Apple TV+'s Severance episode 7 ends on a bombshell reveal that has spawned several theories regarding where the show goes next. First released on February 18th, 2022, Severance has garnered immediate universal acclaim thanks to the decidedly dystopian themes it tackles.

James) visits a drunken Mark (Adam Scott), he rips up a photo of his late wife Gemma in an effort to impress Alexa, who instead leaves in disgust. As Mark sobers up, he tearfully tapes Gemma's photo back together — with Severance subsequently revealing Gemma to be none other than Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman) from Lumon's wellness department.
