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

What's Cobel's plan in all of this?
Why did they kidnap Gemma and fake her death?
What was the point in any of outie Burt's scenes?
What's Asal Regabi's deal?
What is Lumon actually trying to do? Cold Harbor is apparently about fully getting rid of past emotions when severed... But isn't that how severance worked in the first place??

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

I'm pretty sure they were going to kill Gemma? Remember that Drummond said they were killing the goat to bury it with (a great woman) so that it could guide her back to Kier? I'm pretty sure he was referring to Gemma there.

Yes but he says entomb not kill, could just be permanent suppression of the outie
