In the realm of *Severance*, every aspect is filled with meaning—be it tales about Dieter Eagan or items found in Harmony Cobel’s (Patricia Arquette) childhood residence. Every detail matters.

This notion appears to extend to the brief teaser for Season 2, Episode 9 on Apple TV+, showcasing an individual slicing a boiled egg on a plate.

At first look, the scene seems innocent—perhaps a subtle reference to Lumon’s severance process, indicated by the egg being sliced.

Yet, as [@zoeonfilm noted on X](https://x.com/zoeonfilm/status/1899520934416900418), the actual hint might be found in the plate itself.

“Two women, in red and blue, reaching for the same man,” they remarked. “Two incarnations of the same individual pursuing one man. I wonder where I’ve encountered this before…”

Once it catches your eye, it’s tough to overlook—the plate’s pattern illustrates two identical women grasping for the same man. Could this reference Mark S (Adam Scott) and his complicated dynamic with Helly (Britt Lower)? It certainly seems plausible.

But is this merely a clever Easter egg, or a foreshadowing of future events? *Severance* has already demonstrated that Helena Eagan, Helly’s Outie, is skilled in manipulation—she led Mark to sleep with her in Episode 4 and then “coincidentally” encountered his Outie at a diner in Episode 6. What was her actual goal? And what more could she have in store?
