Severance Season 2: Huge plot twist on the cards. Details here

Seems like the makers of Severance have done a flip to what was implied in the premiere of Season 2. The episode revealed that Lumon did not fire Cobel but was offered a promotion by her. After the three year break, the premiere indicated that Cobel lost her job as Lumon fired her after the uprising and the Macrodata Refinement’s contingency plan. But, the reality was Lumon did not intend to lose Cobel while Milchick had replaced her as floor manager.

After trying hard, Helly doesn’t deliver her speech about severed employees’ subjugation in season 1’s ending. Cobel was called for a meeting with Helena who offered her a promotion as the head of the new ‘Severance Advisory Counsel’ instead of terminating her. Cobel did not accept the position and packed her bag, leaving it unclear as to whether she still wants to keep her job or not.

Cobel acknowledges that this job offer is to keep her mouth shut. Through season 1, Cobel was a part of Lumon’s operations and mission. With her refusing the job offer, there can be a turn of events. Cobel was feeling undervalued in season 1 as this was clearly portrayed when the Board refused to acknowledge her contribution in reaching the company’s goal.

When Cobel was originally fired, she tried to regain her job but eventually realised that Lumon is promoting her for the sake of controlling her actions and keeping an eye. Lumon knows that Cobel is one the most loyal employees and a valuable asset. There is a fear in Lumon as she knows that Cobel has inside information and possesses the power to expose their illegal experiments and disturbing ways of conduct. This might be the reason for her quitting and leaving instead of accepting the promotion.

Cobel is blamed by the Eagen family for disobedience and being rebellious. They don’t trust her to take care of any uprising in the first place.The Innies will believe that Lumon gets rid of Cobel and the company may hold a facade that they are making changes to manage the severed floor and treat them.

By the end of the second episode Coben leaves and it appears that she is trying to stray away from Loben but there is also a sense of temptation to come back and stand against her.
