devon is so fucking cool. the way she hugs mark. the way she listened to innie mark’s concerns and not only does she take them seriously!! she takes them MORE seriously than outie mark himself!!! she’s the one insisting that they should be sure everything is okay with gemma. she’s exhausted from her newborn going MISSING and then finding her and she’s still trying to help mark. she DOES NOT trust milkshake. she tries to reconnect with mark after he (understandably) snaps at her. devon is such a cool fucking human being and sister. i adore her.

The racism in the treatment Milchick receives from lumon has already been pointed out, but to add to that, I think the position they put him is very reminiscent of the glass cliff phenomenon.

I don't know how widely this theory is known, but basically researchers found that women were more likely to be appointed to leadership roles when companies were already doing bad, which put those women under a high amount of scrutiny in an environment that already wasn'tvery welcoming towards them; then other researchers looked into racial minority groups and found the same effect.

Milchick is put in charge of a rebellious team in a time of high stakes crisis, given absolutely zero resources (he has to organize the whole 5-months-have-passed stunt by himself!), and then he's blamed for every attempted solution that didn't yield the frankly unattainable result of fixing everything.

He's being scolded for even the smallest failures but you can be sure he'll never be celebrated for any amount of future success

Obsessed with what they're doing with Milchick this season. He's a guy with a job. An evil job. He just got a big promotion. He sees himself as a reformer. But not like, systematically, he just like, smiles a lot and plans little activities. He's being undermined by a teenage intern. He's gracious about The Board's racism. He carries elaborate fruit baskets on his motorcycle while working through the weekend. He averages firing more than one person per week. He dresses great. He almost got the CEO's daughter killed. He delivers even the most outrageous lies with panache. He doesn't have a single true ally. But! he is going to do whatever he has to do!

innie mark is gonna have to watch himself watch petey die and do nothing about it because he doesn’t know him. outie mark is gonna have to watch himself talk to his wife for hours and do nothing about it because he doesn’t know her. mark is gonna feel the love for his wife and the love for helly at the same time. two different people inhabiting one brain. i’m so sick

Imagine waking up for the very first time and you're in hell. And you spend every minute you can trying to find ways to escape and you finally do manage to get out into the real world and you discover that you're actually the devil. CEO of hell. And you've got like 5 minutes before you get sent back so you do everything you can to destroy your CEO self's power before they get you and you succeed but then they do get you and knock you out. And the next time you wake up your gay elderly coworker is waterboarding you. Happened to my good friend Helly R

there's something about helena using milchick's first name and irving IMMEDIATELY weaponizing that shit against him. in an environment where personal information is so tightly controlled that innies don't know their own last name, wouldn't knowing your manager's full name feel like having a gun to their head? and irving pulls the trigger the second he knows he has a bullet. i love you gay old man
