Why is Severance's sign for Cold Harbor so important?

Half the fun of watching Compensation is to be found out Compensation. What exactly does Lumon do on the separated floor? Where do you go when you die? Why the hell are there goats? But the latest episode with the ominous title “Goodbye, Ms. Selvig” reveals that one of the characters we followed has a secret meaning that none of us ever noticed.

The protagonist of a series is typically the central force around which the entire action turns. So far we thought we were introduced to the world Compensation from Mark S (Adam Scott) Because his wife died, his Outie had problems and his Invaroos were secretly disillusioned by work after his best friend Petey (Yul Vazquez) had been removed from the Severed Floor without notice. We were wrong and we should have known that we were wrong.

As a result of this week, we immerse yourself in the Outie world shortly after the events Final of the first season. We see that Mark's team was actually fired and did not refuse to return Milkick (Tramell Tillman) had made Mark to believe in the premiere of the second season what Helena Eagan (Britt Lower) tried to suppress Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette) by offering her a meaningless consultant role, regardless of any direct participation in the Severed Floor, and Lumon goes into full damage control. Then, CompensationThe biggest secret of the film is revealed when Helena Drummond (ólafur Darri ólafsson), Mr. Milchick and Natalie (Sydney Cole Alexander) tells that “We Mark S need back to work long enough to complete Cold Harbor.”

At that moment we have to ask ourselves a question that we should have asked ourselves since the series premiere: “Why is Mark S so important?”

This is not only the first time that the expression “Cold Harbor” falls in the series, it is also the first time that Lumon treats every employee as indispensable. Later, we learn that In the Premiere of the Second Season, the BARK INMARK INMARK IN THE Return of his team prompted the board to give him exactly what he wanted. This is the same board of directors who does not respect enough to a single employee to show his face or speak directly to him, and who is now willing to be forced to change one of his decisions by an angry employee.

As soon as we discover Mark's apparent irreplacement, certain details of the show of overlooked material are transformed into hints. Cobel, who lived opposite Outie Mark and pushed himself into his life, probably only happened to make sure he stayed with the matter. Since Outie Mark is the only one on the Severed Floor who has someone near him – his wife Gemma (Dichen Lachman) – the work for Lumon seems to be a form of emotional manipulation, especially since he was her death and inability To shake, mentioned as reasons for his separation. He is the only one of the four Innies who violated the rules in the final of the first season and was not only not fired, but was also offered a salary increase of 20 percent for his return.

This also gives us an indication of what these people actually do professionally. At the end of the premiere sequence of last week we see that Mark 68 percent with a project called “Cold Harbor” is ready on which Gemma's face can be seen. If Lumon has no problem releasing and replacing his team at any time, you can certainly assume that what you are working on can be done by everyone. For some inexplicable reason, only Mark can end his project, which means that there is any connection between the workers and the numbers that sort them on the screen. We already know that the workers sort the numbers based on an indescribable emotional reaction to what is shown on the screens. Since Mark is the only one who can finish a project that seems to be connected to his supposedly deceased woman, this means that the project has an inseparable connection to Mark as a person.

What this connection is and how Mark became such an important figure for a company that has existed for over 150 years is still unknown. Now find out why Mark S is so important is the central puzzle that we all have to uncover, because it will probably reveal the entire confusion that exists Compensation.
