A Spec Episode.

In Severance: “The Lemon Protocol”, a system malfunction exposes an abandoned sub-floor beneath Lumon, leading Mark and Helena into a decommissioned experiment where the company once harvested human emotion. As they descend through the forbidden Lemon Protocol Wing, Helena—unsevered for the first time—confronts the ghost of her mother and the origins of Lumon’s “refinement.” The episode bends memory and machinery into one continuous hallucination, where the act of “squeezing” emotions reveals not purification but control.
