Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterSPOLER ALERT: Do not read if you have not yet watched “What’s for Dinner?,” the April 1 episode of “Severance.”Heading into its Season 1 finale next week, Apple’s “Severance” has finally answered at least one very burning question for fans: What the heck is a Waffle Party? On Friday, viewers saw exactly what Lumon Industries’ severed workers get as part of that top-tier reward through the experience of MDR employee Dylan (Zach Cherry). Well, not all of it, because Dylan actually high-tails it out of the Waffle Party prematurely in order to flip the control room switch that will help his coworkers Mark (Adam Scott), Helly (Britt Lower) and Irving (John Turturro) in their plan to “wake up” as their Innie in the real world.

Not even Ben Stiller is immune from embarrassing himself in front of one of his heroes.
