Sissy is Harmony’s aunt – and an even more devoted Kier follower than her niece
Long story short: she persuades a hesitant Hampton to drive her to visit someone called Sissy.
As it turns out, Sissy isn’t just a random individual she’s Harmony’s aunt.
But this is no happy family reunion.
Sissy was a Lumon Youth Apprentice Matron and Quarterly Striver: 4th Quarter Year of Vision placard recipient
Based on the arguments they have throughout ‘Sweet Vitriol’, there’s clear animosity between the pair.
It was Harmony, not current Lumon CEO Jame Eagan, who invented the severance procedure.
Until now, we’d been led to believe that Jame devised the revolutionary medical technique.
We finally know why Harmony Cobel has a breathing tube and who it originally belonged to
However, ‘Sweet Vitriol’ confirms that this isn’t the case.
There, she finds her Wintertide Fellowship award, which contains a secret compartment.
All of Harmony’s hard work is almost for nought, however.
Did anybody else’s heart break during the scene?
Since then, the show’s fanbase has fallen over itself trying to work out what it is.

That feels like the case, too.
Where have we seen and/or heard uncommon, ‘Ye Olde’ words before?
Hold on, Harmony Cobel is the brainchild behind the severance procedure?!
Hmm, I wonder what Harmony Cobel’s icy and coastal hometown could be a reference to…
So, there are Four Tempers and Nine… what, exactly?
