WELCOME BACK TO THE BARDO, REFINER!
It's one of the most unusual episodes of 'Severance' so far. And we're about to finish digging into every nook and cranny!! Welcome back to the 'Severed' Deep Dive into 'Chikhai Bardo.'

This time we're going to get into some of those ROOMS. What the heck has Mark S. been working on? Oh, a room that's nothing but air turbulence. There's another one that's nothing but 'thank you card' writing. Huh? It seems Dan Erickson was using the Testing Floor to work out some personal demons. We avoided the Flossing Room!

Grab a quick nap on Mark's sad Orange Couch then hit 'play' for the third and final chapter of "Chikhai Bardo."

WELCOME BACK, REFINER! It's time to re-open "Chikhai Bardo'!
Mark is still unconscious. Other than him being a slug on the sad couch, there is a LOT happening in this episode! We're flashing back...and then forward...then back again. This time out we're going to witness the blooming love affair between Mark Scout and the woman we onliy know as 'Gemma.' We get to MEET Gemma!

We're going to hang out on the testing floor. We'll have dinner with Devon and Ricken back before Ricken was so weird. 

We've got tons of set dec, some random trivia about Mt. Everest and...watchers!

What are you waiting for, Refiner?? Open the file called "Chikhai Bardo-PT02"!!

WELCOME BACK, REFINER...READY FOR MORE 'PROP-TALK'??
It's time for Part 2 of our epic discussion with 'Severance' prop master Catherine "Cat" Miller. Cat was kind enough to sit down with us for a LONG time to talk about all things 'Severance' props! There were some GREAT details. We heard our first hour last time. This time out we've got another full hour! Be listening for:

"This pen is too...clicky..." - Christopher Walken
John Turturro - Egg Whisperer.
The 30% smaller workstation...and a 30% LARGER workstation!

So if you're ready, it's time to open the file called "Cat Miller Interview - PART TWO."

ARE YOU READY, REFINER? IT DOESN'T GET MUCH COOLER THAN THIS...
The episode "Chikhai Bardo" blew a lot of people away when it premiered as the 7th episode of the second season. A brand new leader was in the Director's Chair but she was a familiar face to both cast and crew. This is Cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagne's first foray into directing. Based on the incredible success of this episode, she'll probably never be a cinematographer again. 

We're going back in time with a blushing Mark and Gemma. We'll see how they met and fell in love. We'll ALSO venture down to the 'Testing Floor' where a very alive Gemma is being subjected to bizarre tortures by Robby Benson and Sandra Bernhard. Mark is passed out on his couch and Reghabi and Devon are about to come to blows over his body.

It's a wild one, Refiner...and this is just PART ONE. Strap in and fire up that workstation. It's time to discover the wonder that is 'Chikhai Bardo.'

WELCOME BACK FOR PART TWO OF "ATILLA"!!
Comb your hair and put on your best shirt, Refiner! We're headed to dinner! Would you rather have a cozy little gathering at a friend's house, or maybe a meet up at a well-known local Chinese place? Either way, this week we've got you covered on 'Severed'!

Outie-Irv has accepted an invite for an evening of Ham and Wine at Outie-Burt's place. This will be the first time Irving has met Burt's significant other: Fields. It's also our first chance to meet the elusive Fields. He has some interesting information to impart, if he doesn't pass out first! We also get a chance to tour the incredible home of Burt and Fields. In reality, it's the Gerald Luss house in Ossinging, NY. We will get WAY into it!!

Over at "Zufu", a favorite joint in Kier for Chinese, outie-Mark Scout is trying to curb his reintegration appetitte. As he's feeding his face, Helena Eagan walks in. She has a seat at a booth...all alone. Helena may have had plans other than dinner when she followed Mark Scout into this place. She's quite the aggressive one!! Helena does her best to seduce a confused Mark Scout, but it doesn't work.

The meeting at the restaurant prompts Mark to take some serious action regarding his chip. Reghabit 'floods the chip' and Mark can't handle it. We leave him passed out in his livingroom with Devon and Reghabi trying to rouse him. It does not look good.

You're okay with Cumin, right?? Good. It's time to hit 'play' on Atilla Part TWO.
