Severance is one of the most critically acclaimed shows, and with Season 2 hitting the screens, the audience is loving the seamless storytelling, as the makers waste no time in revealing crucial details. Until the fourth episode of the new season, the narrative followed the show's established format, but the ending of the fifth episode has made a major impact on the story.

In the latest episodes, Mark, portrayed by Adam Scott, continues on his path of discovery. Up until the fourth episode, the audience witnessed a steady pace as Helena Eagan was exposed.

Adding a comedic touch to the scene, Zach Cherry, who portrays Dylan G., delivered a humorous yet emotional eulogy.
