- ** 1/15/2025 - Just wanted to add a few comments here. I didn't expect this video to get so many views, and I'm thrilled (BTW, I don't make a penny off of this video). I was a professional editor here in L.A. for many years (hence, my name "laeditor"), so this was just a fun thing for me to create. I absolutely loved the first season of Severance, thought it was brilliant, and have always been a fan of when a show revisits scenes from a different perspective. I didn't want to disrespect the original format, or risk losing the emotional impact that the creators intended by splitting the scenes into different episodes, but after reading all the comments, I do believe that most people have enjoyed seeing this scene play out continuously. Keep the comments coming, but please remember to be kind and respectful. It's what we can all easily do, for free, to make this crazy world a better place.
** Original Description: Just for fun, I decided to edit together the scenes from the AppleTV show "Severance", Episode 1 and 2, where Helly is attempting to leave Lumon shortly after her "inny" awakens.
“When we heard you were coming here, it was like a miracle.”
Now knowing who she is, it makes sense.
Yep!
who is she?
@@SnazzieTV why ask that when you can just experience the moment yourself? Go watch it
@@SnazzieTV a member of the family that started the entire severance procedure in the first place
@@SnazzieTV she the daughter of the CEO of the company
The context of this scene really changes after having watched the show
No? Really?
Great edit! It feels realy satisfying to see these scenes all shown together in sequence.
Thank you so much. I loved the way the two sides of this scene were done in the show by splitting them out into two episodes, but at the same time, my mind was craving to view them continuously, just for fun. But what a great concept, and what a great scene. Love this show. So well done.
Dam this show was perfect. All that mystery was built up and answered within a good amount of time. Unlike other shows where the mystery DRAGS ON and by the time the answers come, you don't care anymore.
"She's alive!"
At first I thought that meant to trick them, that they were not actually leaving nor they ever had the choice to, just a mind trick. It hits harder knowing it was her outer self coming back in, damn
Of course. Seen from the innys perspective its an infinite loop. Everytime she tries to open the door and get out, she comes back to the same place. Actually she succeded but has no memories of her outy coming back by her own. From the innys point of view, it all happens in an instant, just like when its time to go back home. They are going upstairs in the elevator and suddenly they are going down.
@@RikudoSennin47it really is a never ending hell where you cant leave or sleep
@@RikudoSennin47 It's an infinite loop for both them really. Wake up go somewhere, it's evening, go home, go to sleep. It's an allegory of the home/work life compartmentalization.
@@RikudoSennin47 The interesting thing to me is that a lot of outies sever because of grief or depression but the severance process ensures that they will never have a moment's distraction from that grief where an unsevered person would at least have the distraction of work.
Thanks for putting this together. Can’t wait for season two!
My pleasure, and me 2!
Beautiful editing. The transitions are INCREDIBLY SEAMLESS! Well done! 😃
Thanks so much!
Awesome edit. My wife gave me a blank stare after showing this to her because she forgot these weren’t from the same episode. Well done haha
Lol, thank you.
I need to re-watch. I had completely forgotten about the exchange in the stairwell and having seen the whole show, it completely changes it.
this is a great edit. but I am kind of concerned by the number of people who didn't understand these scenes until now.
Now I get this scene. The first time I watched it, I didn’t understand it. The inny was fighting against the outy. The outy wanted to stay in lumon to see the process through but the inny saw what it was like in there and wanted out.
Exactly. Inny wants out, but Outy wants in, and has no clue how Inny feels. The thing that always rubs me the wrong way here is how Mr. Milchick is lying to Outy Helly. He's a great character (and actor), but I'm hoping we see his background developed more in Season 2. I suppose he has to lie to Outy here, because of who she really is and what Lumon is trying to accomplish in the outside world.
@@laeditor SPOILERS:
How is he lying to Outie Helen? I get the feeling that Outie Helen knows exactly how awfull it is for the innie, with her being the daughter of the CEO and all, but she really doesen t care.
Milchick is simply telling her the truth, that innie Helly is learning that she wants to be there, becayse she litterally can t go anywhere else.
SPOILERS:
Thanks for the comment, but my interpretation of the scene is different than yours. When Inny Helly first comes through the door, Milchick says, "Your orientation's been so much fun". That's a lie. Up until that moment, Inny Helly has angrily refused to answer the interview questions, thrown a speaker at Mark's head, and demanded to leave. Not sure how that's "so much fun". Then, Milchick says, "...we help by bringing them here to the stairwell...". That's also a lie. Nobody brought Inny Helly there. She demanded to leave because she doesn't want to be there. Finally, Outy Helly looks at the door and asks, "Oh no, I'm trying to leave?", and Milchick replies, "No, no". Again, that's a lie. Inny Helly is trying to leave. An honest answer from Milchick would be something like, "Yes, your Inny is trying to leave, but that's normal for new severance employees".
@@laeditor I agree with your interpretation. SPOILERS:
What's especially great from a writing point-of-view is that Milchick has already been shown to be duplicitous with the innies. But here he's being duplicitous with an outie too. And, because of this, his "It's amazing what you're doing" can be easily dismissed as him just blowing smoke up outie Helly's backside to get her to play along (even with the previous bit about a 'miracle') so you don't really click that he's showing genuine servility. Yes, by the end of the season, it's pretty clear that Helena knows about how innies are treated and doesn't care. She may even know at this stage - even before her innie tries to kill her(self). But Milchick is still lying to her here.
👍. Actually that Milchick character (odd name) didn't have to even be there in the stairwell, as she wanted to go back in anyway.
I want to compliment you on such an amazing edit. It perfectly captures the confusing perspective of someone who has undergone severance.
@@joelfenner9179 Thank you!
That those 2 scenes go together FINALLY hit me last week, during my fourth rewatch. Great to see it stitched together like this! Thank you!
My pleasure
No offense but it took you 4 times watching to realize?
Such a good show.
Yes, fantastic. It's not often I get excited about a show, but this one is the whole package...great acting (and casting), writing, directing, set design, cinematography, music...the whole kit and caboodle. I'm looking forward to season 2, and am really hoping they don't "Lost" it, if you know what I mean (plot points that were thrown out there and never developed). 🤞🤞
@@laeditor It's a while since I'd seen the show, but just hearing the tinkle of the piano playing that lilting tune brought it all back....that and Britt Lower😍.
Exactly. WHERE IS SEASON 2
I just started watching the show a few days ago, finished it now. Man I really can’t wait at all for season 2! I only have to wait a few months to January, and even that is too far- so I really feel for everyone who watched it closer to when it was first released
I feel like if it weren’t for the risk of spoiling the twist, Milchick would’ve called her Helena and not Helly when she was out in the stairwell.
Agreed. Plus I think Helena acted a bit too much like Helly in this scene. I get they didn't want to spoil anything, but from the little we've seen of Helena, she's colder than Helly and obviously more authoritative. But that didn't come across here.
Helly could be a nickname for her outie that they used as her innie's name.
@@Paul2377 While I agree, I feel like switching back and forth like that would probably be a little disorienting
These two scenes were some of the most brilliant of the 1st season
I like how they both said “What the hell?”
Never noticed that they both say “what the hell” on their second attempt
Of course. Seen from the innys perspective its an infinite loop. Everytime she tries to open the door and get out, she comes back to the same place. Actually she succeded but has no memories of her outy coming back by her own. From the innys point of view, it all happens in an instant, just like when its time to go back home. They are going upstairs in the elevator and suddenly they are going down.
Milchick going “it’s going.. fairly” means this a rather a typical response, for new hires. I do love that we get both perspectives of this scene on each side of the door.
I didn't get it until I watched it the second time around. But I love how they show you thru only Helly R.s eyes. Then only from Helena's eyes. I hope they do more of that in season 2. The Innies days are only indicated by the closing and opening of the door at 5pm because they don't get to sleep.
Milichick doesn’t have severance . He’s a babysitter
Incredible editing!
When she says “Where am I?”, it can be assumed that this may be how she feels as an outie at times. I think, that putting it together, it may be possible that when she goes into the lift, she then appears at the end of her day, in the lift, and is able to leave through the car park. However, for the innie, they are able to leave through the stairwell, and this scene explains what happens when she does that. Alternatively, the innie is unable to leave through the elevator, as when she goes in, due to the outie seeing as though nothing is wrong, the innie proceeds to go through the elevator and work on an infinite loop. The outie being none the wiser, and the innie relying solely on the outie to escape means she will never leave, unless the outie decides to quit. Even in the case that the innie quit, the decision was put in the outies hands. This is a story about abuse of power. It is not by any means a fair or just system.
I have a crush on Britt Lower.And can't wait for season 2 ☺️
Zach Cherry (Dylan G) actually said he watched this edit (on the severance podcast)
I like how the background music is different between the inny's and outy's scenes
For sure. The music throughout the show, both score and soundtrack, is fantastic. Kudos to all those involved.
this is fucking sick
Thanks. :-)
edited very well
congrats you got mentioned by dylan's actor on the official severance podcast!!!
@pixistix_ That's awesome. Do you know the episode? I'm gonna try and find the mention.
@laeditor episode 2! he says it around the part they're talking about half loop and relating to the scene where helly keeps finding herself out in the stairwell
@pixistix_ I just found it. If he's talking about my video...very cool. Not sure if there are others like mine out there.
Thank you
My pleasure!
Luminal space

WAIT WAIT WAITTTTTTT HOLD UPPPPPPP. THIS MAKES SENSE
This is me on Friday at 5pm and Monday at 9am.
I remember thinking in episode 1: oh, it’s one of those doors that lead straight back in, the freedom is just a (literal) illusion.
When the penny dropped, I had to applaud the show’s writing. The freedom IS an illusion. But a metaphorical one, because the outie can always send you back in.
crazzzy i didnt catch this first watch.
Wait I hadn't realised, so this is Helena Eagan the heiress and not Helly R. the employee that's talking to Milchick each time in this scene
True. When she's outside of the door (or up the elevator), she's the heiress. So here, talking to Milchik, she's the heiress.
@@laeditor it's funny I hadn't realised we had seen her outie in the flesh already before we see her on the tape where she told Helly that an innie is not a person. I guess it didn't strike me because Helena just seemed as confused as Helly and it doesn't show yet how little she cares about her innie's fate
@@leila7254 yeah exactly. That's why I included the shots of Helena getting the implant...because from her perspective, she goes from the operating room straight to the stairwell, which confused her.
@@leila7254 there is also a very brief early scene where outie Mark is leaving the parking lot and stops short of hitting outie Helly with his car (she tells him to watch where he's going)
How the hell do you idiots watch this show and not realize this.
Interesting that he calls her Helly when she comes out the first time.
Dope
Anybody remember what ep the stairwell scenes came from?
1 and 2
The amount of comments talking about how the finally put it together.
Like what? We are explicitly told this is a procedure that makes an inny and an outy.
I understood from the beginning that would mean the inny is a different conciousness forced to work for their entire existance with no knowledge of the outside world.
How did you guys not get that.
Were we watching the same show?
Damn, dude, you spelled both "Innie" and "Outie" incorrectly.
OK, I have no clue what this show is about but now I have to watch it.
Do! It’s got potential to be one of the best
perfect timing to watch it, second season is coming out
Here I was thinking the innie was being nice to the guy when she’s saying “I’m trying to leave”. It was her outie during this scene.
Exactly!
mind blow
Omggggg nooowwww I get it 😂
What if she just walked halfway through?
ok the elevator clearly isn’t needed to house the severance equipment though
To me it's like those invisible fences for pets or those shopping carts that have a smart wheel on them. Once the severance chip senses that it has crossed some sort of invisible border, the chip switches between their inner or outer consciousness depending upon their location. Similarly, an invisible pet fence delivers a negative reinforcement (shock) to a dog's collar when it travels past the buried wire at the border of the yard. The severance chip can be overridden by the OverTime Contingency protocol however, probably by forcing the chip to switch to the innie consciousness. Which makes me wonder if there is a possibility to force a switch to an outie consciousness when they on the severed floor.
She does it thrice cuz she had to say thrice to leave😮😮
"i dont want to be in here do i" met with immediate emotional manipulation to reinforce the expected outcome. absolute hell, but also how the current working culture is for most humans on earth.
Innie and outie.
She should 100% have seen Milchick in the stairwell!!!
He was hiding to the side
She is the ceo. On the outside she is running the entire OP
No she isn't lol. She's just an Eagan. Her grandfather is the CEO.
OMG I DIDNT REALIZE
