Severance Season 2 Episode 7 Review

Truth About Ms. Casey Finally Comes To Light

Ms. Casey from the first season of the Severance franchise was definitely an intriguing character. However, no one expected Ms. Casey to actually be Mark’s Outie’s wife who was assumed dead. The main plot of the second season revolves around Mark Outie and his dedicated search for his long-lost wife. This also includes his Innie also searching for her at Lumon. The layers of mysteries surrounding Gemma are finally peeling off. As we move ahead toward the final episodes of the season, audiences can expect some major twists.

Mark And Gemma’s Past Relationship 

The seventh episode of the second season surprisingly explored the past as well as the present of both the main characters. The episode was perfectly executed with glimpses of the past relationship between Mark and Gemma. The story of her disappearance and an insight into how Gemma’s life with Mark was before she ended up in Lumon hooked us to the end. A love story getting ruined because of spontaneous abortion and multiple failed pregnancy attempts was hard to witness. The themes resonated with families going through similar situations. 

Mark And Gemma’s Present Scenario 

Both Mark and Gemma’s current scenarios have a stark difference from how their life was before their relationship shattered. It was pretty obvious that the process of reintegration would seriously affect Mark. However, his character passing the entire 7th episode unconscious is definitely concerning. On the other hand, Gemma’s character finally took center stage. This is something the audience has been waiting for for a while. The seventh episode of Severance Season 2 had some major reveals and questions answered about Gemma’s character.

Cold Harbour Returns To The Story

Gemma is still trapped at the Lumon facility. Her Innie takes over every time she walks through a new door. Gemma’s reaction to the “dentist” visit was definitely a surprise. She looked absolutely terrified. Gemma also feels pain when her Outie walks out of the room. It is clear at this point of the series how Lumon is testing Gemma behind every closed door. The reason that we know is definitely wicked still remains a mystery. The fan-favorite mystery of Cold Harbour has also returned to the center of the show with more teases.

Mallor And His Obsession With Gemma

The episode did not explore or reveal anything more about the Cold Harbour mystery. However, it is definitely going to play an important part in the upcoming final episodes of the second season. We had absolutely no difficulty in hating Doctor Mallor. This compliments the story as well as the actor’s execution of his character. Mallor has developed some kind of sick obsession with Gemma. This is the reason he has her trapped and forced to love him. The particular scene where he tells Gemma he loves him and forces her to say it back boiled our blood.

How Does The Episode And What To Expect From The Upcoming Episodes?

The 7th episode of Severance Season 2 also surprised the viewers with Gemma’s attempted escape from Lumon. Gemma ended up hitting Mallor with a chair as she tried her best to escape. However, it did not end well when she reverted to Ms. Casey and got sent back to Mr. Milchick. The episode concluded with a flashback of the cops arriving to inform Mark about his wife’s “death.” The following episodes are expected to follow Gemma’s story which definitely has our interest.
