Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Severance season 2, episode 8!Severancestar Patricia Arquette has broken down Harmony’s big season 2, episode 8 decision, explaining the direction her story is now headed in.Severanceseason 2, episode 8focused on Harmony (Arquette) going to her hometown of Salt’s Neck in order to retrieve documents proving she is the original inventor of the Severance program. At the end of the episode, she answers a call from Devon (Jen Tullock) who informs her Mark (Adam Scott) is reintegrating. The former head of the Severed Floor decides to ally with them against Lumon.
Speaking withTV Insider,Arquette explained Harmony’s decision to align herself with Mark and Devon, discussing her “weak spot” for their situation, especially due to Gemma (Dichen Lachman). While part of it is also influenced by her remembering the loss of her mother, she’s also motivated by research and the “project” Mark could become now that he’s started the reintegration process. Check out what Arquette had to say below:
I think, despite her scientific mind and her commitment to this corporation, she does have a weak spot for Mark and Gemma and this kind of story. I think that there’s a subconscious shadow of it in her own self with her love of her mom and losing her mom. So she’s playing something out with Mark. But also I think as much as she is a devotee, to Kier, she also is always thinking she knows best. So she’s parlaying this kind of information to continue doing the research she wants to do, which is a project on Mark.
