This article contains spoilers For “Severance” season 2 episode 9, “The After Hours”.

As The actor of “Seumer” Tramell Tillman said / film in his interview in 2022His character, Mr. Milchick, is not the kind of guy who shouts and shouts to people. “Outside, it looks like a duck on the water – very calm, calm – but inside, underwater, it happens so much,” said Tillman. “With that, it helps to create this suspense, this mystery, and keep everyone on their guard on the cut ground, which, I believe, is a 100%manipulation. It is a tactic.”

Despite his serene exterior, the Season 2 Trippy “Severance” was hard with Milchick. After Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette) was dismissed and the Innies of the Macrodata refinement team managed to briefly resume their exercise in season 1, he rushed to maintain the fort. His subordinates cut him and give him sorrow in each turn. His superiors give him impossible tasks on the limit, in particular by recovering the completely disillusioned members of the original MDR team and keeping their morale with an increasingly elaborate reward and punishment system. He contributes to the success of Cold Harbor, the most important project in the history of Lumon (and perhaps in the world?), But he receives no respect, and the company rewards his Herculean efforts to prevent the wheels from falling with Incredibly inappropriate pseudo-religious imagery and direct criticism of the way in the way.

In other words, it is increasingly clear that Mr. Milchick is not a happy camper. In “The After Hours”, the kettle is finally boiling. True to his form, the character barely raises his voice from the whole episode – but “The After Hours” nevertheless allows Milchick to have the collapse that has long been to come.

Seth Milchick does not return neither tables nor punch. When it stands out, it does it in its characteristic way. However, almost all the actions he enters into “The After Hours” is that of a man who has enough and who has time to inform the world.

Milchick said before he was not a fan of Miss Huang (Sarah Bock), but now he takes measures. He is strongly hinted that he interrupts his internship because he wants to get rid of her, and seems to have specifically pulled strings to send her to an installation of Lumon in Faraway Svalbard, an extremely isolated Arctic archipelago. As an icing on the top, he can barely hide his cheerfulness when he forces him to break his only precious possession, a launching game of a portable ring, as a “sacrifice”. Isolated, it may seem a simple office policy, but Milchick increases the bet when Mr. Drummond (ólafur Darri ólafsson) reproaches him for the absence of Mark (Adam Scott) of work. After a few internal dumplings, Milchick deliberately returns to the too floral language Lumon previously reprimanded him for having used, telling Drummond to “devour the congratulations” before translating it usefully by “eating S ***”. He then continues to close the lumon amazed higher in a calm but extremely hostile fashion before moving away without care in the world.

After having metaphorically devouring the starchness for so long, Milchick finally found its breakdown, joyfully burning the bridges while Cold Harbor’s completion approaches. At the moment, there is no way to know if it is about to break completely or if it is slowly free from Lumon’s Thrall as Cobel before him, but one thing is certain: viewers can expect great things of Seth Milchick in the final of the season.
