Warning: spoilers for Silo Episode 205 – “Descent” – are in play. In case you haven’t caught the most recent chapter, you’ve been warned.
Effectively, readers, we’ve lastly reached the midway level of Silo’s second season run. There are nonetheless 5 episodes to hold us by the 2024 TV schedule and straight on into the 2025 calendar, and that is incredible. Nonetheless, this week’s developments have me fairly fearful with regards to Steve Zahn’s mysterious character Solo. Even worse, these not-so-joyful emotions come from the truth that this instability may pose a menace to Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson).
Solo’s Breakdown, And What Triggered It
Because it seems, Solo isn’t the true identify of the mysterious man in Silo 17. As we discovered in “Descent,” this week’s episode of Silo, the mysterious bearded man that poor Juliette is at present in worry of is known as Cole Myers. He additionally seems to be the I.T. shadow of this very location, as the previous sheriff of Silo 18 discovered by some eager sleuthing.
When confronted with the reality, “Solo” tells a cute little lie about the way it was an unintentional nickname. Nonetheless, when additional pressed for the reality, he flips.
The proof that Juliette produces to show he is hiding his true id is a photograph of the true Solo, together with a lady named Trina Samuels. That was sufficient to ship Cole/Solo right into a frenzy, the place he screams that he’s each the I.T. shadow and Solo.
The place Silo Season 2 Presently Leaves Juliette, And Why I am Frightened
This type of menace is unhealthy sufficient by itself, particularly when you think about that the ticking time bomb that’s Silo 17 goes to be underwater in some unspecified time in the future. However the finish of “Descent” sees our hero each discovering a blessing and a setback.
The excellent news is that Rebecca Ferguson’s beginner detective discovered that pristine swimsuit helmet she was on the lookout for. The unhealthy information is, she has a reasonably unhealthy arm wound, and he or she’s now handed out from some unknown trigger.
Image it: Silo 17 – slowly filling with water, you simply need to put collectively a safety swimsuit to move again dwelling to Silo 18. Nonetheless, you’re now handed out with an illuminated flashlight, after making an attempt to tug an Irish exit on the madman who was simply screaming in your face.
That’s just about the place Silo leaves Juliette, and for as soon as it seems like there’s a larger menace than a dystopian paternalistic paperwork looming over her. So, yeah, I am very fearful…
Admittedly, issues aren’t that significantly better in Silo 18 at this level, as Silo’s stunning fourth episode ending continues to be being felt by newly minted fugitives Knox (Shane McRae) and Shirley (Remmie Milner). In the meantime, Sims (Widespread) has been named a decide by Bernard (Tim Robbins), to be able to fill the emptiness of the late Decide Meadows. And to make this chaotic cocktail full, Sheriff Billings (Chinaza Uche) is asking the suitable kinds of mistaken questions, and Lukas Kyle (Avi Nash) has discovered some hidden tunnels that lead out of Silo 18.
That is the purpose the place I thank creator/showrunner Graham Yost for nixing Silo’s potential alternating storyline technique, as I don’t assume I’d have the ability to sit by a whole episode with out figuring out how Juliette goes to get out of this mess involving Solo. Then once more, there won’t be a multitude to be gotten out of.
We’ll see subsequent Friday when Episode 206 – “Baracades” debuts for these with an Apple TV+ subscription! Till subsequent time, good luck coping with the suspense…and making an attempt to not hum random Les Miserables present tunes to your self after studying the subsequent chapter’s title.
