The Drug In Severance Season 2 Episode 8 has a large link to Kier Eagan

Severance season 2 episode 8 takes Harmony Cobel on a trip to her youth city: Salt’s Neck, where everyone is addicted to a medicine with a large bond with Kier Eagan.

When Harmony arrives in Salt’s neck, it has an incredibly creepy atmosphere; It is icy, silent and people are lurking near, derelict houses and rusty cars while breathing in a mysterious material.

Later we see her old friend Hampton give a bottle something One of the customers in his cafe, and he sniffs some himself while he drives harmony to Sissy’s house. “You are higher than a bearded vulture,” she tells him, and Sissy burns him a “Huff Peddler.”

There is clearly a drug epidemic in the city, and the episode peels the truth back from one of the most famous stories of Kier in dismissal.

It seems that everyone in Salt’s neck is addicted to Diethyl ether – Also known as Sweet Vitriol, hence the title of episode 8 of Sever of season 2.

As the University of Bristol explains: “The first ether to be discovered was Diethylether, which was synthesized in 1540 by the German botanist Valerius Cordus by distilling a mixture of ethanol and sulfuric acid (then known as vitriol oil). He called his discovery ‘Sweet Oil of Vitriol’ (Oleum Dulce Vitriolic). “

Ether was previously used as a general aesthetics, and it became prominent as a recreational medicine in the 19th and 20th centuries; Even organized parties were known as Ether Folics (another big word in dismissal), of which guests would breathe large quantities.

According to legend, Kier Eagan worked at the Ethermolen of his father, and this is where he met his wife Imogenene (as depicted in the painting, the relationship of cracks and imogenic).

But the romance of Lumon around Ethermolen is particularly worrying after episode 8, since Lumon began as a pharmaceutical company and Harmony and Hampton were effectively used as child labor to meet his needs.

As a result, Ether addiction starts at a young age in the neck of Salt; When Harmony needs something, she says she hasn’t done it anymore since she was eight years old.
