Severance
Warning!
Moments after Cobel arrives in the town, she notices people inhaling an unknown substance.
Much later, Hampton offers her the same drug, and she seems to know what it is.
The Apple TV+ show has previously established that Lumon’s factories manufactured ether.
All these subtle clues suggest that Cobel and Hampton were exposed to ether while working in a Lumon factory.
Cobel seemingly broke her habit of inhaling the drug after she left to work in Lumon.

Hampton, on the other hand, kept using the drug long after leaving the factory.
Historically,diethyl ether has been used as an anesthetic and can even cause short-term memory loss.
Right after Harmony enters Salt’s Neck, she notices several people getting high on the substance.
