(But its TV, sorry.

Unless youre reading this after the season has finished airing, youve gotta wait.)

It turns out that these arent newcomers.

Apparently, when the Silo 17 rebellion went sour, Solo wasnt the only one who survived.

During Juliettes initial exploration inthe season premiere, when the wire she used to swing between levels broke?

That was Audreys doing.

The trio messed with her big dive to the water pumps, too.

On the one hand, a postapocalyptic world is so dangerous that survival must take precedence over kindness.

On the other hand, humans are a scarce resource, better cultivated than wasted.

The latter point is something Audrey has trouble understanding.

Juliette is mainly trying to save Solo, who is not dead but merely wounded and imprisoned.

A preteen Solo real name Jimmy watched his own father die through the Vault window.

Jimmy asks her, Why didnt you just leave?

When she doesnt say anything, he pats her tenderly on the shoulder.

On the rebellion side, there are some wins and some losses.

Well, Walker, apparently.

Could he be intentionally lying?)

Oh, there are 50 other silos?

Yeah, Bernard knew that.

Oh, theres some kind of deadly Safeguard for when rebellions get out of hand?

Yeah, Bernards been warning about that in private conversations for two seasons now.

And here comes the cliffhanger.

At the end of the tunnel, Lukas finds a door.

Secret Silo 17 survivors!

Secret tunnels and doors!

A secret no one else can hear!

But has Bernard overestimated his power here?

The last time he met with the deputies, they seemed pretty skeptical about everything he had to say.

I just met Eater, but I would protect her with my life.

I respect Solos choice to play some music for his guests, who have never heard music before.

I, um, almost drowned and I got shot with an arrow … (Before then it will say something like [womans voice].)

But at the end of this episode?

When the booming voice is talking to Lukas?

The captions referred to the person speaking as The Algorithm.

Make of that what you will.
