Since I’ve seen the episode, I’ve been thinking about the story he told, and I don’t think it’s “canonical” like the handbook. I’m almost certain that it’s either:
- a Lumon “fairy tale”, either only for use in team building exercises like the ORTBO, or possibly also told outside (did Helena know it?)
- or a story made by Milchick specifically for our group, possibly AI generated (since “Dieter Eagan” is an anagram for “AI generated”)
It felt very much like a scavenger hunt for a child’s birthday or something similar, only in corporate form. Milchick thought that he could fulfill the groups desire for “adventure”, and thus make them focus on work once more.
What do you think?
Before ep5 came out, I legit thought that it was what Ricken wrote for the innies
Ha, that would have been great, but his writing style is very different. I recently listened to the audiobook of “The You You Are”, and his approach is very distinct. Also explains a bit more about the relationship him & Devon had with Mark & Gemma, definitely worth a listen!

I have to admit I didn’t come up with that myself, but saw it on the site that shall not be named.
Well, I saw on a YouTube video that in season 1 there was a sign advertising a band called “Dieter’s Brother”. This would make me believe that the brother is real or that the lore of him has made it outside of Lumen/the ORTBO
Oh damn, I didn’t know that! That certainly makes it seem like he’s either a real person, or it’s a well-known story.
