Late inSeveranceSeason 2 Episode 6, Attila, we see someone going through Irving’s box of things in his home, most importantly the list of names of Lumon employees. However, we don’t get a direct look at the person’s face. So who was looking through Irving’s thing in theSeveranceAttila episode?
Who was looking through Irving’s things
The person looking through Irving’s things inSeveranceSeason 2 Episode 6, titled Atilla, was Mr. Drummond. If you forget who that is, Mr. Drummond has the position of Global Management at Lumon Industries. He was introduced earlier in Season 2, and is the Lumon employee we’ve seen speaking with Helena quite often, and who also did Milchick’s performance review alongside Natalie.
Even though it only showed the character’s eyes as he looked through Irving’s things, there’s actually a bigger hint that gives away that it is in fact Mr. Drummond doing the deed.
How do we know it’s Mr. Drummond?
As Mr. Drummond is looking through Irving’s things, look at this hand, more specifically the tattoo on his hand.The tattoo is simply the word Frolic.It’s in the same exact position we’ve seen earlier in the season that Mr. Drummond has the same exact tattoo. While it’s not impossible that it could be another Lumon employee with the same tattoo—after all,Frolic is important to the Severance story, being one of Kier Eagan’s four tempers—it is in the exact spot we’ve seen on Mr. Drummond and the close up angle of his face certainly looked like it could be him anyway.
Now that we know it was Mr. Drummond going through Irving’s things inSeveranceSeason 2 Episode 6, let’s ask the more important question: how did he know Irving would be gone? It’s possible that Lumon has simply been watching his house for the opportune moment but after the ending of the episode, I think it’s more likely that Burt, played by Christopher Walken, might actually still be more involved with Lumon than we’ve been led to believe.
