Amazing episode and superb acting from John Turturro. I audibly gasped a couple times, easily the best new TV I have seen in a while.

The way Irv delivered "She's a fucking mole" is just so good. All the pain of confirming a trusted comrade is a rat, all the pain of telling others, the pain of not being listened to. Peak.
What is up with the fourth appendix though? Is it maybe some sort of way where the innies are being indoctrinated into killing their outie? And they have clones??? Too wild. Love it. Weird about how Marks severance seemed to be back in full force though, and also weird that the outies all went along with the retreat. Maybe next episode will be another one of those where we see the outie perspective at around the same time.
Do you think Irv is gone for good?

I hadn't even considered that Kier and his twin represented the innie-outie relationship. I figured it was just the usual "religion is weird about masturbating" thing. I'll need to rewatch because that's a lot to dig into. I'd like to figure out what the "small bride" represents as well.It does feel like the end goal of the Kier religion is to sever everyone, indoctrinate all innies, then discard the outies and rule as gods.
I don't think those are supposed to be clones in the episode. When we last see them standing together on the cliff it's very apparent they are just similar looking people with similar work outfits.
The innies work hard while the outies partake in frivolities.
That's probably the metaphor with the masturbation thing.
