The long-awaited reunion of the innies at Lumon Industries finally unfolded in the premiere episode of Severance Season 2 on Apple TV+. The core foursome—Mark S (Adam Scott), Helly R (Britt Lower), Dylan (Zach Cherry), and Irving (John Turturro)—reunited to piece together events since their uprising in the Season 1 finale. Yet, Helly’s evasive behavior took center stage, sparking curiosity.
In an interview, series creator Dan Erickson shed light on why Helly, whose outie is Helena Eagan, daughter of Lumon CEO James Eagan, chooses to hide this critical revelation. While the others openly share their experiences during the five-month gap, Helly fabricates a story about meeting the Night Gardener. Erickson explained her reluctance stems from a profound sense of shame and fear.
“Helly discovering she is an Eagan represents the ultimate shame,” Erickson said. “Would she share it immediately, or would it take time to process before revealing it? Her hesitation reflects her fear of judgment and rejection from her peers, knowing she’s tied to the very system they oppose.”
