Hello experts

I have the following function

var x = msg.payload  
msg2.payload = x,  
msg2.topic="auth"  
msg1.notify="auth"  
return [msg1 , msg2];

I have 2 outputs, but I am getting an error for msg2  
"ReferenceError: msg2 is not defined (line 2, col 1)"  
I have followed the steps of lessons, but can not get it to work.  
What am I missing
