This episode alone was pretty lackluster. However, when you pair it with knowledge gained from viewing the show, it explains and opens up a lot. The biggest thing gained: we now know exactly why cobel is so invested in severance. She invented it, she isnt allowed to say it, and she knows theres a weakness to it (reintegration/rhegabi) but never got to explore it bc, kier or whatever. We also get a glimpse of a cobel redemption arc that puts milchick (think buying out Devon with visits) against cobel.
