"I'm Obsessed With Never Doing the Same Thing": 'Severance' Cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné on the Challenges of Directing "Chikhai Bardo"

Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for Severance Season 2 Episode 7.Apple TV+'s Severance has no shortage of twists and turns, but Season 2's latest episode just got one step closer to answering some of the show's biggest mysteries to date. While Mark (Adam Scott) lies comatose as a consequence of his decision to reintegrate his severed memories, he flashes back to various memories of the time when he first met his wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman), as well as their subsequent struggles with fertility. At the same time, we're finally made privy to exactly where Gemma has been inside Lumon all this while, being experimented on via several different rooms (and, apparently, several different severed personalities) by the creepy Dr. Mauer (Robby Benson), with her whereabouts monitored by an all-too-watchful nurse (Sandra Bernhard). While we may have more of a sense of what Cold Harbor is, we're still no closer to figuring out how Mark — or his innie — is going to be able to save Gemma from Lumon's clutches, especially when she only remembers being Ms. Casey after attempting to escape to the severed floor.
