In Silo season 3 episode 3, we saw the hunt for truth in two timelines. Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson), desperate to find out what she can’t remember, hunted for Lucas Kyle (Avi Nash), going all the way to the mines.
She found more than she bargained for and was nearly killed. Daniel (Ashley Zukerman) and Helen (Jessica Henwick) sought answers about the secret mission that nearly killed his sister. They found someone with a recording, but that quickly evaporated. In season 3 episode 4, “Whatever You Do, Don’t Go Home,” is about the aftermath.
Killing Juliette
As we ended the previous episode, Camille (Alexandria Riley) got some tough news. In order to save the Silo from getting a dose of Vitamin D+ in the water supply, she has to kill Juliette. The intelligence that runs the Silo sees it as the only way. Camille was reticent at first, but she ended up resolved to make it happen.
As we pick up, she puts her plan into motion. It seems that it will be harder to achieve that goal than she previously believed. Camille sends word ahead to Nurse Amy (Jacqueline Berces) to sedate Juliette before she arrives. Rob (Common) offers to come and assist. It turns out Nurse Amy isn’t as loyal as they’d hoped. She, instead, helps Juliette escape.
When Rob and Camille arrive, Juliette is gone. With their plan off the tracks, they begin pursuit. Rob notes he’ll handle it personally, both tracking Juliette down and taking her off the board. Meanwhile, Knox (Shane McRae) and Shirley (Remmie Milner) arrive to see Juliette. Shirley, in particular, is concerned about how she left things.
They aren’t met with a warm reception. Shirley is turned away, and Knox decides to try his hand. After exchanging some unpleasant words, he takes a swing. He ends up detained, while Shirley learns Juliette is alive and running, and Shirley heads off to assist.
Dead ends
Helen and Daniel, meanwhile, are reeling after discovering their source is missing. They decide to hide in Helen’s ex-boyfriend’s vacant apartment. The following day, Daniel makes an appointment to see an old friend now working in intelligence. Sam (Elijah Cook) loves Daniel, but he doesn’t want to risk getting involved in the hunt for what happened on that flight. Stymied, Daniel and Helen appear to be at a dead end when Henry (Reed Birney) arrives.
Henry was on site at the hospital where Daniel’s sister was being treated, and he was in the newsroom when Helen was fired. They correctly assume he’s working for whoever is responsible for this mess. He comes to them with an offer. For Helen, it’s to get a dream job for a reputable paper. For Daniel, it’s to be sure his sister remains under great care. That’s if they give up the hunt and go back to their lives.
Helen and Daniel are split. While waiting, Daniel hears from Sam. Sam couldn’t let his friends’ request lie, and now he’s found something. He conveys it to Daniel, who goes to get Helen. Together, they’re going to pursue the truth, no matter what.
A big surprise
As Juliette is fleeing, she’s making her way down to the mines again. Shirley intercepts her and helps her escape, Rob. She also helps Juliette on her quest. Whatever has happened, she’s committed to being there for her friend again. They make their way down and find a secret room. When a noise prompts alarm, Juliette enters to hide while Shirley goes to intercede.
Juliette is starting to recover her memories. She is starting to remember who she is. And she’s doggedly pursuing the truth. That truth has led her back to the depths of Silo. She knows there is a truth she’s forgotten that she wants to uncover again. Instead, she finds an even bigger secret: someone who was thought to be dead. There, in the bowls of the Silo, she finds Bernard (Tim Robbins). He’s alive and mending and seems happy to see her.
We’re moving closer to understanding what is going on. There is soon to be a connection between the past and what’s happening in the present. And now that Bernard is back, we’re closer to figuring out what happened and what is going to happen in the Silo. It’s a big reveal that portends even bigger reveals yet to come.
Silo streams on Fridays on Apple TV. Check back next week as we continue to recap all the action of season 3.
