Severance stars Britt Lower and Dichen Lachman have delved into the intense final scene of the hit AppleTV+ series’ season 2 finale. Mark’s (Adam Scott) relentless quest to find Gemma (Lachman) reaches its climax at the end of Severance season 2, as he rescues her from the Cold Harbor room and brings her back to the severed floor. But just as freedom for the estranged couple seems within reach, Innie Mark makes a heartbreaking choice. As Gemma escapes via the stairwell, he stays behind with Helly (Lower) and abandons his Outtie’s wife to an uncertain fate.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Lower and Lachman dissect their characters’ reactions to Mark’s choice to remain on the severed floor. Read what they had to say below:
Lower: Helly R. seeing Gemma, Britt seeing Dichen’s performance on the other side of the door, was really affecting. That last moment where she’s seeing this heartbreaking thing happening across the hallway, my eyes were just drawn to Dichen. That was just something that happened on the day. I remember just being like, ‘I can’t take my eyes off her, even if I’m being pulled away.’
There’s a connection there. There’s this moment where I think Helly R. is seeing an outie, having empathy for an outie, maybe for the first time, and seeing this other woman who loves the outie version of the same person that she loves on the inside. That has an effect, even as they’re running away like wild horses. That lingering image, that heartbreaking image stays with her as they’re both, like, ‘What are we doing? What’s next?’ And yet she’s free.”
Lachman: On my side, there was a lot of technical things happening on that day because Ms. Casey is transitioning. By the time we got to the other side of the door, what was happening inside me with the frustration and stuff, it really helped my physicality to get into that emotional space.
Ben was so gracious. And Adam and Britt being there for me and giving me the time to get to this place where — I mean, they had to put a pad on the back of the door because I was hurting my hand from slamming it against the door. It was cathartic in a way too.
