Warning: This review of Severance season 2 episode 5 will contain spoilers.

Last week‘s bombshell reveal raised a number of questions for the plot of Severance going forward (some of which are addressed here), but episode 5 truly soars when it digs into the existential meaning of being severed. Irving (John Turturro) is gone. Helly (Britt Lower) was really Helena, an outie posing as an innie. Not to mention Mark (Adam Scott) and the situation with his missing/dead wife.
