Severance's New Episode Is Full of Revelations-and Potentially One Major Clue
Briefly

In the latest episode of Apple TV+'s 'Severance,' titled 'Chikhai Bardo,' viewers gain pivotal insights into the enigmatic Lumon Corporation and its work on consciousness severance. Mark’s wife, Gemma, is revealed to be alive within Lumon’s facilities, retaining memories of her past. The episode explores her fragmented identity as she shifts between forms, revealing the chilling nature of her situation. Key information surfaces regarding the testing floor where she is confined, and hints at an upcoming significant project, ‘Cold Harbor,’ which is essential for her potential release.
That's not to say that things are clear now. Far from it. But Friday's enrapturing episode, "Chikhai Bardo," has made a few things less opaque.
Gemma only takes on different, severed personalities when she crosses certain rooms' thresholds, or when an elevator takes her up to Lumon's severed floor and turns her into robotic office therapist "Ms. Casey."
Underneath, both literally and figuratively, is the woman whom outie Mark (Adam Scott) loves.
Once Mark finishes Cold Harbor, we learn, Gemma will leave the testing floor—but how exactly she will depart remains unsaid.
