I find it interesting you immediately wonder where they were for five months and didn’t consider the possibility they were left as unemployed outies for the duration of their absence. I guess the outies could have been held in an undisclosed location, or enjoying a celebrity status. But if they really were whistle blowers how were they convinced to return to Lumon when Mark asked for them? I thoroughly enjoy seeing this first run and wondering and questioning along side you. BTW, I picked up on the voice of the claymation Lumon in the video as voiced by Keanu Reeves. According to Google I was right. Guess I’ve seen The Matrix and Speed one too many times…

Yeah, go back and look at when Milchick told Mark. Mark did have a shocked reaction. Milchick kept pressing forward though with new info and Mark had to focus on that. Oh, when Milchick talked about his "old office" at the beginning, I'm pretty sure he was just talking about his office as deputy manager and now his new office is Cobel's old office. Not that it was an indication that they're moving the halls or anything. On that note, Mark was running off of the elevator to try to get to Wellness, which he doesn't go to that often, and not from the starting point of the elevator. That, also with him freaking out a bit, was probably why he was getting confused on the way there. I thought he was trying to get to MDR but when he got to Wellness, it made more sense. Since she said she was deputy manager, I assumed that Ms. Huang was Milchick's Milchick. Her succinct and vaguely accurate reasoning of why she's a child does not completely satisfy as to WHY IS THERE A CHILD DOING THIS JOB???
