The season finale saw Mark's 'inny' see the outside world
So what actually happened in the season finale? The episode saw Mark, Helly and Irving’s 'innys' - the part of them that only know their work lives - become conscious in their 'outies' real lives in order to warn people that something is going on at Lumon.

Mark meets his sister, and they discuss how Mark’s 'outie' went through the severance procedure following the loss of his wife, Gemma, while Helly attempts to tell Lumon investors the truth about the severance procedure, and Irving desperately tries to find his lover, Bert.
Mark manages to get a message to his sister
In the final moments of the episode, with time running out for the innys to be conscious outside of work, Mark sees a photograph of himself with Gemma, only to realise that she is the same woman as 'Ms Casey', who also works at Lumon. In the final moments of the episode, Mark just has time to reach his sister and shout: "She’s alive" before the episode ends.
Fortunately for fans, season two is already on the way, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store!
