In Episode 6 of 'Severance,' a dinner party reveals deep issues regarding the identities of Innies and Outies in a world where workers undergo severance. Fields argues that Innies deserve love and rights, reflecting broader conversations on the implications of their severed existence. Organized religions are taking stances, with Fields citing the Lutheran Church's belief that Innies possess souls and can face judgment independently of their Outies. This raises complex questions about personal identity, societal norms, and legal rights as anti-severance sentiments grow.
"I believe Innies deserve to experience love," he says. Fields, after all, is sharing his table with a man, Irving, who had an 'erotic entanglement' with his husband, Burt.
In the world of 'Severance,' people have been arguing over whether Innies and Outies are separate people since the technology was implemented 12 years ago.
The Lutheran Church maintains 'Innies are complete individuals, with souls, who can be judged separately from their Outie.' That's why Burt became a severed worker.
The belief that Innies deserve their own rights is reflected in the pushback against Lumon Industries' expanding severance program and the backing of anti-severance legislation.
