‘Severance’ season 2, episode 4: What is the Glasgow block?

“Woe’s Hollow”, the fourth episode of Dismissal Season 2 is one of the most packed entries in the show so far. In the course of an hour, Dismissal It revealed that Helena Eagan (Britt Lower) had presented the entire season as her Innie. It also went with pension irbing (John Turturro) Innie and introduced a number of bizarre new Kier Eagan Lore. And that is just scratching the surface!

But in the middle of these most important plot points, Dismissal Nasty answered one of our Biggest questions From all the way back in season 1 – and it all starts with the mention of Mr. Milchick (Tramell Tillman) from something that is known as ‘The Glasgow Block’.

When Irving finds out that Helly is really her oation that presents herself like an innie, he tries to drown her to get Helly back. His plan works. Mr. Milchick calls someone back to Lumon and demands that they “remove the Glasgow block.”

Viewers with eagle eyes may remember that this is not the first time that the word “Glasgow” has arrived Dismissal. In season 1, episode 8, when Dylan (Zach Cherry) Prepared to launch the contingency of the overtime, he also saw a list of various other functions that can perform the drawn chips. Among them are Bijenkorf, Elephant, Vriesframe and Glasgow.

Fans were quickly theoretizing About what every severed function could be. For Glasgow they turned to the Glasgow coma scaleThose levels of consciousness measures after brain trauma. Given that Dismissal Is a show entirely about consciousness, the connection seemed a perfect fit. Can Lumon use the Glasgow function to send its carved employees in an instant in a coma?

After “Woe’s Hollow”, that theory does not sound too far away. It seems that the Glasgow function blocks an Innie -Persona to wake up completely, so that their oation has control at all times, even on the severed floor.

What could the Glasgow block mean for the rest of Dismissal Season 2?

The existence of the Glasgow Block is extra danger to the innies. It is another way in which Lumon could sniff their lives without warning, again emphasizes how little autonomy they have and how little Lumon appreciates them as real people.

But could there be a downside to the innies that learn about the Glasgow block? If they rebelled against Lumon again, could there be a way to turn the block and make it so that the innies are the only active consciousness? That may seem too much like the innies that cause overtime in season 1, but because the tensions between the innies and outies escalate, anything could be possible.

Another reason why the appearance of the Glasgow block is so important here is that the proof is that Dismissal Note the small breadcrumbs that it fell during his run, such as the function – menu in season 1. Those functions were not only random names – they intended behind them, and at least one was paid in an immensely satisfactory way. Who knows, maybe we will see the Bijenkorf or elephant function in action.

Dismissal Season 2 is now streaming on Apple TV+, with a new episode every Friday.
