Warning: This review of Severance season 2 episode 2 will contain spoilers.

After last week’s season premiere focused mostly on the plight of the innies following the events of the season 1 finale, it seems fitting that Severance season 2 episode 2 would focus mostly on the outies. In fact, “Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig” picks up immediately after Mark’s (Adam Scott) innie blurts out the truth about Gemma. The episode doesn’t advance the plot of the season significantly, but it fills in some necessary gaps, while highlighting some of the show’s best secondary characters.
