Hello, Ms. Cobel

"Hello, Ms. Cobel" is the first episode of the second season of the American science fiction psychological thriller television series Severance. It is the 10th overall episode of the series and was written by series creator Dan Erickson, and directed by executive producer Ben Stiller. It was released on Apple TV+ on January 16, 2025.

The series follows employees of Lumon Industries, a biotechnology corporation that uses a medical procedure called "severance" to separate the memories of their employees: at work, Lumon employees, called "innies", can't remember anything outside of work. Outside work, Lumon employees, called "outies", can't remember anything about work. As a result, innies and outies experience two different lives, with distinct personalities and agendas. In the episode, the MDR team return to the office after enacting the overtime contingency, with Lumon initiating responses to their behavior.

The episode is the first of the series to take place entirely on the severed floor, and only features the Innies. It received critical acclaim, with critics praising the production and world-building. It was recognised at the 77th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards for Outstanding Cinematography for a Series (One Hour).
