You were warned,Severancefans.
Severancefans are struggling to process the ending of season 2’s fourth chapter
This is your final warning:huge spoilers immediately follow forSeveranceseason 2 episode 4.
That’s one ofseven big theories I proposed following the release ofSeveranceseason 2’s first episode.
Well, it turns out I and many others, including Irving B, were right.
“Yes… DO IT, Seth!"
Long story short: Irving B is right.
Severance season 2 episode 4 ending explained: what is the Glasgow Block?
Okay, but how did Helena manage to infiltrate MDR?
Praise Kier!… or, rather, don’t
So, how was Helena able to bypass this when she “goes to work” at Lumon?
It’s all down to the Glasgow Block.
Of course, that begs the question: was Dieter a real person?
Severance’s Montauk Project may have ties to some real-world mysteries
I’m not buying that for one second.
For one, Kier’s claims about what happened to Dieter are incredibly outlandish.
Want one last piece of evidence?
I’m not convinced that Irving B is dead
Dieter is derived from its fellow German name Dietrich, which roughly translates to “people ruler”.
What does Kier Eagan do, even though he’s long since passed from this world?
Laud it over Lumon.
Will Dylan G understand what Irving B said to him?
He’s therulerof thepeoplewho work for him.
Severance season 2 episode 4 ending explained: what is the Montauk Project?
One of those is the Montauk Project.
That’s… not creepy at all
There, Irving B sits at his desk and stares at what’s on the screen.
In the top left hand corner, the word ‘Montauk’ can be seen.
Unfortunately, there’s no indication about what Lumon’s Montauk Project is.
Mark S is going to have a very difficult conversation with Helly R in episode 5…
‘Montauk’ is a name with real-life historical significance, though.
Severance season 2 episode 4 ending explained: is Irving B dead?
It certainly seems that way.
As we know, that’s code for “yeah, your ‘innie’ is toast”.
Fortunately,Severance’s creators spare us the pain of seeing Irving’s ‘innie’ draw his last breath.
So long, Irving B.
You see, in the real world, there’s a scientific tool called the Glasgow Coma Scale.
they killed irving b bc he was too smart, too clever, too wise.
That doesn’t mean that said ‘innie’ is bumped off, though.
Instead, I think they’re simply placed into a comatose state.
If required, Lumon can simply reawaken an individuals ‘innie’ if it needs them to.
This is an incredibly important callback toSeveranceseason 2 episode 1.
What does all of this mean?
Irving B has hidden something behind that poster and wants Dylan G to find it.
I believe Irving B has been playing the long game here.
Long story short: I think Irving B has hidden his sketches behind that poster.
Severancefans have long believed that Lumon Industries' primary objective is unlocking the secret of human cloning.
The purpose of all of this?
Toresurrect Kier by implanting his consciousness in a clone of his own body.
How will Helly R react to the fact that Helena has been masquerading as her?
Will Milchick keep his job as Severed Floor manager?
It’s going to be a long week to get answers to all of these questions and more.
So, as Irving B said: “hang in there”.
