I thought the ending was excellent except one big flaw. Wouldn’t both of them just leave through the door, especially considering the fact they know they are doomed if they stay? They discussed it earlier in the episode and Helly gave a speech midway point through the episode about it. - ThreadSky

iMark saved Gemma, but now he's gotta save Helly. Their situation is desperate and bleak. If either of them leave the Severed floor, they're never coming back. They're dead. So they're both going to try and stay down there for as long as possible. They've got to bury themselves deep down in Lumon.

I think Season 3 is going to take place mostly in the Severed floor and mostly from iMark's perspective as they go deeper. They have to start a strike. If they convince the departments to have a sit-in, that'd be devastating to Lumon. That many people can't be disappeared.

It will buy them time, meanwhile Mark's going through accelerated reintegration. iMark's going to learn about Gemma. oMark's going to learn about Helly and severed life. They're both going to fall in love with them. It's going to get really messy and I can't wait.

1 I don’t think that was Helly, by her walk and posture. 2 Season 1 lovers tragically unaware of each other. S2 M saves G. S3, oh hell yes the damsel absolutely must save the prince. Also Irvin will not desert his friends. He’s had a secret agenda the whole time. And what’s up with doc AND Kobel?😉

Certainly S3 will see roles reversed in which Gemma's will be to save outie Mark, trapped on the severed floor. And yes, Irving's role will resume. It wasn't resolved with his investigations.
Very interesting point about if it was indeed Helly at the end. Helena has her own agenda too. I'll rewatch.

And in the birthing cabin, Ms Cobel said to Mark S, "I care for you" there's a whole lot to unpick there.

Regarding outie Mark, I expect Lumon will discredit Gemma's accusations by accusing Mark of the murder of Drummond

TRUE! The I care for you. Other notes.. What’s up with that whole egg scene? The kid on that gorgeous but weird plate? Is she prego?! How ironic after G and M’s difficulties. After an hour of swimming only a nibble of egg? and who did they take care of?
Also that look in Milchek’s office was Helena

Also, if they both leave it brings up a great love triangle of Helly wanting Mark and Mark wanting to be reunited with his wife.

But, alas—if they do that, you don’t get the evil bad guy tension & drama because Lumen is out of the picture!

In my opinion, that wasn't a flaw. It elevated the episode to beautiful brilliance. Running together, hand in hand, in anguished freedom, not knowing their fate was magnificent. The freeze frame zoom it closed on was genius.

S3 will see Daddy Eagan preserve Helly as she has 'the fire of Kier'
