who have undergone a "severance" procedure to surgically divide their memories between their personal lives ("Outies") and their professional lives ("Innies"). Core Premise & World-Building The Procedure
The emotional core of the season, however, is Helly R. Her arc serves as the show's most potent argument against the procedure. While the other characters eventually find a rhythm to their captivity, Helly resists. She attempts self-harm, repeatedly trying to "quit" a job she cannot resign from because her Outie holds the legal rights to her body.
