Warning! This article contains spoilers for Silo Season 2, Episode 7.
In a stunning climax, episode 7 of Silo Season 2 concludes with an intense cliffhanger that raises questions about an attack on Solo, portrayed by Steve Zahn. While viewers are left in the dark about the assailant’s identity as the credits roll, the episode drops enough hints to fuel speculation. The knowledge that Solo and Juliette are the only two remaining inhabitants of Silo 17 makes this twist particularly jarring, insinuating that a third individual may have survived the chaos.
With three episodes remaining in this Apple TV+ sci-fi series, fans eagerly await the unveiling of Solo’s fate and the identity of his attacker. The history of plot twists in Silo suggests that further revelations surrounding Solo’s story are imminent. As the narrative unfolds, theories about the potential identity of the third person in Silo 17 emerge, making for an engaging discussion among viewers.
5 Solo’s Attacker May Be a Survivor of Silo 17’s Rebellion
The Survivor Could Be Seeking Revenge
A compelling theory suggests that Solo’s attacker may be another survivor from the rebellion in Silo 17. Early in the season, when Juliette questions Solo about the origin of his name, he claims it’s a testament to his solitary life in Silo 17. However, as the storyline develops, Juliette discovers evidence that contradicts Solo’s assertion of being the sole survivor.
Gravity of the situation deepens when Juliette stumbles upon some recent remains in Solo’s vault, indicating that others might have entered the scene after the insurrection. This elicits suspicion that Solo had potentially killed to protect his secret. The prospect of a vengeful survivor lurking and seeking retribution against Solo adds layers of tension to the upcoming episodes.
4 The Attacker Could Be a Traveler from Another Silo
The Traveler’s Quest for Survival May Have Led Them to Silo 17
Alternatively, another possible theory posits that the assailant could be a traveler from a different silo, much like Juliette herself. Earlier narratives explain that a man from Silo 17 managed to overcome the harsh conditions outside and vanished into the unknown, triggering the rebellion and subsequent events. The existence of multiple silos—a total of 50—implies that others may have similarly escaped and sought refuge beyond their origins.
These survivors may have found strategies for surviving outside, accessing resources that allowed them a chance at life. This raises the question of why this traveler would resort to violence against Solo and Juliette, a mystery that keeps viewers speculating.
3 The Silo’s Higher Authorities Might Have Sent the Attacker
Killing Juliette Could Be the Attacker’s Main Objective
Throughout Silo, the underlying theme has suggested that the Authority figures are distant puppeteers controlling events within the silos. In previous episodes, Lukas uncovers connections between Silos and a greater power source, hinting at manipulative forces at play. These influential entities might have orchestrated an assault on Juliette to prevent her return to Silo 18.
Since Solo has aligned himself with Juliette, it’s conceivable that he became collateral damage as part of the broader strategy to eliminate her. Past attempts on Juliette’s life, such as an incident with a severed rope when she first arrived at Silo 17, indicate that a systematic effort to eradicate her presence may be underway.
2 Bernard May Have Arranged for the Attacker
He Knew Where Juliette Went After Leaving Silo 18
As Juliette evaded detection after her departure from Silo 18, Bernard was closely monitoring her trajectory. With access to her helmet’s camera, he tracked her progress into Silo 17, observing her journey amidst the decaying remains of countless previous occupants. This suggests that Bernard may well have orchestrated an assassination attempt on her, revealing the depths of his machinations.
Alternatively, it is possible he communicated with higher authorities about Juliette’s location, prompting an official directive to eliminate her, but this theory seems less credible given Bernard’s own preoccupations within Silo 18.
1 Solo Might Have Intentionally Abandoned Juliette in the Finale
Solo’s Behavior Has Been Erratic Throughout Season 2
Solo’s increasingly erratic demeanor throughout Season 2 may hint at ulterior motives. Following Juliette’s scrutiny of his identity, his aggression escalated sharply. This behavior could signify that Solo purposely left Juliette vulnerable, viewing her doubts as a threat to his carefully constructed persona.
However, this interpretation does not fully account for the evidence of blood that Juliette encounters in her search for Solo, nor does it address the implications of someone watching her from afar—a recurring theme that suggests more inhabitants remain in the shadows of Silo 17.
