The only way to save Gemma is ________
It took me another rewatch to piece who is who but it struck me: Gemma is stuck on the Testing Floor and there is only one way to get her out.
Upon her escape Gemma has only one way to go - up. But between The Testing Floor and the outside is The Severed Floor. As soon as she hits The Severed Floor she becomes to obedient Ms Casey. Of course she cannot just go visit The Severed Floor whenever she wants - her interactions with Mark need to be heavily controlled.
The only way we know an outtie can avoid their chip activating is the Glasgow Block.
It would be a lot to figure out in only 3 episodes but what if we’re headed for Integrated Mark understanding the conditions of Gemma being trapped and convincing iHelly and iDylan to pull something similar to their OTC trick to activate the Glasgow block to save Gemma. And if iDylan does commit to some sort of plan would he eventually botch it because he doesn’t want to lose his relationship with Gretchen?
