In Season 2, Episode 8 of 'Severance,' Harmony Cobel returns after a mysterious absence, revealing her struggles and connection to her childhood home, Salt's Neck. The episode explores the town's decline post-employment by Lumon and the emotional aftermath of her departure. Harmony's experiences highlight the impact of corporate abandonment on communities. Amidst her reflection, the tension builds around her loyalty to Lumon. The eerie ambiance of Salt's Neck and its residents hint at darker themes, particularly related to ether addiction, adding layers to Harmony's character and choices.
"Episode 8 provides answers - lots of answers, including a few we didn't know to ask - but it preserves the suspense around that last, critical query: whether she's turned on the company that fired her, or she remains loyal to Lumon, as she has her whole life."
"Harmony grew up - working in the factory that employed most of the local population. Now, like many American communities built around an employer who eventually abandoned them, Salt's Neck is a ghost town."
