Severance Recap: Into the Woods
Milchick takes the refiners on what can only be described as the worst work trip of all time.
The snow that blankets the forest recalls the endless white hallways on the severed floor, and the episode is nearly devoid of color with the notable exceptions of the “MDR blue” tents and the bright red of their torches and space heaters that provide the only warmth. The circumstances surrounding many aspects of the trip seemed both surreal and unreal, and at times I was left wondering if Lumon had activated a yet-unknown-to-us part of the severance chip (à la The Matrix) to send the refiners on this journey in their minds. He shows them the picture of Woe — she looks a lot like the chick from The Ring — and then chirps, “The End!” Everyone is shook, except for Helena, who has probably heard this story a thousand times before and has just been waiting for the opportunity to laugh at how absolutely absurd it is.
