Severance has never been a show to provide easy answers, and Season 2 continues to prove that every revelation comes with new layers of mystery. Episode 4, "Woe’s Hollow," delivers a major clarification about Helly’s identity—or rather, identities. It turns out that during the eerie company retreat in the woods, it’s Helena Eagan, not severed Helly R, who is in control. This may go to answer a lingering question about whether Helena had been masquerading as Helly for the entirety of Season 2 of Severance. However, the episode’s final moments reveal that severed Helly R is still present, leaving the question as to whether Helena was in charge the entire time or whether she made an appearance for this hike out into the snowy, creepy woods.
