Severance season 2's episode 8 primarily revolves around Harmony Cobel, revealing some dark truths about her Lumon history and potential future story.

Severance Season 2 Episode 8, ‘Sweet Vitriol’, is the worst-rated episode of the Apple TV series – but I disagree with the hate.

After a revelatory episode 7, Severance Season 2 takes a frigid turn in episode 8, "Sweet Vitriol." The episode focuses solely on Harmony Cobel's (Patricia Arquette) icy homecoming to the town of Salt's Neck. Once home to a Lumon ether factory, the town has since deteriorated after the company drained it dry.

This week’s episode features a major revelation in a chapter focused on Harmony Cobel’s history in Salt’s Neck.

With season 2 of Severance nearing its end, discoveries are being made on this week’s episode ominously titled “Sweet Vitriol.” If you missed last week’s episode, an old romance intersected with a present deadly threat, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

From MDR's ORTBO to Irving and Burt's dinner party to Gemma's Lumon escape attempt, much has gone down in the world of Severance since Harmony Cobel was seen speeding away from Helena Eagan and her bodyguard in the third episode of Season 2.

The same can likely be said for Apple TV+'s short teaser for Season 2, episode 9, which shows a person cutting a boiled egg on a plate. Here's a reminder of the clip: Seems fairly innocuous, right? Maybe some parallels between the egg cutting and Lumon's severance procedure?

"Severance" season 2 is heating up going into this week's episode "The After Hours." As the penultimate episode of the season, it's got a lot riding on it. Especially after last week's episode dropped the biggest bombshell of the series so far.
