Severance Season 2, Episode 6: The Answer to a Burning Question about Innies and Outies
The latest episode of Apple TV+’s hit series Severance, Season 2, Episode 6, has left fans with a lot to talk about. While many are still reeling from the show’s mind-bending plot twists, this latest installment has sparked a particularly intense debate: what exactly is the difference between innies and outies?
For those unfamiliar, innies and outies are a metaphorical concept within the show, referring to the two distinct camps of people who work at Lumen Industries, the mysterious corporation at the heart of the series. Innies are employees who have undergone the company’s revolutionary severance procedure, erasing their work memories and allowing them to maintain a separate, normal life.
Outies, on the other hand, are those who have not undergone the procedure, exposed to the harsh realities of their work lives and the darker aspects of the company. This divide has long plagued fans, with many wondering about the consequences of this stark dichotomy.
With this latest episode, creators Dan Erickson, Ben Stephenson, and Zack Van Amburg finally gave fans the answers they’ve been waiting for. In an unexpected twist, it was revealed that innies and outies are not mutually exclusive. In fact, it’s entirely possible for someone to possess characteristics of both groups.
Fans’ initial reactions ranged from shock to euphoria, with many praising the show’s ability to subvert their expectations. On social media, Twitter users were abuzz with speculation, theories, and arguments:
