    If she went willingly they definitely lied about what she’d be going for. I wonder if they told her it was a fertility clinic or something.

    A lot to chew on but 10/10 incredible stuff. There’s a scene transition with Gemma’s eyes and this low humming sound they really stuck with me

    I am worried some people may use the severance procedure for blocking out Severance spoilers in this thread. And I can’t condone that.

    They could honestly be red herrings to throw off the workers at Lumon (and viewers). They want to keep the work mysterious to not let them catch on.

    There's no way she was saying bye bye. At least to me. I mean the marriage was def not the honeymoon it was earlier, but I don't think she was leaving him. At worse she was lying about where she was going and was going to go to a Lumon fertility thing to do something(like maybe the cabins?). And at that point possibly was kidnapped or not allowed to leave. From the amount they gave us I don't think the marriage was to that grim of a point at all.

    I don’t think she was doing a secret goodbye. I think they were showing that both of them thought this was just any other night in their loving but strained relationship. If it was supposed to be a big reveal to us that she was brainwashed and was initially a part of her own disappearance, I feel like there’d be a confirmation line between her and the creepy doctor where he reminded her that she chose this, so that it would fully land with the audience. She was kidnapped whether it was a literal kidnapping or whether she was tricked into going to a location and then held against her will once there. That specific we don’t know yet—are the cops in on it? Were the friends she was going to see part of the Kier cult? Etc.

    I think it’s possible she went willingly but I dunno. She wanted him to come with her that night, she seemed to still love him…willingly disappearing even just overnight doesn’t really track for me. I think it’s more likely that either a) the event was Lumon fertility clinic adjacent and while there that night she was convinced to stay (brainwash option) or b) the car crash was somewhat real, caused by Lumon as an opportunity to kidnap her. Could see something like option a where it’s an event hosted by the people sending the cards in the mail and it’s like an MLM pitch for a way to get pregnant or take her sadness away only hey it’s an invasive medical procedure that isn’t perfect yet and it’s run by a cult.

    tldr I think she went out that night completely unsuspecting and at most she was tricked while there into signing up for a medical study that might fix her infertility without realizing she’d be throwing herself into years of captivity.

    (all that said it gives me pause that in the present day stuff we saw at Lumon she was going along with everything without much of a fight)

    I like the darkness in Dylan’s theory about her having gone into cold harbor but they keep killing that innie. But I don’t think that makes sense for two reasons, one being I can’t think of a logical reason her outtie wouldn’t remember and two being that the importance of Mark finishing the file feels like it fits more with rooms not being ready until the files are done. I think it’s something like they’re pulling information from her brain since they chipped her and MDR’s refinement of that data is how they figure out Gemma specific ways to test the severed parts of her with simulations of emotional situations her outtie experienced for real. Mark is so important because he’s the person outside of her herself who would have the greatest intuition of how she perceived things so somehow that translates to his innie being able to sort the numbers in a way that means something. Prob relates to the four tempers but that stuff is gonna feel like nonsense to me until it gets more explained.
