Okay Severance squad if you are anything like us you are completely hooked on Season 2 . The mysteries are getting deeper the twists are getting wilder and we are all desperately trying to figure out what Lumon Industries is REALLY up to. But here's the bittersweet news: we are heading into the home stretch. Yep Season 2 is speeding towards its finale and things are about to get seriously intense. Let's unpack the latest episode and talk about how many more mind-bending rides we have left.
Episode 7 "Chikhai Bardo" Just Dropped a Bomb: Gemma's Twisted Reality and Mark's Heartbreaking Past
This week's episode " Chikhai Bardo " is a game-changer. Seriously. It's intense revealing and maybe even a little bit terrifying. It focuses big time on Gemma Mark's presumed-dead wife and what her life has actually been like at Lumon. Turns out it is way darker than we could have imagined.
We finally see what Gemma's day-to-day is and it is bleak. Lumon is running some truly messed up experiments on her. They've severed her into multiple versions of herself and are putting her through all kinds of bizarre trials in these creepy rooms. Think torture chamber dentist visits unsettling plane rides and endless thank you notes in a Christmas sweater – yeah it is THAT weird.
These rooms seem to be designed to mess with Gemma's head targeting her fears and even echoing memories from her life with Mark. Speaking of Mark Episode 7 also throws us into flashbacks of how Mark and Gemma met their love story and the tragedy that led them to Lumon. It is a heartbreaking look at their relationship and how grief and loss played a huge role in their choices. We see their joy their struggles their dreams of having a family and the pain of infertility. It is emotional gut-wrenching stuff.
"Chikhai Bardo" really peels back the layers showing us just how sinister Lumon is and the cruelty they are capable of. And it leaves us with some major questions about Gemma's fate and Lumon's endgame.
Hold on Tight Folks: Only 3 Episodes Left of Severance Season 2!

Yep you read that right we are rapidly approaching the finale and things are bound to escalate even further. The tension is already through the roof and with so few episodes remaining you know the answers are coming and probably some even bigger shocks too.
Think about it all those mysteries all those questions we have been obsessing over are going to start getting answered. What is Lumon REALLY trying to achieve with Severance? What is the deal with Gemma and Cold Harbor? Will Mark and his innie crew ever truly break free? And what about Cobel where has she been? We are counting down the days to get some resolution but also kind of dreading the end of this amazing season.
Burning Questions After Episode 7: What We NEED To Know in the Final Episodes
Episode 7 has us all buzzing with theories and questions. Here are just a few things we are desperate to find out in these last three episodes:
- What is Cold Harbor? Dr. Mauer mentions it as Gemma's final room. Is it some kind of ultimate test or something far more sinister?
- How did Gemma end up at Lumon? Was she kidnapped? Did she agree to something without knowing the full truth? Her backstory is still shrouded in mystery.
- Will Mark save Gemma? Mark's outie is starting to remember and feel things from his innie life. Could this be the key to him rescuing Gemma?
- What is Lumon's ultimate goal? They are clearly experimenting on severance for some larger purpose but what is it? World domination? Something even weirder?
- Where is Cobel and will she return? Harmony Cobel has been absent for a few episodes now. Is she gone for good or is she plotting something behind the scenes? We need Patricia Arquette back in action!
- Will the innies and outies truly merge? Reintegration is becoming a bigger and bigger plot point. What are the consequences and will it actually work?
These are just scratching the surface. Severance is a show that rewards close watching and deep thinking and we are ready to put on our thinking caps for these final episodes.
