Severance's second season delivers a pair of complementary sex scenes.

Episode 4 sees Innie Mark ( Adam Scott ) have sex with Helly (Britt Lower) for the first time.

Two episodes later, Mark and Helly have sex in an unused office.

Each sex scene raises questions about the role of consent in Severance .

Season 2's sex scenes have highlighted issues about sexual consent within the series.

Mark , Helly, and Helena aren't the only Severance characters affected by the "Woe's Hollow " sex scene.

Does this lack of consciousness from one inhabitant of a severed body then render every sexual encounter a severed person has non-consensual?.

"Consent is a constant and has to be constantly renegotiated and updated," Meek said.

Lumon breaches that consent in multiple ways throughout Season 2 .

The Overtime Contingency is a further example of Lumon overstepping its bounds.
