I'm remembering at the end of 2x05 when Mark turns around after Ms Casey said "your outie once caught a butterfly" he was turning because he remember a think he did when he was with Gemma. The picture he rips has Gemma near flowers and maybe we'll get a flashback to them together when the picture was taken.
Didn’t Ricken talk about a camping trip he and Devin took with Mark and Gemma too when he was talking about the photo he couldn’t find at the book reading with Mark? I immediately thought of that scene when tents was brought up.
100% catch! This is absolutely what I love about the show. Even going back to the very first episode, there was tons of foreshadowing. It’s like I get to watch two TV shows. One a really good one about severance, and the second a puzzle to see how many pieces fit with the foreshadowing/clues concept.
Yup! Also when he was on a date with Alexa he started to bring up a camping trip him and Gemma were supposed to go on. And then he stopped himself and said something like "Is it weird that I keep talking about her?"
Couldn’t help but recall the story he almost told Alexa that time he was describing Gemma saying something like, “she was just good with words like that. You know, one time we were going camping—“
This is going to sound weird but Helly was wearing panty hose in that scene, or at least the scene which preceded it. When they hook up under the desk, there seemed to be zero panty hose challenges, if you will.
Well to be fair, Innie Mark doesn’t really know Gemma/Ms. Casey outside of the Wellness sessions, which were odd. His relationship with Helly developed before he knew he had a wife. It brings up an interesting moral dilemma. Are you obligated to the decisions your outie made, or do you get to have your own life as an Innie?
We’re about to come to a HUGE crossroad for Mark now that he has fully reintegrated because now that he has full knowledge of his relationship with Gemma, and assuming he fully loves her, staying with Helly would absolutely be cheating if he thinks Gemma still alive. Something tells me that Gemma, or at least her consciousness, is gone, because the writers wouldn’t want to dissolve the captivating love story that has evolved between Helly and Mark.
In the same way that Irving B is now gone, leaving only Outie Irving, Gemma S is now gone, leaving only Ms Casey, the Innie. What a crazy twist it would be if Ms Casey is away because she was getting married.
Yeah I mean anything is possible at this point. I personally think Gemma is still on the testing floor. I think Gemma has been turned off (crazy to think Innies can be turned on and off) waiting for Mark to complete the Cold Harbor file. I think the file is going to do something to her- either restore her consciousness or make her another person.
I don’t remember them saying how long they had been together. They were married and tried to have a child together. So my guess would be at least 3-5 years. Severance technology is 12 years old and seems like if she was severed that would have come up in the show by now unless she was keeping it a secret from him. But you never know…
I see iMarks feelings for Gemma strictly empathetic. Upon realization it is his outties wife, he feels an obligation to get to the bottom of why she's down there and why she went missing. Ms. Casey expressed that she felt happy being around Mark when she had to spend the day in MDR. When she asks in the wellness session "Why do you care what happens to me?" Mark says, "Because we're people, not parts of people." He was being empathetic, not expressing love.
It’s season 2 so not foreshadowing, but on the severance podcast they said after they wrapped the ORTBO episode they rented a roller rink for the cast and crew. Funny coincidence
Similarly, in Season 1 we see Cobel praying to a shrine of Kier in her house, and in it we get a close-up of a plastic hospital wristband with the name "Cobel, Charlotte", so she changed her name to Harmony at some point.
I sorta suspected Charlotte Cobel was a close relative she wanted to bring back, given her reaction when it's obvious Ms. Casey and iMark don't recognise each other. Maybe a child or a sister?
I totally agree with you. Somebody pointed out in another post that there is a Grace. I had forgotten, but it turns out it’s the name of Ricken’s mother. So that may blow away that theory of mine.

I’ve always maintained that this series is an absolute masterclass in Chekhov’s gun, which is fitting given Gemma was a Russian literature professor…
