This is a fun little mystery to unpack — I think you might be mixing up names, because there isn't a prominent character credited as Devon in the Apple TV+ series '
severance' that most people talk about. That said,
i'm happy to walk through what the finale of 'Severance' leaves you with, especially around the big emotional choices and fates of the office crew, because the show’s ending is more about decisions and consequences than tidy resolutions. The finale pulls together the threads about identity, sacrifice, and what people are willing to do for each other once they realize how warped the system is. The outward-facing, severed versions of people confront the morality of the Lumon experiment while the outies wrestle with guilt, secrecy, and how far they’ll go to protect or expose what happened inside. It’s bittersweet: some characters find a kind of freedom, some pay a heavy price, and others make deliberately ambiguous choices so the story can breathe beyond that final episode.
If you meant a different character — maybe Dylan, Irving, Mark, or Helly — each of them gets a pretty distinct emotional payoff in the finale. Helly’s arc is about agency and rage turned into purpose; she keeps pushing for the truth and refuses to be a passive victim. Mark’s journey centers on memory and responsibility — he’s haunted by what his outie did, and the finale forces him to reckon with how complicit he’s been and whether repair is even possible. Irving’s scenes become quietly tragic and courageous, showing what loyalty and conscience look like when a workplace literally splits your soul. Dylan’s path is tragic and human, and his choices underscore the human cost of the experiment in a way that lingers. The show chooses more thematic closure than clean, heroic endings — it leans into the idea that liberation and accountability are complicated and ongoing.
Personally, I loved that the finale didn’t try to tie everything up like a neat bow. Instead, it left me thinking about the characters for days: what they
sacrificed, who got a shot at redemption, and who had to live with the weight of their choices. That open-endedness is frustrating if you want answers, but it feels truer to the world the series built — messy, ethical, and painfully human. If you were thinking of someone else named Devon from another movie or series, tell me which one in your head and I’ll happily dig into that ending too — either way, I walked away from 'Severance' feeling haunted and oddly hopeful, which is a pretty great combination for a show.
