The return saw Mark’s (Adam Scott) innie resume work at Lumon with a new team after he and his co-workers staged a coup that allowed their innies and outies to briefly co-exist. The so-called ‘Macrodat Uprising’ led to ‘severance reform’, including greater welfare measures for employees, but Mark is told his original team Irving (John Turturro), Helly (Britt Lower) and Dylan (Zach Cherry) refused to accept the new deal.

After failing to bond with his new co-workers, Mark eventually manages the board to convince his original crew to return to Lumon – but viewers are convinced something is awry. On Reddit, Severance fans are convinced that Helly’s outie, Helena Egan, heiress to the Lumon empire, has gone undercover as Helly to influence Mark and the team.

They have offered multiple reasons for their ‘mind-blowing’ theory including Helly’s behaviour toward Mark, her explanation for her outie’s life and her ‘fumbling’ with her computer station. ReadMyStuff explained: ‘I’ve seen a number of posts where people are convincing themselves she isn’t. But upon my third rewatch of the new episode I simply cannot not present the case for why Helena has gone undercover as her innie as part of a clean-up/revenge plot against our macrodata refiners.’.
