I don’t think so. He was acting strange but he was also too familiar with the severed floor layout and the “mysterious and important work”. He didn’t have the luxury of surveillance footage like Helena.

Also, innie Mark knows a hell of a lot more than outie Mark right now and is rightfully pissed like innie Dylan, so that explains if he didn’t seem exactly like normal innie Mark. I think Mark’s reintegration is just slowly kicking in. Outie initially lies about the weekend, but he does know, but he’s not seeing everything from both sides yet.

Helly is the one that knows the least of what happened, which was the opposite for Helena who was playing in both worlds up until now.

I agree with both of y’all. But why would he ask for a quick funeral? Why would innie mark do that?

This, seemed odd.

The actress that plays Natalie does some fantastic facial work.

Also I think Mark was acting so weird because he doesn’t know how to tell Helly that he fricked Helena. The constant wanting to get back to work was just to keep from having to confront that IMO.

Is there any doubt at this point that Miss Huang is either and android or a clone?

Why was the exports hall guy’s face hidden and O&D looked extremely uncomfortable in his presence. My first thought is it’s Fields and Lumon is keeping tabs on outie Burt.

The performance review was awesome and hilarious. The paperclip feedback had me dying. I thought they were going to skip over the new team and or to missteps for a moment.

Also welcome back Ruthless Milchick.
It seemed he toned down while vying for the floor manager position. Also it was incredible to see how everyone in the performance review viewed the innies.

Im starting to buy into the android idea with her and also Natalie. Natalie gives me some strong Westwood vibes for sure. Miss Huang is clearly some kind of spy for the company I don’t think they are really trying to even hide that.

Stuff like that keeps making me think Milcheck is severed or fully controlled by the company in some way. A regular person wouldn’t listen to a performance review like that and take it seriously, big words and paper clips? Cmon

Yes. Perhaps better. The first couple of episodes of Season 1 are a little slow. Season 2, every episode has been pretty awesome.

Not enough Ricken this episode. He made the Trojan’s Horse reference, but I’m wondering if there is any significance to him calling it Trojan’s Horse instead of Trojan Horse since it is also the name of the episode.

You know who was a big player in the Trojan Horse story?

What is the story of Helen of Troy?
In Greek mythology, Helen of Troy was originally from Sparta and she was married to Menelaus. She then fled to Troy with Paris, starting the Trojan War. When the Greeks won the war, she returned to Sparta with her husband.

Who is Helen's rightful husband?
According to most stories, Menelaus is Helen's rightful husband. She returns with him after the war. Some versions of the story suggest that she only left with Paris in the first place because Aphrodite manipulated her into believing that she loved him.

How many husbands did Helen of Troy have?
The simplest answer to this question is two. However, it is unclear whether the second union involved any formal marriage arrangement. Helen's first husband was Menelaus of Sparta, and her second was Paris of Troy, with whom she fled her home, inadvertently starting the Trojan War.

How did Helen become Helen of Troy?
Helen of Sparta became Helen of Troy when she eloped with (or was abducted by) Paris, a Trojan prince. She remained in Troy until the end of the war, at which point she went back to Sparta with her husband, Menelaus.

Who did Helen of Troy really love?
Different writers throughout history have had their own interpretations of this question. Some say that she truly loved Menelaus all along and that Paris abducted her, while others say that she fell in love with Paris and was glad to go with him to Troy.

The more we venture into this world, the more we see the Eagen cult/religion is not only a requirement for the severed, but those who aren’t as well. They have particular values they are going to force into you.

Also, did anyone else pick up a huge reveal in oIrving and oBurt’s conversation?

“Then you showed up at my door the other day..”

I knew the five months timeline was bullshite. Incredible!

One question about Ep 2: How did the outies know who Milchick was when Mark didn't know his neighbor was Cobel?

I believe the outies dealt with Milkshake as their liaison for Lumon. Cobel was supposed to just stay on the severed floor and not interact with the outies.

If you remember when Mark called in sick from his outie, he has Milkshakes number. I would suppose all the outies would.

Good call, I agree with this.

I think Mark (still probably mostly innie perspective) has maybe a few different thoughts while back on severed floor.

1. frick Lumon, this is all bullshite.
2. Make Irv's funeral quick because he's not dead, he's just not here and...
3. I don't want to have to converse too much and tell Helly I fricked Helena, so let's get back to work.
4. (My opinion) Mark subconsciously knows Cold Harbor has to do with Gemma (the flash of her image is somewhere in his head) and another reason to get back to work.

Thoughts?

Did y’all think that it was outtie mark as an innie for most of this episode?

Just something for thought:

Let’s assume for the sake of argument that re-integration happens separately for the innie and outtie. Meaning one might be further along than the other.

Let’s say that innie Mark regains all of his outtie’s memories, but outtie Mark still only has bits and pieces. In that case, Mark has all of his memories when he goes onto the severed floor, but loses most of his innie’s memories when he goes home.

At that point, can you really say he’s “outtie Mark” when he’s on the severed floor? He might have his outtie’s memories but he’s still a different person as soon as he goes up the elevator. I would argue that he’s still “innie Mark” until his outtie regains all of his innie memories as well (at which point he’s just “Mark”).

Or is it more accurate to say that the innie is already just “Mark” while the outtie is still “outtie Mark”?

I don’t know, but it makes my head hurt.

Also, for me -- "severed floor" has now been shown to not be a level in a building, it's a switch (Glasgow) similar to OTC.

So Lumon can do the ORTBO.

Just ask you self how can they go down the elevator and start not from the office - but, in a completely different environment.
