Why Severance Is Likely Hiding Other Characters Who Have Been Severed

Severance Season 1 Teased Lumon’s Severance Plans

ultimately , it is worth exploring why this theory would make sense within the domain ofSeverance . As of the end ofSeveranceseason 1 , it is still undecipherable exactly what Lumon ’s all-encompassing plans are . However , what is clear is that Lumon is trying to make the public perception of severance more electropositive . The reason whySeverance ’s Helena Eagan twistwas included was to further this finish . As the heir to Lumon , Helena underwent severance to prove to the wide public that it was a viable humane operation and that if she could do it , anyone could .

Lumon ’s reasoning for increase public perception was so that the severance procedure could become commonplace in American society . Ricken and his friends being sever , among other people who applied for it , on the outdoor world would make this easier for Lumon . If the fellowship revealed that more people gave permit to be severed and that their out-of-door life had not been affected , and that people around them did not notice , it would make rift seem better to the public .

second , it is clean-cut Lumon has used discerp people for their own means . Ricken and his Quaker could be severed as a means of spying on top workers like Mark . That way , Lumon could keep an even closer watch on Mark when Mrs. Selvig / Cobel is not around . All of this supports the theory of hidden severed worker inSeverance , a hypothesis that could come to fruition in season 2 .
