I figured at some point(still could) get an episode centered more on Helly's outie and why she is doing this, because it's wild she didn't quit.
I'm still kinda shocked about that.
I'm also wondering if they can't just cut her loose
because what happened to Petey or how reversible this procedure is.
One basic theory I have is that Helly is another Petey.
Maybe Petey did all the crap Helly was doing when he first got there.
Accepted his fate on paper, but kept plotting, kinda like how Helly is doing now.
She's also helping Mark recreate the layout, originally made by Petey.
I feel like they would've connected the two w/ dialogue by now though
Also didn't they willingly let Petey go(5 years?)
They haven't shown it in a minute but Irving going through
what Petey did since his time almost up too(seeing those black blobs)
Maybe they aren't sure what would happen if someone just stopped working for them altogether. It's my understanding Severance is somewhat new, or hasn't been around no more than 5-6 years(basing off of that 5 year rule/petey abruptly leaving).
So maybe this is very much still experimental, we know it's controversial
Between that lady on TV defending the concept and the very public incident with Petey, they might not want or know how outie Helly would react.
Outie Helly seems like a willing participant too, that helps them out in a way.
Hope we get more gems dropped from my boy Rickens tonight
