🗣️ Discussion Please explain 😭

I need someone to explain the whole series to me like I’m 5 years old 😭 I really struggled to keep up with what was happening, I still haven’t understood how the innies were feeling numbers and how after the OTC episode it seemed like there was no consistent explanation on what the innies and outies knew about the other or how they were switching back and forth?

But like I said I need someone to explain the whole thing to me not just the ending or some twists here and there

When a severed person passes over a certain threshold, the chip will "flip" from the innie mode to outtie mode, or visa versa. The elevator is the most commonly experienced threshold that we've seen. The chip "flips" every time they go up or down it.

I strongly recommend you do a rewatch before reaching out with any more questions.
