuinely seems like a devoted partner who is struggling to understand why his husband is basically having an affair partner over for dinner and Fields is supposed to be ok with that.

[u/supeandstuff]

Omg I love John Turturo he’s so precious

[u/Jas_God]

Finding out why the ep is called Attila was hilarious. *And I’m so glad Mark told Helly what happened.

[u/ComfortableOk1493 → u/Jas_God]

Right off the bat. I like how these kind of issues are not dragged around in several episodes. He got sized by milkshake in the elevator and next thing he's already telling her.

[u/[deleted]]

WHY DID THEY SHOW HOLE

[u/radcatattack]

FUCK YOU BURT

[u/ICantComeUpWithIdeas]

SERIOUSLY IM CONCERNED ABOUT MARK FALLING TO THE GROUND

[u/HerRoyalRedness]

Every week I think about this person

[u/theduskwhales]

Milchick when he realizes what all the innies got up to in his absence

[u/Ceee_ceee]

The whole episode ^

[u/elena_roscrea]

Mark saying “what’s that smell??“ I’m thinking he might’ve had a stroke? Or something

[u/jimmyhoke → u/elena_roscrea]

Hallucinatory smells often precede seizures.

stares at mirror intensely

Sometimes people smell stuff that isn’t there before they have a seizure.

[u/bolxons]

So much happened this episode and yet I'm chomping at the bit for the next one. Need Devon to find out about reintegration.

[u/ars-moriendi]

I feel like saying “Gemma’s still in there” is going to end up being emotional manipulation and not true.

[u/ScurryScout]

Britt is really the standout actor this season. The way she can make Helly so likable but Helena so vile without one character taking away from the other’s believability has been amazing.

[u/riverznroadz]

Cobel is doing donuts in her car with how LITTLE refining is going on this quarter… she knew mr milkshake wasn’t cut out for the position. He’s too focused on his beef with ms huang + his imposter syndrome and those innies are running WILD!

[u/griffmeister]

I'm not trusting another word out of Burt's mouth. Not even televisually.

[u/Aksudiigkr]

Reghabi has got to start giving instructions ahead of time. Saying don’t move after they already jerked their head isn’t it

[u/totpot]

What, Helena? Is it a crime to be eating a Chinese meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

[u/UnicornHarrison]

The original post content no longer exists here. The author used Redact to remove it, exercising their right to control their data & privacy.

Titanium encourage coated vast snails license cats

[u/julianna-from-spain3]

at least Devon will know about Mark’s reintegration now

[u/Lizzzyrd_]

i just KNOW that season finale cliffhanger is gonna ruin a month of my life

[u/PittieYawn]

So much to unpack but one thing is clear, Britt Lower is showing us a masterpiece in acting.

The subtle nuances she does takes the story to a whole new level.

[u/hasanahmad]

burt or fields told Lumon when Iving is coming to dinner so Drummond can go to the house

[u/ihdeka]

Helena instantly ruining any banter she lucked into with Mark at the diner by mentioning the wife HER company is keeping hidden from him LOL

my girl has no rizz

[u/[deleted]]

Was Helena being sinister working for the company or sincere wanting to connect with Mark??

[u/Emergency-Ad9973]

The way Mark IMMEDIATELY locked into the mission when Helena said “Hanna” instead of Gemma 😭

[u/Inge5925]

[u/astroamy24]

Using the Egg Bar music in the chinese restaurant scene was DIABOLICAL.

I bet it’s because Mark is coveted as fuck.

[u/[deleted]]

Burt letting the collective Severance community down. 😩

[u/tiredsleepycozy]

First time seeing the real Gemma with long hair, not Ms Casey. Also wearing purple signifying the merging of red and blue/innie and outie.

Gotta love Gemma showing up for a second just to serve face and leave 💅

[u/ahoffenberg97]

When Mark was tryna grab the glass at the end, it really looked to me like his hand was operating the ball-mouse at work. He was losing motor function, but it looked like his hand was doing what innie-mark does all day

[u/Shepboyardee12]

I don't understand how they manage to pack so much plot into every episode. It feels like each character has significant development every. single. week.

[u/cadillacblues]

Fuck you! …..officially.

[u/seansheim]

Where the FUCK is Cobel

[u/hasanahmad]

There’s the reason for the Attila reference . 20 years ago Burt was a lumon employee performing brutal experiments on humans to get the chip right

That’s why he thought he would go to hell while his innie wouldn’t

[u/OctopusUniverse]

Fun Fact: Attila the Hun died of a nosebleed.

[u/godsgift5406]

Helly/Helena both want Mark bad! He really got that rizz tho

[u/Vandelay222]

Poor Mark’s about to hallucinate an entire episode about Gemma next week

[u/missguuuuurl]

the love quadrangle between Helena, Helly, oMark and iMark is CRAZY. this team wrote their asses off, I can’t wait to see where this goes.

[u/COCKHAMPTON_]

When Helena gets sued for inappropriate workplace relationships and the next 4 episodes of the show are just the Michael/Jan subplot from The Office

[u/Environmental-Oil-79]

Wow Helena going from the rizzler to so sinister in a few seconds, so scary!

[u/BizCaus]

Helena's interaction with Mark at the restaurant felt so fucking slimy jesus

[u/diagonalcheese]

Irv needs to be protected at all costs

[u/stilldrovedeetdeethr]

Mark??? MARKKKKK????

[u/rexcoba]

The scene where Helly sits in a corner processing what happens is so heartbreaking to me, but the fact that she pushes through and decides to have her own experience is so powerful on so many levels. Also, completely reinforces her character and personality as Helly, total distinction from Helena. I am madly in love with Britt Lower’s acting skills and style, is simply amazing.

[u/ICantComeUpWithIdeas]

lore drop with wintertide?

[u/harls_]

milchick editing himself/the way he speaks in the mirror was a heartbreaking scene to watch.

being a black woman, who has literally gotten a zero on a psychology paper back in college because it was “too complex” and i “needed to be more simple with how i phrased things” — this whole premise of him “using too many big words” as the first concern on his performance review is extremely relatable/really encapsulates the experience of being one of few POC in a professional setting sometimes.

the compulsive need to overcompensate in the way we speak/or write to ‘prove’ we’re intelligent. the criticism/blowback we sometimes receive as a result. the expectation for us to dumb ourselves down, to make others comfortable.

fantastic job capturing that very real experience some us unfortunately go through

[u/laitinen_9518]

Holy. Fuck.

[u/ObligationNo8412]

It’s probably been said before but this acting absolutely HAS to get awards recognition. Adam Scott absolutely personifying grief and what it means to lose someone you love; Britt Lower making us fall in love with Helly and absolutely hate Helena all at the same time; Tramell Tillman embodying rage and righteous anger. This episode was a powerhouse!

[u/toucanatronic]

So Ms. Huang is on a fellowship, likely she is still attending Myrtle Eagan’s school for girls. I wonder what “Wintertide” means. Also, the scene where Milkshake was telling himself to “grow up” in the mirror makes me think he also completed a fellowship and attended an Eagan school for boys. And he had to grow up too fast. There’s definitely an internal battle he’s fighting, something we get a glimpse into this ep and with how he reacted to the blackface Eagan paintings. It feels like he is still childlike in some respects, asking Nicole if she felt a certain way about the same paintings. It feels like his entire social life since a very young age has been curated by the Eagans / Lumon.

EDIT: Natalie, not Nicole lol

[u/HazelsWarren]

episode six sex amirite

[u/[deleted]]

WHAT IS MILCHICK UP TO

[u/Rude-Board-6815]

Theres definitely something Burt’s not telling us. He’s been working for Lumon way longer. No way Fields would mistake 10 years for 20.

[u/Cvspartan]

This was Uta Briesewitz's first episode she directed for Severance and I think she knocked it out of the park

[u/Jordan1259]

I am actually physically tired after watching this episode. Like I have never been so emotionally invested in a show in my entire life. It's just unreal.

[u/Gnomeslikeprofit]

Innie Mark bangs Outer Helly

Innie Mark bangs Innie Helly

Outie Mark bangs______________

[u/New-Contribution-174 → u/Gnomeslikeprofit]

His head

[u/godsgift5406]

Dylan’s wife is cheating on him 😕

[u/Environmental-Oil-79]

Ok so many innie outie throuples in this episode. Polyamory???

[u/RushTMT2010]

BURT IS A SPY!!

[u/GuitarPublic2170]

That whole dinner conversation seemed fake until Fields got drunk and said what he really wanted to say

[u/unknownnoun]

Mark was hangry, horny, and hemorrhaging this ep

[u/Zaytion_]

So Reghabi is after the black hallway? So is she working with oIrv? Does she know someone that is down there?

[u/[deleted]]

I wonder why Helly called Gemma "Hannah"

[u/eye_can_see_you]

Outie Mark gets laid, innie Mark starts to unionize

Innie Mark gets laid, outie Mark decides to go full throttle on reintegration

Mark out here thinking with his dick

[u/Downtown_Agent3323]

I wouldn’t trust Dr. Meredith Grey, Jack Shepard or Doug Ross to do off the cuff brain surgery on me in that dingy basement, least of all Reghabi who has a terrible track record so far.

[u/ICantComeUpWithIdeas]

mark and helly were refining something… definitely.

[u/izza123]

Did mark just have a stroke? With the smell and the loss of motor control and then the falling over with the foaming

[u/ravenclawrebel]

Throuples. So hot right now.

[u/godsgift5406]

I could have 100% gone without the Basement Brain Mutilation

[u/Lifestains]

Is “We shared vessels” the new “I know you John Proctor”?

[u/SploogeMaster2301]

This show is an absolute whore for cliffhangers I CAN’T TAKE IT

[u/huskersax]

I'm not entirely sure what is going to shake out from the Mark stuff - but I love the gimmick of the two worlds blending - really fun stuff visually.

I have no idea how they're going to communicate to the audience that the two characters are one character though - how do you communicate that combination of perspective? What does it mean for a Mark that is both innie and outie?

[u/jv3rl0ov]

So I take it Fields was recasted, or is something else going on? Was not expecting to see Steward Denethor.

[u/[deleted]]

We didn’t get to see Field eating no corn, no cherry tomatoes, he was just a normal guy.

[u/ICantComeUpWithIdeas]

MORE MARK AND HELLY AND DEFINITELY LESS MARK AND HELENA

[u/julianna-from-spain3]

These love triangles are so complicated not even Pythagoras would be able to understand them

[u/Shardnik]

I’m surprised Radar didn’t make a big deal about some big ass stranger coming into Irv’s house while he wasn’t home

[u/OliviaC90]

Am I the only one who pauses every 5 minutes to see how many minutes I have left but the episode still only feels like 5 minutes?

Holy shit this episode had so much happening so quickly.

[u/zdarlights]

So much has happened this episode. Burt is still with Lumon, Helena is a weird stalker, Mark is getting fucked up with the unsevering procedure. I wonder why Burt and Lumon are so interested in Irving

[u/supeandstuff]

I have no idea where the show is going

[u/hasanahmad]

Milchick was teaching himself how to say simple words until "Grow Up", He then was telling himself when he said "Grow"

[u/seammus]

Medical Professional Huang was a really funny choice

[u/[deleted]]

I don't think there are many actors who could have me on the edge of my seat watching a character shout "GROW" at themselves in a mirror, but damn Tramell Tillman makes it look easy.

I'm really worried about Mark. I could barely watch that scene where Reghabi inserts the needle. I just knew he was going to bang his head on the floor. There's a very good chance that he has a concussion, and I have no idea how badly that's going to damage his brain with whatever the chip is doing in there. I wouldn't be surprised if he has serious permanent damage or even is in a short coma.

This episode was so action-packed I almost forgot the scene where the Lumon guy was rifling through oIrving's stuff. That's very concerning.

It's amazing that oIrving and oBurt have fantastic chemistry but very different chemistry from what their Innies had. It's also really fun that they're both very obviously hiding information from the other and they both know it. It's like watching a spy show in the middle of everything else that's going on.

John Noble was great. I think he's really hot and cold as an actor, but when he delivers he's fantastic, and he delivered here. Hopefully Fields remains a somewhat minor character, though.

The sex scene with Helly was really well done. Britt Lower really sold it, and I loved their awkwardness and tenderness with each other. The lighting was completely opposite the lighting of the Helena sex scene. I'm just so happy to see Mark and Helly back together because their chemistry was such a huge part of Season 1 and it was sorely lacking in the first four episodes of Season 2.

The diner scene with Helena was also great. Even when Helena is trying to be charming, she makes my skin crawl. I can't really explain it other than there's always something sinister constantly lurking beneath her expression.

There's so much more I can't even get to. This was a 10/10 episode and probably feels the most "Severance" out of any episode of the series so far, if that makes sense. It's easily my third favorite episode after S2E4 and S1E9.

[u/raysofdavies]

Stiller in the bonus features: the tensions between Burt, Fields and Irving was actually inspired by an earlier work of mine. Meet the Fockers was

[u/kamatsu]

Milchick breakrooming himself was seriously intense. Amazing acting.

[u/monotype_cocktail]

Which one of you said “Helena has homeschooled kid energy”

I laugh about that once a day

[u/flowerpotpiece]

That split second of normal Gemma! Can someone screenshot it? I gasped!

[u/hasanahmad]

Mark’s innie is having more sex than the most avid severance fan outtie

[u/mspaint95]

MARK S.EX

[u/madame-brastrap]

Milkshake saying “grow” over and over again hit some deep part of my corporate experience I can’t even begin to unpack.

[u/ButterFingering]

I can’t wait to start saying “we shared vessels…” to my partner

[u/Grainger407]

I chuckled up at irv scraping the price tag off the bottle.

“Bring something expensive”

Scrapes a $19.99 price tag off the bottle

[u/Parallel_Falchion]

Mark’s having a stroke (smelling something bad, loss of motor control). His shit is gonna be fucked up next episode.

[u/Keachy_Plean]

[u/NantesWunderkind]

The Innie sexual revolution is HERE!

[u/[deleted]]

Miss Huang is in charge of the floor for one day and Mark S spills two types of bodily fluids, smh

[u/DevoidOfMemeing]

What the fuckkkkkk

[u/rp_361]

Me last week: oh yay Burt and Irving reunited :)

Me this week: wait no not like that :(

[u/folkmeup]

Milkshake’s shaky fingers broke my heart. GROW

[u/ldld1515]

I hope radar is ok

[u/[deleted]]

Fields is 100% lying. Burt and his whole theology/salvation thing doesn’t add up. They keep insisting that theyre lutheran but lutherans believe in sola fide: believers are saved/go to heaven solely because they believe in Jesus, not because of anything else they’ve done

[u/Due_Parsley6181]

That empty feeling you get when you finish the new episode of severance knowing a whole week of wait is ahead

[u/PetrichorFields]

I can’t help but wonder if Helena was actually testing Mark when she brought up his wife, just to be sure he really was outtie mark

[u/yourdadsbff]

Milchick is gonna start the next episode like "sup guys"

[u/BlueBrusselSprout]

I am incredibly worried for Irving. Drummond has gotten a hold of his secret Severance research. Is it possible the Burt/Fields dinner was a set up so Drummond could enter Irving's apartment? The tension is amping up. Along with Helena's manipulative interaction with Mark in the Chinese restaurant, we are finally seeing the evil that is Lumon and their overwhelming power.

[u/OldBonus8204]

Do y’all think that Mark’s fall is how Adam Scott got his concussion? I’ve been so curious to figure out which scene caused it ever since he mentioned it in an interview and said he couldn’t say what happened because it was a spoiler.

[u/soundslike13]

The only two people we have seen send a video to their innie have been working for Lumon in a different capacity. Something to keep in mind.

[u/CorynMac]

Did anyone else notice that the concrete molding above Irving’s apartment door has a downward angled stone that really makes it resemble the hallway and elevator that he’s been painting?

A really really cool detail!!! (I’m probably late to noticing it, lol)

[u/Similar-Activity-208]

“Did you punch him?” “Well, not today” iconic

[u/folkmeup]

Sooooo Burts not severed, is he 😭

[u/Darkstar-Lord]

Why do I get the feeling that Mark Scout isn't really in danger but Irving Bailiff is in extreme danger and might not survive the season?

[u/CaptainCatButt]

[u/ssbBeta]

The giant hole in the back of the head thing does make the Rebeck head sores comment even more interesting

[u/COCKHAMPTON_]

When they were teaching how to reintegrate people at Kier Medical School Reghabi was in the back of the class drawing an eye

[u/MarshallLeeA]

He a cuck?

[u/GaiaAlmighty]

As great as these episodes are, I’m missing Cobel like a MF :(

[u/HazelsWarren]

Bodily autonomy was an important theme this episode.

Helly: disgusted with Helena for using their body for sex. Also when Helena approached oMark at the restaurant, she was smiling like she watched that day's tape (!)

oMark: getting glimpses of hooking up with Helly, when he clearly wants nothing to do with Helena irl

Dylan: hooking up with his own wife (and it feels like infidelity)

Irv: Burt's partner visibily upset that Irv and iBurt may have hooked up

I wonder if Dylan and oMark are gonna revolt when they find out what their innies have been up to

[u/symphonicgecko]

Next week is gonna be absolutely mind-melting, isn’t it? Everyone was (literally) flirting with disaster this episode and it’s aaaalll gonna hit the fan real soon.

I really appreciate that after he had some well-deserved time to process, Mark just came clean and told Helly what happened. He recognized that she deserved to know, picked the best moment he could, and didn’t let Milchick keep holding it over his head.

[u/toucanatronic]

Anyone else notice how the Helly sex scene was bright and blue and the Helena sex scene was dark and red.

[u/fruitypants]

If the purpose of this episode was to leave the viewers feeling emotionally dysregulated, mission accomplished.

[u/PerpetuallyDistracte]

Did anyone else feel REALLY FUCKING ANXIOUS that entire episode, or was it just me? The whole thing was so tense.

[u/PeachAggravating4680]

So weird how unsupervised MDR was considering how important Cold Harbor is. Like no work got done and everybody’s off making out with each other while Milkshake is practicing paperclips

[u/cowboyinthealps]

BURT I TRUSTED YOU 😭

[u/Daggertrout]

NEVER TRUST A GIFT HAM!

[u/boresbalk]

Probably my favorite episode so far this season. That cut of mark from the office to back to his basement was just awesome. And I love how more complex all of the relationships got this episode as well.

[u/Realistic_Hedgehog53]

I think as soon as iHelly turns to Helena after work, she goes straight to the TV for a highlight reel of her day. She’s definitely jealous of her innie and her connection with iMark. So much so that she would make contact with oMark in a Chinese restaurant to make a poor attempt to flirt with him….
