Description

Matt S. and Laci R. provide a spoiler-filled recap and analysis of season 2, episode 9 of Apple TV+'s Severance: "The After Hours."

Well folks, things are happening. Coming to a head, you might say. First, we wish a tearful bon voyage to Miss Huang as she graduates from the Wintertide Fellowship. And we send her off with the seriousness the situation calls for: with a song.

Then we check in on all our friends:

• Mark's sister has taken charge of his operation in light of his weakened brain condition. Surely they can trust Ms. Cobel, right?
• Outie Dylan's wife Gretchen confesses she's having an emotional affair with her husbands innie. It's a sad but all-too-common thing that happens in marriages.
• Irving has an unexpected intruder in his house, and he's invited to take a romantic—and potentially deadly—drive in the country.
• Helly has a conflict with her father and eggs.
• Helly's father has a conflict with having a normal name.
• Mr. Milchick has a conflict with Mr. Drummond.
• We're having a conflict with potentially saying goodbye to this show next week. :(

"The After Hours" was directed by Uta Briesewitz and written by Dan Erickson.

Severance stars Adam Scott, Britt Lower, John Turturro, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, and Patricia Arquette
