0:00 hi kids what's for dinner Hey welcome back screen Crush I'm Ryan Ary and this is everything you need to know before watching Severance season 2 Lumen Industries a biotech company has created a new medical procedure known as Severance this procedure is a brain implant that separates your Consciousness into two essentially creating an entirely new and additional person within the same brain at work this any is conscious and at home the Audi is conscious the two minds are completely separate and know nothing about their alternate selves so this isn't all that bad for the Audi because they never have to experience a day of work but as for the Ines all they know is their life inside the office the procedure is super controversial and the morality of it is often questions by those on the outside looking in and that decision was controversial ethically

0:46 socially morally scientifically essentially imagine that you show up to work every day the elevator doors close and then your workday is done but for the any the end of your workday just leads into a new work day and guys by the way we have this great new severage inspired parody shirt praise Kier on a Post-It note if you know you know so the first season follows Mark s who has just been promoted to manager of his Department macro data refinement Mark's promotion comes following the sudden disappearance of his best friend and former manager Petey I'm sorry Mark you guys are one of my favorite office friendships Mark is accompanied by his co-workers Irving and Dylan as well as a new hire heli a young woman still acclimating to her new existence on the outside Mark s's Audi Mark Scout is still reeling from the loss of his wife who died in a car accident this tragedy is what pushed

2:19 welcome party being hosted by the Charming yet creepy and controlling Mr milch hel attempts to write her Audi a note explaining her unhappiness I don't want to do the file sorting thing or the never seen the sun thing or the disappearing friends this is when we learned that any typee of communication via symbols can be detected and intercepted in the elevators now following hel's breaking of the rules she is about to be taken to the breakroom by Greener for punishment Mark intervenes and takes responsibility resulting in him being the one to go to the breakroom there Mark is forced to read a pre-written apology over and over and over again while connected to a lie detector back in the office we see Irving struggle with staying awake and he dreams about a black liquid consuming his desk following this episode Irving is sent for a wellness check with Miss Casey At The Wellness Center Irving meets Bert from Optics and design most people only think of on D when new

3:05 handbook totes come in well I love those too on the outside Mark is once again confronted by pety pety has undergone what's known as reintegration meaning that he has been unsaved and his two selves are now one this operation is causing him to have severe headaches and confusion pety is trying to convince Mark that Lumin is bad news and he shares with him a recording of Mark's innie in the break room reciting the apology forgive me for the harm I have caused this world the next day while Mark is at work we see his sister Devon who is pregnant and his eccentric brother-in-law ricken delivers a copy of his new book against the door or to the side I think either's really good coell intercepts the book and brings it to her office at Lumen to check for hidden messages coel's presence frightens pety and he runs away
