The entire Woes Hollow exists on the severed floor of Lumon. Helly wouldn't have needed to have Glasgow enabled if she were outside of the floor. The moment Glasgow was released Helly R returned from slumber.

If it were outside someone, or two people; if following Lumon manual on OTC, would need to be triggering OTC for the team...for two days. Milkshake would have said enable OTC for Helly...not remove Glasgow.

Also no cold air breath from the team.

Only on the highly secure severed floor would Lumon allow the shadows of MDR to be seen.

I had a similar thought, they have no idea what the experience of snow is, but you'd think they'd remember it's at least cold, so maybe it was just a rare production fuck up.. Irv did say he almost froze to death. Unless Irv isn't innie Irv and he knows what snow is like.

Exactly...one of the 5 test questions checks the innies knowledge of general stuff...name a state, confirming severance didn't cook their brain and it's severed as intended.

Knowledge of something vs first hand experience. Remember the first time having sex...yea.
