Breaking Down ‘Severance’ Episode 7 With Superfan Damon Lindelof

Jo and Rob go from door to door to recap the seventh episode of Severance Season 2. They run through a handful of listener questions before discussing their interpretations of the lore-heavy episode, the grim nature of the testing floor, and whether or not Gemma decided to get severed (4:12). Along the way, they highlight what makes this the strongest episode of the show to date and Jessica Lee Gagné’s dazzling directorial debut (34:55). Later, Joanna is joined by Lost cocreator and showrunner Damon Lindelof to talk about why he loves Severance, his Season 2 theories, the challenge of mystery box shows, and much more (01:15:27).
