In a recently released advertisement for Season 2, viewers catch a fleeting glimpse of an unidentified character seated at a desk with their back turned. While their face remains obscured, the character seems to be situated within Lumon’s building, as indicated by a small portrait of Kier Eagan visible on the wall.

Initial speculation rules out familiar faces such as Mark, Helly R, Dylan, and Irving, as well as Mr. Milchick. Furthermore, based on promotional material, it doesn’t appear to be Gwendoline Christie’s newly introduced character, nor any of Mark’s new colleagues.

Fans are left pondering several possibilities. One theory suggests, “It looks like the back of Jame Eagan’s head,” while another fan proposes it could be his boardroom. Recall that in Season 1, it was revealed that Helly R is actually the daughter of Jame Eagan, the CEO of Lumon. The hairstyle of the unseen individual aligns closely with the Eagan family traits, hinting that this could be a vital plot point involving interactions with Milchick and Ms. Cobel.

Alternatively, some fans speculate that the mysterious figure could be Ms. Cobel. Comments such as “Oddly enough, I feel like this is Cobel,” and “The shoulders seem a bit too narrow to be male,” indicate a belief that Cobel’s story isn’t finished yet and she remains an active part of the plot.

Compelling theories also suggest that Cobel may face consequences for her actions from the Season 1 finale, potentially leading to a storyline where she exists as a permanent “innie.” This could make for an intriguing twist if the show revisited the closing moments of the last season with a callback to her character.

Another tantalizing possibility involves a flashback to Ms. Cobel’s mother, Charlotte. Although little is known about Charlotte, hints point to her being severed and connected to the Eagans. One fan posited, “What if it’s Charlotte Cobel? We assumed she’s dead but what if she’s just out of reach?” Further musings include the intriguing notion that her appearance might be linked to a narrative featuring her hair needing to be cut for healing—a fascinating angle that adds layers to the storyline.

As the countdown to Season 2 progresses, fans can prepare by catching up on the events of Season 1 and reflecting on the fate of Mark’s wife. Additionally, Apple TV+ is offering free access this weekend, providing an excellent opportunity to binge-watch this captivating series.
