To backtrack: The catalyst in Silo is, of course, Allison (Rashida Jones) and George finding that video of an old cleaning on the holy grail of a hard drive from before the rebellion. In a tragic turn of events, the finale reveals that, yes, the display is a lie - it’s just that we’ve been talking about the wrong display. This is the big moment that changes the game. So let’s take a look at the whole picture with a deep dive into five major moments from the finale, and what they might mean for the story that lies ahead. But some major discoveries and reveals are happening within the Silo walls, too. What she discovers moves the series into a whole new gear. It brings closure but is also devastating.Īll in all, Jules has a pretty shitty last day in the Silo, but her story only gets wilder once she steps outside in the last five minutes of the episode. Oh, plus she learns what happened to her boyfriend George (Ferdinand Kingsley), who jumped off the railing to keep the hard drive with clues as to what is really going on in the Silo safe. She eventually accepts a deal from the secret Big Bad of the season, Bernard the mayor (Tim Robbins), in which he promises no harm will come to her friends and family as long as she accepts her cleaning sentence, which up to this point means certain death.

In the finale episode, main protagonist and mechanical whiz kid turned unlikely sheriff Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) attempts to show everyone in the Silo that they’re being lied to about what the outside looks like, but mostly fails. It provides us with some clear answers - yes, we do learn what’s going on outside - while also setting up a host of questions for season two - because do we really know what’s going on outside?
