Helly becomes a revolutionary in "Severance" finale

Britt Lower, who plays Helly R. in the series “Severance,” has shared insights about her character's journey in the Season 2 finale. Helly begins the series as a reluctant employee at Lumon Industries but becomes a revolutionary by the end of the season. In the finale titled “Cold Harbor,” Helly teams up with Mark, played by Adam Scott, to rescue Mark’s wife, Gemma, from Lumon. Their plan could lead to the downfall of the corporation and help Mark merge his work and home lives. Helly encourages Mark to complete their mission despite her own struggles, as her outie self is Lumon heir Helena Eagan. Lower emphasized that Helly’s character has found her inner strength, especially after experiencing loss and rallying her co-workers. She finds new purpose in fighting for all of the “innies,” or trapped employees, at Lumon. The finale features a struggle against Mr. Milchick, a corporate manager, as Helly inspires the group to stand together. In a dramatic climax, Mark has a choice between following Gemma home or running to Helly. The episode ends with Mark and Helly escaping together, leaving their future uncertain. Speculations arise about Helly’s true identity, but Lower prefers to keep the mystery open for the next season. Apple has confirmed that “Severance” will return for a third season, where more answers are expected. Lower maintains an air of mystery about what lies ahead for her character and Mark.
