Oh, did you need solutions about WTF is occurring in Severance? Properly, how are you feeling after seeing that season 2 finale jam-packed with solutions, which solely led to extra questions?

Apple TV+'s workplace thriller didn’t maintain again within the second half of the season. Each episode was chock-full of revelations — from the goats, to what's occurring to Gemma (Dichen Lachman), to Burt (Christopher Walken) and Irving's (John Turturro) relationship, to Cobel's (Patricia Arquette) historical past at Lumon. However nothing may have ready followers for that game-changing finale, which featured twist after twist all the way in which till the scream-inducing remaining seconds.

The extraordinary episode, appropriately titled "Chilly Harbor," started with a significantly chill-inducing second as Helena's (Britt Decrease) father/Lumon CEO Jame Eagan (Michael Siberry) advised Innie Helly that he doesn’t really love his daughter; he “sees Keir” in her. Creepy! In the meantime, Innie Mark (Adam Scott) and Outie Mark acquired right into a combat (sure, with one another!) by way of a video digital camera about their subsequent plan of action till Cobel lastly clued Innie Mark in on what's really happening on the firm: "The numbers are your spouse. The MDR numbers in your console, they’re a doorway into the thoughts of your Outie’s spouse, Gemma Scout." The clusters that he's been submitting away? Every one made a brand new consciousness for her, a.okay.a. a brand new Innie. 24 new Innies whole! Mark's horror at what he's been complicit in doing to Gemma was palpable.

Severance finally revealed what's happening to Gemma, and Adam Scott says he's 'just so blown away'

Mark lastly returned to Lumon with a plan to avoid wasting Gemma, however he begrudgingly needed to end the Chilly Harbor file first, a lot to Jame and Milchick's (Tramell Tillman) delight. Milchick's ensuing comedy routine and "choreography and merriment" dance efficiency alongside a full-on marching band in MDR was immediately a collection spotlight (give Tillman all of the awards now), however then Helly and Dylan (Zach Cherry) trapped him within the rest room, giving Mark the prospect to slide away to search out Gemma.

His huge rescue mission went sideways when he interrupted Mr. Drummond (Darri Ólafsson) forcing Lorne (Gwendoline Christie) to kill one in every of her beloved goats, Emil. Mark and Drummond acquired into an all-out combat within the hallway, and Lorne saved Mark by serving to him overpower Drummond. Mark tried to make use of Drummond as a hostage, however by accident killed him whereas taking the elevator as a result of he transitioned again into Outie Mark and misplaced management. He was capable of finding and reunite with Gemma and safely get her out of Lumon. The 2 of them even made it via the severed ground, transitioning again into Innie Mark and a really confused Ms. Casey, but it in some way labored. Gemma was free!

However as a result of that is Severance, a season can't finish with no large, maddening cliffhanger: Innie Mark selected to remain inside Lumon's severed ground with Helly quite than letting Outie Mark get out and run away with Gemma, forcing Gemma to look at helplessly exterior the door as her husband's Innie turned away from freedom, grabbed Helly's hand, and smiled as they disappeared inside Lumon. The crimson finish credit match Gemma's shock and fury completely.

Beneath, collection stars Scott, Decrease, and Christie break down that wild season 2 finale.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why did Innie Mark select to remain inside Lumon with Helly quite than letting Outie Mark escape with Gemma?

ADAM SCOTT: I imply, for Innie Mark, it's a no brainer, proper? But it surely's troublesome — really, it's not, as a result of I feel emotionally it's a no brainer, however logic-wise, they went via logically what's in entrance of them and determined, "It’s best to go," however their hearts advised them one thing else. And I feel for Innie Mark and Helly, it's one factor, however then watching it, I really feel horribly for Gemma. Clearly, it's heartbreaking. And for Outie Mark too, they lastly had been proper there, and it acquired pulled out from underneath them. So I don't know, I’ve very combined emotions about it as a result of I consider it as a two-pronged resolution. And when you’ve gotten colliding pursuits, however you're in the identical physique, then it's going to come back to a head sooner or later.

Helly actually stood her floor with Milchick within the MDR division. What was it like filming that complete scene with the marching band?

BRITT LOWER: I performed the trumpet within the marching band in highschool, so it was unbelievable to be with that band. I imply, that marching band is so superb. After which to have that be occurring inside MDR, this house that we've all spent a lot time engaged on computer systems, simply explode with sound and this radical pleasure on this dire circumstance, it was wild.

I didn't assume that Severance may high Milchick's huge dance scene from final season. However then he pulled out a complete choreographed routine with the marching band.

LOWER: Yeah, my god, Trammell is a genius. That marching band sequence actually embodies, for me, the juxtaposition of the present, like this company world with this absolutely established band that they’ve on the prepared. There's one thing so splendidly surreal about that. And on the identical time, these characters are on this very human journey inside this surreal second. I really feel actually proud to be part of this unbelievable staff, the solid and crew and the designers of our present, who’ve constructed and put a lot sweat and thought into every side of this enormous puzzle that we're all constructing and fixing on the identical time.

Adam Scott and Britt Lower unpack that 'gentle' Mark and Helly moment on Severance

We lastly study extra about what Lumon is doing with all these goats: Lorne is compelled to kill them. However there's possibly extra to the story? What’s going on there?

SCOTT: I feel it’s nice [we didn't reveal all the answers]. I imply, individuals are at all times on the lookout for solutions of some type, and I at all times surprise if folks really need solutions or if they simply need slightly bit extra of a touch of what one thing could also be or is probably not. However I feel it is a satisfying angle on the goats, and hopefully it can fulfill folks.

GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE: I do even have the solutions, however one of many circumstances of doing the present from the inventive staff was they requested me one thing and I agreed to it, which was that I needed to really bear the severance process. That implies that I’ll by no means be capable to launch what the goats imply.

Inform me about little Emil the goat — how was it working with him on set?

CHRISTIE: Emil and I, we actually bonded, really. Even the animal handlers mentioned, "Emil has bonded with Gwendoline." I actually adored being round all these goats. It's heaven. I've at all times felt an odd affinity with goats, and Emil was a really skilled goat — a really younger goat, a correct little one star goat, and very well-behaved, however simply so affectionate and [full of character]. I didn't must act, I simply responded to the goat. It's form of a bit like using a horse in a method, in that I spotted you must calm your physique down and you must get in tune with the animal, and you must be open to actually actively listening to the animal and listening and responding in order that Emil wouldn't freak out an excessive amount of. I may possibly maintain Emil's legs in a sure method, or I may actually find out how Emil was comfy. And I discovered I fairly fell in love with that goat, and I felt very unhappy to be parted once we had been completed taking pictures the scene, and I stored making jokes, which no one laughed at, saying, "I'm so thrilled you've determined to provide me Emil as my wrap reward." Nobody laughed. Nobody responded. Emil has not arrived. I have to reside with that goat in actual life, really. It added to the fantastic, intense lunacy of the piece.

Gwendoline Christie debuts as mysterious Lumon employee Lorne in Severance sneak peek (exclusive)

What was it like filming the massive combat scene with Mark, Drummond, and Lorne?

SCOTT: It was so enjoyable. The truth that I acquired to be in a combat scene with Gwendoline Christie was the best. You see simply her experience and the way good she is as an actor, but in addition with fight like that, she simply places a thousand p.c of herself into it, and simply emotionally, the combat turns into a part of her emotional journey. She places every part she has into it. So we had been all simply making an attempt to maintain up with Gwendoline.

CHRISTIE: I haven't talked to anybody about this, in any respect! That is the primary time I’ll talk about that. It was thrilling and thrilling. And I spotted that I’ve a complete fight lexicon, and I really like performing it and telling the story via the combat. And it was additionally thrilling as a result of we shot [episode] 3 a substantial period of time earlier than the ultimate episode, so there was numerous house to consider how ache manifests itself and the way it releases itself, and the lengths that individuals will go to. And so I actually completely loved working with everybody and dealing with Darri, who's such an distinctive actor and a beneficiant soul, and Adam. I can't cease saying how gratifying it was, however actually, it's been one of the vital thrilling inventive endeavors of my profession.

How did you movie that intricate, escalating argument between Innie Mark and Outie Mark, all going down on a video digital camera?

SCOTT: It was the very first thing we shot once we acquired again from the break for the strike, which was like 9 months or one thing. So it was diving within the deep finish, getting again to the present after some time. I used to be freaked out about it — I feel anybody can be freaked out about how that is going to finish up, how that is going to feel and look, as a result of it may so simply go improper. In my residence, I simply recorded dummy tracks on my cellphone simply to place into the digital camera so I may watch one thing, and I simply form of performed to these. Additionally, whereas we had been taking pictures, I used to be recording on the digital camera once I was holding it, so then we may take that footage and use it for the response.
