Inside the utterly bonkers Reddit Severance theory claiming Devon’s baby might be a goat

I feel like a show as wild and twist filled as Severance actually has no limits with what might happen, and when a show is like that you can rest assured Reddit will be absolutely wilding with theories. Over there in that lawless digital land, nothing is sacred – and no theory too wild. One of the best I’ve seen recently is the (admittedly, lowkey humorous) theory that Mark’s sister Devon is not pregnant with a human baby courtesy of Ricken but actually a Lumon goat. What the hell, sure. Here’s a deep dive into the most insane Severance theory yet in which Reddit fans of the show chat about the possibility that Devon is actually having a baby that is a goat.

You know what… Hell yeah

Cards on the table – they’re taking the piss here, I think. But the piss taking is so good and the show so utterly crazy and mysterious that I’ve gone full circle and become a believer. Please read this beautiful Reddit theory, fully realised.

“So my theory: The goats are the real authors behind ‘The You You Are’. The MDR department is unknowingly helping the goats write it. The team reacts so strongly to the numbers because they’re actually refining the raw, encoded emotions of the goats into a semi-coherent self-help book.

“Ricken was hand-picked by Lumon to be their messenger. His quirky friend group are all Lumon plants working together in Lumon’s long game. Basically, to brainwash the masses through self-help books to reshape the public perception of severance and get people to buy into it voluntarily.

And to combine it with yours… if Devon’s baby is a goat, that would make Mark even more valuable to Lumon. Maybe this “human baby”/goat is Kier Eagan’s reincarnate.”
