===== Irving’s tenure =====

In [[Half Loop]], as Irving introduces himself to everyone, he mentions that he has “worked here for three years.”((Season 1, Episode 2, [[Half Loop]] ([[half_loop_transcript#section001347953|13:47]]) )) It is understood that “here” refers to Macrodata Refinement, which leads us to ask, “Does Irving believe he has //only// worked at Lumon for three years?” According to a [[https://www.linkedin.com/posts/lumon-industries_ad-activity-6900481932296114177-8rlD|LinkedIn post]] by Lumon Industries, Irving joined Lumon nine years ago.

Is it possible that Irving’s Innie only remembers being a Lumon employee for three years and has no recollection of the remaining six? If so, could it be that his memories were reset, likely on the [[Testing Floor]]?

===== Spelling Reghabi’s name =====

[[Reghabi]]’s name is spelled one way (Reg**habi**) in the show’s closed captions, but another way (Reg**abhi**) in the IMDb credits. Which one is correct?

**Update:** In a recent inquiry via his sister Hayley, Dan Erickson confirmed  that Reghabi is the correct spelling.(([[https://imgur.com/gallery/DKrWDLc|Imgur]] (September 11, 2022) ))

  * Is [[Gemma]]’s surname Scout?
  * Is [[Eleanor]]’s surname Scout-Hale?
  * Is [[imogene_eagan|Imogene]]’s surname Eagan?
