    Severance fans convinced they’ve spotted huge clue that proves major theory about the goats

    Severance fans are convinced that one character isn’t who they seem – but it’s not Helly14:54, 21 Mar 2025Severance season 3 trailer on Apple TVWarning – this article contains major spoilers for the Severance season 2 finaleSeverance enthusiasts are still adamant that a pivotal character isn’t all they appear to be – and it’s not Helly/Helena Eagan (portrayed by Britt Lower).Article continues belowThe second series reached a nail-biting climax this Friday (21st March), tracking Mark Scout (Adam Scott) as he joined forces with his ‘innie’ to save his wife Gemma (Dichen Lachman).After a chilling goat sacrifice, a fierce brawl with Mr Drummond (Darri Ólafsson), and some shocking revelations about the implications of Cold Harbor, Mark and Gemma finally escaped the testing floor.However, in a critical twist, Mark’s innie chose to remain at the Lumon Industries office, leaving his outie’s wife to fend for herself, reports Surrey Live.A growing number of fans are now suspecting that Helly’s outie was actually masquerading as her innie once more to entice Mark back into the office – but an even more jaw-dropping surprise could be on the horizon for season three.An increasing fanbase is convinced that Mark’s brother-in-law Ricken (Michael Chernus) is actually the outie of one of the many goats being nurtured by Lorne (Gwendoline Christie) and her team in the Mammalians Nurturable department.Does Ricken really have the brain of a goat?One sharp-eyed fan recently assembled a list of hints backing this theory – regrettably, this wasn’t confirmed in the second season finale, but could this enigma be unravelled in season three?The most recent episode of the smash-hit series has left fans abuzz with an array of theories, particularly in the wake of a scene showcasing his remarkable goat-like agility as they scale a cliff.Moreover, Ricken’s friends exhibit an assortment of odd behaviours, such as a peculiar smell noticed by Mark’s sister Devon (Jen Tullock), further fuelling the growing speculation.Ricken can also be seen donning a shaggy beard redolent of that sported by goats. Moreover, his tendency to occasionally emit bleat-like sounds during a book-reading session coupled with his frequent incoherent manner of speaking seems to indicate an unusual amalgamation of human and goat-like consciousness.Adding to the mystery is the mention that “His parents conceived him as part of a performance art piece so it’s not a stretch to think they might have let Lumon experiment with Ricken, his entire life has been one big performance piece.”Moreover: “Ricken’s phone alarm during the book reading is a cowbell, the same thing that was used in the Mammalians Nurturable room to get everyone’s attention.”A goat was sacrificed in the finale – but do they have another purpose?Furthermore, it was also observed that an array of “goat merch” was scattered all around Ricken’s house, which included, amongst other knick-knacks, “a goat head bust and an abstract goat painting”.The pressing question still plaguing fans is whether Ricken indeed exists as a creature in human guise or if all the signs hinting at this are, in reality, mere playful red herrings referencing the outlandish theory of the fans.Article continues belowViewers eager for clarification must patiently await the release of the third season to finally understand if these pointers will pave the way for a pivotal revelation.Severance is available to stream on Apple TV+.
