After a newspaper article appears with the headline “‘INNIES’ BLOW THE WHISTLE,” Dylan (Cherry) asks his colleagues Mark, Helly (Lower) and Irving (Turturro), “Okay, so we’re not in trouble?”

“I don’t think so,” said Mark. “Milchick said we were famous.”

The Innies then meet in a discreet, dimly lit location to discuss what they saw when Dylan managed to wake up Mark, Helly and Irving’s Innies in the real world. Then Mark reveals, “My Outie’s wife died a few years ago. Except the wife is Mrs. Casey.”

“So what are you going to do?” Helly asks before Mark replies, “I’ve got to get her out of here.”

As the gang prepares to uncover the truth, the trailer then shows Mark spying on one of his bosses, Mrs. Cobel (Arquette), in her home. Mrs. Cobel tries to drive away, but Mark pulls up in front of her car to stop her.

“Why did you do that? What is it about?” Mark yells, pressing up against Harmony’s car, before asking a question about his “late” wife Gemma, aka Mrs. Casey. “Do you know anything about Gemma?”

But Mrs. Cobel teases her: “Mark, the honeymoon won’t end for you.” Still, as Helly notes, the Innies “fear no one” as scenes are shown of the group racing around to discover the truth.

“If we let this happen to Mrs. Casey,” Mark tells a group of Lumon workers, “who’s going to step in when it happens to us?”

Milchick warns that he’s “tightening the leash” and as the trailer ends, the supervisor eerily says “goodbye” to Mark before closing the elevator door behind him.
