Mark and Devon sitting in a car in Severance season 2 episode 9

Season 2’s penultimate episode has spawned even more theories ahead of its final chapter

The reason for this is simple: each birthing cabin has a severed barrier installed in its front door.

Neither Devon or Harmony are pregnant, though.

Currently, the only way for an individual’s two personalities to converse is through video recordings.

To say Irving has been put through the wringer in the popularApple TV Plusseries is an understatement.

In the real world, he’s a loner whose sole company is his dog.

He’d also seemingly found love for the first time in the form of Christopher Walken’s Burt Goodman.

It really seems like Harmony is on Mark’s side now

In mySeveranceseason 2 episode 6 theoriesarticle, I suggested Burt was a bad guy and was working for Lumon.

As long as Irving doesn’t return to his home or Lumon, he should be safe.

It’s a heart-wrenching and potentially final farewell to Irving as we watch him ride off into the sunset.

We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when…

I’m also convinced this isn’t the last we’ll see of Burt.

I hope that’s the case anyway because ‘Burtving’ needs to live happily ever after.

Make it so, Apple!

I don’t think this is the last we’ve seen of Burt

Indeed, she says Devon is ‘pregnant’ and that “it’s one of Jame’s”.

Hold the phone, Harmony are you telling us that Helenaisn’tJame’s only child?

If that’s true, how many children has he sired?

Jame is an absolute creep, isn’t he?

Did he have kids with the same woman or different ones?

And did he have non-consensual sex with her or them to have more offspring?

Whatever way you slice it, Jame is an extremely unpleasant person.

Well, this isn’t unsettling…

Clearly, Jame has no problem with doing terrible things and that makes me extremely worried for Helly.

That’s the last we see of the pair before episode 9’s end credits roll.

What’ll happen, though, if Mark’s ‘innie’ finds out that Jame is holding Helly captive?

It’s not out of the question, then, that Jame would have a personal hand in that.

After all, Kier is one of his distant relatives and the man who created Lumon Industries.

Seth Milchick won’t betray Lumon

Now this is an interesting one.

Milchick isn’t going to follow in Harmony’s footsteps and betray Lumon

I don’t think he will, though.

Milchick is more of a company man than Harmony is or any of the MDR team are.

One of episode 9’s final shots shows his ‘innie’ enter the elevator before the doors shut.

The fate of Dylan’s ‘innie’, then, is left up in the air.

Unfortunately, we already know he won’t be allowed to leave.

We’ve seen time and again that Lumon doesn’t allow its severed employees to quit.

You’re not going anywhere, Dylan G…

That’s what happened to Burt and Irving’s Lumon personas when they were left go.

He’ll be sent right back to the severed floor like any other employee would be.

I do wonder, though, if he’ll become Mark’s ace in the hole next episode.
