You can feel it in the air, not just the advent of the fresh new year, but the narrative momentum building towards a turbulent climax in Apple TV+’s “Silo” Season 2 as we entered this eighth episode Friday night titled, “The Book of Quinn.”
Last week’s chapter called “The Dive” found Juliette resurfacing from successfully starting the ground water pump to find Solo missing and a trail of blood and hatchet providing ominous clues to his disappearance.
