Reintegration - SPOILERS.

Pretty new to this sub, but haven't really seen this discussed by people.

The Dr. that kills the security guy in season 1 says something like "reintegration didn't kill Petey, if he followed procedure he'd still be alive". She says it like it's a certainty.

So.. who else has been reintegrated?

BURT.

I think it's obvious that him and Irvin's outie have been talking on the outside, especially with how cool he played his termination with Milkshake.

On the inside, Burt seemed to be the factor in him and Irving getting closer. Especially when he was having his retirement party, he kept his cool and played that situation perfectly.

Obviously, I don't think Burt and innie Irving had enough time to really discuss what happened, but after outie Irving came back they clearly were VERY quick to figure out how to play it - which leads me to say they obviously have had some kind of connection.

The biggest clue to me is Burt watching outie Irving make the call. They have a connection in both worlds, and I think Burt being reintegrated is the what makes the connection possible.
