Mark’s outie was at a book-reading party for his brother-in-law, Ricken (Michael Chernus), at Ricken’s home. Though Mark’s outie was dismissive of Ricken’s latest volume, a self-help book called “The You You Are: A Spiritual Biography of You,” it had become a kind of bible at Lumon for the innies, for whom its positive affirmations provided solace amid their oppressive work environment.
Shortly after the party began, Innie Mark’s consciousness took over. He met a woman he learned was his sister, Devon (Jen Tullock), as well as Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette), Mark’s boss at Lumon (she had recently been fired, but Mark didn’t know that yet). Harmony clearly knew his outie, but how?
As Mark tried to figure it out, he accidentally called her by her Lumon name rather than the one his outie knew her by, Mrs. Selvig. (She is, in fact, Outie Mark’s neighbor.) Harmony realized that Mark was his innie and tipped off Seth Milchick (Tramell Tillman), the supervisor of the severed floor back at Lumon, who sprinted to the security office to confront Dylan.
But she was too late: Innie Mark was in Outie Mark’s world long enough to make a startling discovery. He had been told that his outie’s wife died in a car accident. But then he saw a wedding photograph of himself and a woman he knew to be the innie Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman), the wellness counselor on the severed floor at Lumon.
“She’s alive!” Innie Mark yelled, holding up the photo and making a beeline for his sister — just before Milchick finally forced his way into the security office and tackled Dylan, who released the switches, turning off Mark’s innie consciousness.
Unlucky in love
Irving found himself alone in an apartment, surrounded by identical paintings of a dark corridor with a glowing row of overhead lights that, he surmised, must have been made by his outie. A collection of military medals hung in the bedroom.
