Man.. That was a great episode, and leaves it at a cliffhanger where nobody knows where the story is going. I'm a bit disappointed at how many answers we didn't get this season, mainly
And also the two fake-out "Mark is reintegrating for real!" episodes in the season left a bad taste for me. That sideplot had ZERO payoff or consequences.
And it's starting to get a bit difficult suspending my belief that there's only ONE security guy in the entire company that manages 50 some people.
This is one of the best episodes in the series, but the season overall is a lot weaker than the first. But at least we got Milchick dancing again.
With Cobel, I wonder if she lied about Gemma being killed to get back at Lumon, since Cold Harbor was the miscarriage and not her or Mark's death we don't actually know they were going to kill her compared to just using the overtime contingency full time and suppressing her outie completely.
That being said they did kidnap her and wanted someone who was assumed dead so would be a cheap shot by the writers to make the whole thing a big misunderstanding
Cobel is working for Lumon in the last episode. To what end? Who knows? How else did she know about Mark S an Helly R's romance? She was gone from the Severed Floor long before that was a thing. The birthing shed was the very first interaction she'd had with Mark S since her firing because of the OTC event.
The only way she would have known is if someone from Lumon told her. The only reason Lumon would have told her is because she was brought back in the fold.
Outie Mark knew about the Helly romance too though, calling her Heleny, I don’t remember Cobel being the source of that
