Spoilers follow for Severance season 2, episode 1. Watch it first before reading on.

Severance season 2 kicks off with episode 1, Hello, Ms. Cobel, and there's so much to talk about. It's been three years since the surreal office drama's 2022 premiere on Apple TV+, but this episode picks up immediately after the previous season's dramatic climax.

In the first episode of the second season, however, Helly has a different story for her friends. Instead of telling them who she is on the outside, she tells them that when she woke up, she was in an apartment by herself.
