dude, just artfully exploring all these themes and split characters have been amazing BUT to not retread all of that, they're going to have to get into the unanswered stuff, like what is Macrodata and why is it so important. how are the employees conditioned to do their work with the numbers and why couldn't they just replace people, like Mark?
and why is Marks wife like... severed so that her outie died but not her innie?

28:00 the split personality gets activated/deactivated by some technology that geographically based. and because it can be done remotely it's some form of Wifi signal thing...

Something easily missed from the First Season, is one of the Eagan's was named (or nicknamed, I can't remember) Pip. Pips was created by an Eagan.

Why do they even think that being severed means they'll be severed at every job. The surgery was clearly done by Lumon, activated when they went through their elevator, and the control panel is in Lumon.

Severance needs to be activated by Lumon technology, whether or not they consider it work is irrelevant.
If all you needed was to be at a job then communicating with outies wouldn’t be so difficult.

No guys you can't be severed at other jobs. It's not that confusing.
The chip activates when you're on the Severed floor or they activate the OTC. It doesn't get activated JUST because you're at work. You have to be in a space that Lumon specifically made to activate the chip.
But also this is how they keep Severed employees stuck in their position because if they leave they have no job experience they can provide to get a new job.

I'm watching along so I don't know the answer to any of this yet. I just have a theory that the work they do can only be done by someone who is severed. Why else would they try to hard to keep the team?

I mean, the sister was def going through a high tension and stressful scenario. She thought her baby got kidnapped, Mark’s innie confronted her out of nowhere, I think it’s understandable for her to put something as menial as what Mark was holding on the back burner.
