S1E6: Hide and Seek

What Went Down

Episode 6’s nuts—Mark and Helly keep sneaking around, finding a secret baby goat room tied to O&D. Outside, Mark’s outie meets Petey, who’s alive and freaking out about Lumon. Inside, the team reads Ricken’s book, and Irving’s all about Burt, while Milchick catches them slacking.

My Rating

10 out of 10—twists everywhere, Petey’s back! It’s like Fall Out Boy’s “The Phoenix”—explosive, game-changing, and keeps you pumped the whole way.

Theories Out the Wazoo

• Petey’s alive—holy crap, I called it! He’s out there, freaking out—what if he’s got the real scoop on Lumon? Like, he broke his severance somehow and remembers everything—could be he’s the first one to escape, and that’s why Mark’s meeting him now—Petey’s gonna blow this wide open!
• Baby goat room—what the heck? I’m sticking with the goats being severed—maybe they’re growing them to test the tech, and that’s why they’re hidden away. Could be O&D’s raising these little guys to see if severance works on animals before humans—or maybe they’re backups for human innies!
• Mark and Helly sneaking—dude, they’re rebels now! What if Petey’s map is leading them to the truth? Like, the goat room’s just the start—could be there’s a whole underground thing at Lumon, and they’re about to stumble into the real deal—severance labs or something!
• Ricken’s book inside—okay, how’d it get there? I’m thinking Petey smuggled it in before he left—could be it’s got clues only innies can catch, and that’s why the team’s reading it. Maybe it’s waking them up, like a secret message to fight back!
• Irving and Burt—aww, but also creepy. What if Burt’s playing him? Like, O&D’s got its own agenda, and Burt’s luring Irving in to keep MDR in check—could be a double-agent thing, or maybe O&D’s severance is different, and Burt’s testing Irving’s loyalty!
• Milchick catching them—man, he’s scary. What if he’s not just a manager but, like, a severance enforcer? Could be he’s got tech to spot when innies step out of line—maybe that green MDR glow’s a tracker, and he’s always watching!
• Ms. Cobel outside—she’s gotta know Petey’s back. What if she let him escape to see what he’d do? Like, this is all a test—Petey, Mark, the book—to see if severance holds under pressure. She’s too calm for this to be a surprise!
