There is a wafer-thin line between chaos and order and we’re about to see simply how fragile that demarkation level is in Apple TV+’s “Silo” Season 2 episode 2 titled “Order” as we transition from Juliette’s massive revelation that she’s not alone within the useless Silo 17 in final week’s premiere and return to her previous deserted house in Silo 18.
There, within the wake of Juliette’s accomplishment of striding over the hill and vanishing to the shock of onlookers in Silo 18’s cafeteria, the unpredictable seeds of revolution and civil unrest are being planted. We now are in a tinder field of concern and distrust as we witness the impact this occasion has had on the residents and Bernard can really feel the inevitable shift like a nest of swarming hornets (a metaphorical insect he is presumably by no means seen earlier than). However nonetheless, it is a aggravating time in Silo 18!
We kick off this chapter with Bernard within the server room observing the recorded video feed from Juliette’s helmet as she crunches throughout the carpet of skeletal bones left by the silly fleeing inhabitants of Silo 17. This seemingly takes place the identical day she took her stunning stroll. He’s clearly disturbed by what he sees and instantly consults his Founders bible, “The Order,” for protocols to implement within the occasion of failed cleanings and the disturbing reply is… Put together For Warfare.
Discover additionally that this safe server room door is similar to the vault door in Silo 17 the place Juliette discovers one blue-eyed man nonetheless alive peering via the portal.
As silo klaxons blare within the aftermath of Juliette going rogue, Bernard invokes an emergency curfew and orders Sims to keep watch over Juliette’s father and detain two folks within the Down Deep that he feels are complicit in Juliette’s swimsuit survival. Riotous people within the cafeteria wrongly conclude that since Juliette marched to the place nobody has ever gone, that it is completely secure to go exterior. Shirley had learn Walker’s notice to Juliette mentioning the security tape and concludes that it was swapped out.
Cooler heads prevail for a second, however the assembled mob is finished with the lies and threatens to chop the facility and shut the silo down. Walker arrives to finish the hostile turmoil by drenching them down with a high-pressure water hose.
Deputy Billings questions actuality as effectively and takes Sims’ assertion on whether or not or not Juliette requested to go exterior when apprehended for being in violation of the silo’s relic legal guidelines for the key onerous drive she had found. He presses Sims in a tense confrontation, hinting that Billings doesn’t consider Sims about Juliette’s banishment.
In the meantime the concept Juliette remains to be alive is changing into very actual. The sheriff’s division involves take Walker and Carla into custody for questioning, whereas in her dreary cluttered condo, Decide Meadows is informed the information that Juliette walked over the hill, inflicting Bernard’s former shadow to query every little thing and pour out her drug-tainted vitamin juice into the sink for psychological readability.
Sensing that an rebellion is nigh after clashing with a severely unhinged Shirley, Knox detours all the way down to the mines to speak to his wheelchair-bound good friend to ask that no weapons be cast if anybody approaches him, together with a second silent request that can doubtless play into the plot down the highway.
Bernard is feeling determined and visits Meadows to acquire her counsel on the dire scenario which may shortly escalate into full scale riot. Right here we study extra about their relationship when Meadows labored in IT beneath Bernard previous to her time in Judicial. He decides {that a} speech to the residents is important and hatches a plan to spin the unbelievable story right into a brighter gentle the place Juliette is a hero.
Throughout his emergency speech, Bernard lies convincingly and tells those that the tape on Juliette’s swimsuit was an IT prototype that was thought to permit longer publicity to the poisonous parts exterior, an experimental assist that Juliette bravely agreed to check out for them when she “voluntarily” exited.
A strict curfew for the silo begins, however Shirley will not be backing down and begins recruiting people to affix an open riot that can hopefully result in the reality, however not everyone seems to be onboard. Visibly shaken, Bernard instinctively is aware of that the ugly destiny of Silo 17 might simply repeated itself there as “Juliette Lives” graffiti begins to look across the silo unexpectedly scrawled as a cryptic “JL” and riot simmers additional!
Lastly, in trade for Meadows’ continued assist and endorsement throughout this brewing disaster, Bernard agrees to place apart a provide of the great tape to seal a brand new survival swimsuit for her as she declares her intentions to go exterior and discover freedom just like the Wizard from “The Wizard of Oz” in his State Honest scorching air balloon.
