Ok, the question is what happens to Juliet when she jumps off the railing, in her attempt to escape Holland and Sims and their fascist goons?
Let me again say that I haven't read any of Hugh Howey's books upon which this series is based, so I honestly don't know what will happen next.
And I'll also say that, in general, I tend to believe that unless you see a character's head severed or blown off, there's alway a chance that the character survived. But ... that's what I said when Marnes was shot, and he indeed died. And I also thought that Holston and even his wife perhaps survived when they got outside, and, so far, at least, they didn't. The point here is that so far in this superb 1984-like series, people who seem close to death always have died.
But I do think Juliet is different. Also, she knows the depths of the silo like the back of her hand. And, also, she broke free of Billings precisely because she didn't want to go outside to die. So I'm betting she knows a ledge on the way down that she can get a grip on, stop her fall, and move on to safety. We'll see what happens next week.
Meanwhile, another thing I really liked about this episode is that it cleared her father. He didn't go to the authorities with info about what his wife, Juliet's mother, was doing. They found out what she was doing via their spying cameras. And, while we're at it, Billings seems to be a fairly good guy, too.
Which is a very good thing, because with the Mayor revealed as bad, there are some powerful forces now out to kill Juliet.
I'll see you back here next week with my next review. I'm glad about the news that Silo was renewed for a second season. This is powerful science fiction indeed.
