This article contains spoilers for The Breakup Season 2 Episode 1, "Hello, Mrs. Kobel."

Entering in breathtaking "Severance" Season 2, The first season of the series already showed that Lumon Industries is up to no good. The surreal, dystopian office environment and personal severance process that essentially traps "inny" workers there forever while their "friends" enjoy a hassle-free life is just the beginning. Everything from Mr. Milczyk's (Tramell Tillman) eerily comforting smile that doesn't reach his eyes to the stick-and-carrot treatment of cut-off employees, where the rewards range from the utterly irresistible to the horrifying absurdity of a waffle party, shows that it's happening much more than simple office work with high reliability.

The Season 2 premiere, titled "Hello, Mrs. Kobel," reveals that Lumon has many more horrors in store. With Milczyk now seemingly promoted to Mrs. Kobel's (Patricia Arquette) old position of managing the cut floor, Mark S. (Adam Scott), Haley R. (Brit Lauer), Dylan G. (Zach Cherry) and Irving B. John Turturro) make an unsolicited return to the Relationships office. – and discover that their new supervisor, Miss Huang (Sarah Bock), seems too young to be working on a top-secret project.

While Bok herself was born in 2006, Huang is clearly meant to be much younger. Passing by the uniform-coded character's school clothes and Mark immediately noticing that she is a child, it appears that Lumon is now engaged in child labor.

The revelation that the new authority figure on the cut-off floor is an eerily calm kid leaves every cut-off employee suitably freaked out, and it doesn't help that Miss Huang - just like Mr. Milczyk - doesn't appear to be cut-off herself. During the opening ball game, she reveals that it's her first day on the job and that her previous gig was as a security guard. This seems to imply that Lumon recruited her directly from a school setting.

So what's an uncut kid doing in a prestigious supervisor position in what, for all intents and purposes, appears to be Lumon's most important division? What's more, is she alone or are there other children who work for Lumon, as the episode also reveals that the company operates in over 200 locations? Presumably, "Severance" will answer these mysteries at some point, but for now this seems like something that would cause even more outcry than the severance process itself, if the public were to find out.

In "Severance" Season 1, we discover that Lumon Industries has aspirations to bring the titular process to a wide, potentially global scale, for reasons that are unclear. The revelation in "Hello, Mrs. Kobel" that the company isn't just targeting the public, but is actually asking a kid to oversee its key project, seems to set up a gruesome revelation later. Combine this with everything else to remember about "severance pay" and Lumon before fully diving into Season 2, and it looks like the ride the show has is going to be crazier than ever.
