Silo (Season 2) Episode 5 ‘Descent’ Recap:
Why does Juliette decide to leave the Solo’s Silo?
Episode 5 of Silo (Season 2) takes us deeper into the chaos within the Silo. Carla suggests using porters to escape, but they need to get past two floors. Calvin, a porter, agrees to help in exchange for something belonging to Juliette. However, Calvin tips off the Raiders about the bounty on their heads, forcing Carla’s group to flee. Carla decides to stay behind due to her health issues, leaving Knox and Shirley to run away. Right before Martha also decides to leave, she kisses Carla goodbye, hinting that the two shared a difficult past together.
Meanwhile, Bernard confronts Robert for betraying him. Instead of killing him, Bernard demotes Robert to Judge and has his wife, Camille, formalize the change. While investigating the recent incidents in the Silo, Sheriff Billings finds evidence suggesting foul play in Meadows’ murder. During this time, he also discovers an injured Patrick Kennedy hiding in the Silo’s dungeons, who hints that the Silo’s beliefs are nothing but lies. Seeing the potential for truth, Billings offers medical help in exchange for more information, which Patrick eventually agrees to provide. On the other hand, Bernard enlists Pete to help restore order in the Silo, but Pete refuses, frustrated by the Silo’s oppressive rules. Bernard then shifts his focus to Lukas, bringing him up from the mines to repair a broken hard drive. Lukas uncovers a tunnel blueprint and a coded letter.
Camille intercepts Shirley and Knox, saving them from a mob. She helps them escape, and they return to Calvin to force his help. Disguised as porters, they slip past the guards but are soon spotted, causing a riot. Knox and Shirley manage to escape amid the chaos. Back at the other Silo, Juliette and Solo discuss the Silo’s power source and a potential generator outside. Solo estimates that the floodwaters will damage IT in 10 months. Juliette uncovers Solo’s true identity and confronts him, but he reacts angrily. Juliette decides to leave but faints from an infected wound. She finds a working helmet under a bed but passes out before learning more.
Silo (Season 2) Episode 6 ‘Barricades’ Recap:
Why does Solo hide Juliette’s suit?
Tensions keep rising as riots threaten to break out across the Silo. Barricades are blocking deliveries, and food is being poisoned with rat poison. Meanwhile, Knox, Shirley, and Martha reunite in Mechanical and suspect a mole is working against them. Martha believes Bernard’s plan is to divide them. People in the lower levels consider handing Knox and Shirley over, but Martha reminds them they’ve always shared resources and must stay united. Food sent down the trash chute by rebels on floor 122 boosts the spirits of the residents. The message “Juliette lives” accompanies the supplies. Bernard responds by stationing Raiders at the chutes.
On the other hand, Paul recruits Felix, a young doctor, to help Patrick Kennedy, but Felix lacks experience. Pete Nichols arrives, disguised with Kathleen as assisting a woman in labor. Pete removes Kennedy’s bullet and patches him up. However, Patrick tries to overpower Billings by not keeping the deal. When Billings threatens Kennedy, Patrick reveals that Juliette had uploaded a video of the outside world to every computer before the system was shut down. He also reveals he made a deal with Sims to forget everything in exchange for drugs and firebombing Mechanical.
Meanwhile, Lukas continues working for Bernard, while Camille defies him. Bernard accuses Camille of aiding Knox and Shirley. Camille counters by pointing out Bernard’s own violations of the law. Bernard shifts blame to Robert for organizing mob justice. At the barricades, Amundsen prepares to defend against Mechanical’s gang. Sims and Camille learn that a mole named Diego is reporting back to Bernard. Diego reveals that a second group has tools to break through concrete. Sims and Camille delay informing the Raiders, giving Mechanical time to strengthen defenses near floor 120.
Paul informs Martha that Carla hasn’t been processed and is likely in seclusion. Paul demands an investigation into Meadows’ death, but Bernard cuts communications. Paul realizes he has lost his position as Sheriff but regains clarity by avoiding the herbs. The ending of episode 6 of Silo (Season 2) shows Juliette recovering with Solo attending to her injuries. However, when she tries to leave again, Solo dismisses her and forces her to fix the pump, withholding the suit Juliette will need to save her Silo.
Silo (Season 2) Episode 7 ‘The Dive’ Recap:
The episode begins with Bernard taking Lukas to the vault after appointing him as the IT shadow. Inside the vault, Bernard introduces Lukas to the ‘Legacy,’ which is filled with relics, books, and documents that can help him decode a hidden message left by Salvador Quinn. Bernard believes this message contains information about a major problem with their silo. Lukas realizes the issue is bigger than the rebellion brewing among the residents.
Lukas works on the code and eventually figures out it’s based on numbers. However, the numbers don’t match any books in the Legacy. He tells Bernard that Quinn’s code might refer to a book outside the chamber. Bernard suspects it could be Judge Meadows’ copy of The Wizard of Oz. He gives the book to Lukas to continue solving the mystery.
Silo (Season 2) Episode 7 ‘The Dive’ Ending Explained:
Is there anyone else besides Solo in Silo No. 17?
Meanwhile, Knox and Shirley rally the residents against Bernard by spreading messages questioning the truth about Juliette and IT’s secrets. Bernard denies these accusations but worries about the growing unrest. He decides to deal with Knox and Shirley by visiting Carla, who is in judicial custody. Carla demands to know what happened to her allies, but Bernard ignores her.
Bernard’s relationship with Sims also worsens. Sims, the new head of Judicial, feels undervalued because Bernard didn’t choose him as his shadow. We also see Sheriff Billings joining Knox and Shirley in uncovering corruption, finding evidence that high-ranking officials poisoned the food supply.
Meanwhile, Bernard notices that Martha, Carla’s ex-wife, has activated a camera, making her another target in his plans. The ending of episode 7 of Silo (Season 2) shows Juliette eventually agreeing to help Solo repair a pump in his silo. She dives underwater to fix it but loses a rope on her way back. She escapes safely but finds blood where Solo was waiting. He is nowhere to be found. Is Solo dead? Could it be a Silo 18 resident survivor (or a survivor from another silo) who was left out to die and has somehow made it to Silo 17?
