InSeveranceseason 2, episode 2, Milchick was shown visiting the Outies of Irving, Dylan, and Mark.

This is a half-truth, in a way, as Cobel was briefly fired from Lumon duringSeveranceseason 1.

Cobel hid Helly Rs attempted suicide from Lumons board, resulting in her termination.

Milchick even goes as far as showing Mark a newspaper clipping that reveres the MDR workers as heroes.

As revealed inSeveranceseason 2, episode 2, all of this is another complex lie on Lumons part.

Lumon covered up the Innies' pleas and implemented the Severance Reforms as another means of control.

However, asSeveranceseason 2, episode 2 highlighted, Mark did not wish to return to Lumon.

The Overtime Contingency only bolstered his desire to quit Lumon that he had showcased inSeveranceseason 1s final few episodes.
