Last week’s episode of Severance took viewers to Salt’s Neck where Cobel (Patricia Arquette) reluctantly faced her past and made a jaw-dropping reveal: She helped invent the severance procedure! *GASP*

So what does this week have in store? Per Apple TV+, the synopsis for Severance Season 2, Episode 9, “The After Hours,” is as follows: “Outie Mark and Devon team with an unexpected ally to enact a plan. Innie Helly investigates Mark’s absence while Dylan receives hard news.”

Season 2, Episode 8 ended with Cobel speeding back to Kier while catching up with Mark over the phone, so she’s likely the “unexpected ally” who’s hatching a plan with him and Devon. As for what the trio does next, or what Helly and Dylan are up to down on the Severed Floor, you’ll have to tune in to find out. However, we highly recommend checking out our Season 2, Episode 6 recap to reacquaint yourself with Mark, Helly, Irving, and Dylan’s last episode.

Praise Kier, Decider is here!

Here’s everything to know about watching new episodes of Severance as soon as they drop on Apple TV.

Since Severance Season 2 premiered on Friday, January 17, new episodes have debuted weekly on Fridays until the March 21 finale. But as you likely know by now, there’s a twist…

According to Apple TV+, Severance Season 2, Episode 9, is set to premiere Friday, March 14. However, longtime fans of the streamer know that new Apple TV+ episodes regularly drop the night before their designated premiere dates, which means if you’re extra eager to watch Severance Season 2, Episode 9 as soon as it’s available to stream, keep an eye out on Thursday, March 13.

Based on every episode of Severance Season 2 (and Apple’s regular release schedule), we can confidently say that Severance Season 2, Episode 9 will be available to stream on Apple TV+ starting on Thursday, March 13 at 9:00 p.m. ET.

If you’re a fan of The Twilight Zone, you may recognize “The After Hours” as the title of Season 1, Episode 34 of The Twilight Zone, which aired back in 1960. Per the episode description, “The After Hours” follows a character named Marsha White who takes a department store elevator to the ninth floor where she buys a gold thimble as a gift for her mother. She takes the elevator back down, notices the thimble is scratched, and complains to a store manager, only to be told there is no ninth floor in the store. On top of that, she realizes everyone around her is a mannequin — herself included. In the world of “The After Hours,” one mannequin becomes human for a month, then returns and trades places with another mannequin, and it’s Marsha’s turn to return to mannequin life. Interesting… Taking elevator to a mysterious floor? Switching from one persona to another? Sounds familiar. Will The Twilight Zone episode come up again on Severance episode? Tune in to find out.

Though Severance Season 1 consisted of nine episodes, outies everywhere will be thrilled to know that Season 2 is working overtime with 10 episodes. That means the finale is next week…

Per Apple TV+, new episodes of Severance will be released weekly on Fridays until the finale on March 21. (But as we said, keep an eye out for early Thursday releases!) The sophomore season is almost over, but here’s a full Severance Season 2 episode guide with corresponding premiere dates if you need it.
