In episode 7 of the second season of the series, the show’s writers reveal more about the character of Miss Casey, Severance’s disturbingly calm wellness director at Lumon, and her origins as Gemma, Mark’s (Adam Scott) wife in the outside world.
It is revealed that Lumon used faked her death and that the company is experimenting on her in its basement, subjecting her to disturbing tests designed to send her ‘innie’ into different traumatic situations and monitor how her ‘outie’ reacts, which allows Lumon to perfect the severance procedure.
