Silo Season 2’s Fourth Episode Has A Pretty Huge Cliffhanger, And I Talked To The Cast About How It Shakes Things Up

by

As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in dystopian worlds, I can confidently say that the latest episode of Silo on Apple TV+ has me hooked like a fish on the line. The death of Judge Meadows and the subsequent framing of Knox and Shirley has sent shockwaves through this post-apocalyptic society, much like a glitch in my favorite video game would disrupt the balance of an entire virtual world.

heads up! this conversation might contain spoilers for season 2, episode 4 of Silo, titled “The Harmonium”. If you’re yet to watch the recent episode, consider yourself warned!

The unrest has been simmering on the upcoming schedule for the year 2024, as Apple TV+’s series “Silo” experiences increasing divisions. Following Rebecca Ferguson’s character, Juliette Nichols, leaving at the conclusion of Season 1, dissatisfaction has escalated among the residents of Silo 18 and those in power. It appears that this discord is on the verge of reaching its peak, as suggested by the events unfolding in Chapter 4 of Season 2. In light of these developments, TopMob interviewed the cast to discuss the upcoming upheavals.

Here’s my take: As we dive into discussing this epic cliffhanger that could potentially reshape the entire storyline, let me remind you to brace yourself if you haven’t caught up yet to avoid any spoilers!

Bernard’s Latest Power Move Could Go Either Way In The Eyes Of Sims

In “The Harmonium,” the narrative has been divided between different settings, and now Silo’s reappearance in both storylines is becoming more frequent. Meanwhile, in Silo 17, Juliette and Solo (Steve Zahn) were engaged in underwater investigations and music-making experiments. Conversely, the latest happenings in Silo 18 revolved around Bernard (Tim Robbins) carrying out a horrific act under The Pact’s banner.

In a more straightforward manner, here’s how we could rephrase the given text: Although it’s important to note that he killed Judge Meadows by serving her a poisoned meal disguised as a delicious dinner. Additionally, the head of Silo 18 employed a high-level artifact, known as a VR headset, to grant a dying glimpse of the world before the apocalypse to Tanya Moodie’s character. When asked about his thoughts on this action, the esteemed actor and cast member of ‘Silo,’ Mr. Robbins, revealed the following to TopMob:

Simply stated, there’s no other option for me. Unfortunately, Bernard’s predicament lies in the fact that his romantic feelings are not permitted because they could potentially jeopardize the Silo.

On one side, it’s deeply unfortunate that Bernard appears to accept his destiny as someone who will never experience romantic joy. Despite his commitment to maintaining order in Silo’s world on the brink, one must wonder if sacrificing love was truly necessary. Regrettably, it seems so, particularly when this act of violence has been shifted onto a pair of convenient fall guys.

It’s clear that Robert Sims, a capable soldier under Silo, portrayed by Common, doesn’t shy away from getting his hands dirty. However, there have been instances in the storyline so far where his human qualities have stood out. Consider this when reading about how Sims’ allegiances might change in Season 2 of the series, as discussed by Common in an interview with TopMob.

He’s yet to fully grasp it, but his confidante and the person who significantly influences his actions is his wife. This provides an insight into Sims’ character as we get a glimpse of his wife. This revelation will undoubtedly impact at least the choices he makes. Furthermore, since Sims is partnered with Bernard in their Silo plans, there’s a blend of dynamics at play.

A potential challenge might lie ahead, dear readers. I’m quite intrigued about how Judge Meadows’ demise will impact Camille Sims (Alexandria Riley), but that’s something we’ll need to stay tuned for. Meanwhile, our focus frequently shifts from the escapades of Knox (Shane McRae) and Shirley (Remmie Milner) – who are the parents of the Mechanical revolution and now sought-after fugitives.

Knox Is Now Radicalized By The Death Of Judge Meadows

As a gamer, if I had a penny for every time I spotted a move from “The Warriors” in a 2024 TV episode, I’d have two pennies. It might not seem like much, but it’s fascinating to me that shows like “Silo” and “What We Do in the Shadows” (one of the shows ending in 2024) managed to pull it off with panache! And when it comes to “The Harmonium’s” take on framing an innocent party for the death of a revered leader, Knox and Shirley find themselves cornered, with no place left to run or hide.

As I turned the last page, it appeared as if Judge Meadows had met a grim end, with Bernie and Sims pinning the blame on the Mechanical representatives who were due to meet with her. For now, it looks like even the threat of shutting down power is overshadowed by this development.

As I conversed with Shane McRae on the latest development, he brought up incidents from the last two “Silo” episodes that caused him to have a shift in feelings.

In the third and fourth episodes, I found myself utterly shattered and on edge. Knox and Shirley, a formidable duo, were the architects of this rollercoaster of emotions. Knox, full of determination, believed we’d navigate through the system. But when we ascended to the upper levels, that’s when everything unraveled for Knox. Upon witnessing the horrific scene unfold, he cracked. It was Shirley who managed to keep him in check. That instant, the old Knox ceased to exist, and a new, resilient version emerged as we raced down the stairs.

Initially, graffiti declaring “Juliette Lives” sparked a conflict between the shock forces of Mechanical and Judicial, resulting in the tragic death of young engineer Cooper (Matt Gomez Hidaka). As Silo’s fourth Season 2 episode unfolds, the parents who maintain the power for the working class are now on the run.

According to Remmie Milner, following Mr. McRae’s remark, the bitter taste of betrayal will likely unite Shirley and Knox in their struggle for survival. This could prove crucial, as it seems Bernard’s control over Silo 18 is becoming more significant. At present, he holds the strongest position, but keep in mind that things can change once we move forward.

In “Silo”, the next set of cards will be revealed this coming Friday, as Season 2, Episode 5 titled “Descent” becomes accessible for all Apple TV+ subscribers. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that the exceptional performance by Steve Zahn in the series is something we’ll continue to enjoy.
