Speaking with Variety, Dichen Lachman addressed the episode showing viewers just how much of a stronghold Lumon has on the local community, and shared her own self-admittedly unfounded theory about the company’s direct ties to Gemma and Mark. In her words:

People think Ms Casey from Severance might still be some kind of clone, rather than another Innie of Gemma’s. Whilst all the Severance Gemma theories mostly point to Ms Casey’s time in Wellness working with MDR being another Innie from the Gemma we’ve seen in the Lumon experiments floor, others question it.

Dichen Lachman, who plays Gemma/Ms. Casey on 'Severance,' unpacks this week's heartbreaking episode and explains Gemma's escape plan.

A free-form flashback episode fills in the gaps to what happened to Gemma (a.k.a. Ms. Casey)—and showcases a standout performance from Dichen Lachman.

And then there’s also like 25 rooms per person to test. So there’s 100 rooms. So the floor is massive, in theory….it just goes on forever,” said “Severance”

"Severance" Season 2, episode 7, "Chikhai Bardo," reveals what happened to Gemma and gives us more clues about what Lumon is up to.

The Mark and Gemma storyline in Apple's Severance is giving off major Orpheus and Eurydice vibes (and that doesn’t bode well for Gemma’s fate).

It’s possible you hit that last question and excitedly said “I don’t know!” If that’s the case, I wish you the very best. Mystery-box television, a shell game in which under every shell there are three more shells, is the storytelling format for you. Have fun theorizing, have fun guessing, have fun being confused.
