Notice! This article contains spoilers for Silo season 2 episode 7.

Silo Season 2 Episode 7 ends with a big cliffhanger that suggests someone attacked Solo. Although the episode's credits begin to roll before revealing the attacker's identity, it leaves enough clues to encourage viewers to theorize what could have happened to the character of Steve Zahn. As it was previously established that Juliette and Solo are the only two humans in Silo 17, Silo The final cliffhanger of episode 7 of season 2 is shocking because it suggests the presence of a third person.

With three more episodes left in the second season of the Apple TV+ sci-fi show, the truth about Solo's fate and the identity of his attacker will likely be revealed soon. However, until then, viewers can speculate about how the revelations surrounding the character's backstory will unfold based on the plot's development to date.

Solo's attacker is another survivor of the Silo 17 rebellion

The survivor must be seeking revenge

Perhaps the most plausible theory that explains Silo The ending of episode 7 of season 2 is that Solo was attacked by another survivor of the Silo 17 rebellion. Silo In the first moments of season 2, Juliette asked Solo the reason for his name. Steve Zahn's character responded by saying that he called himself Solo because he lives alone in Silo 17. However, Juliette soon discovered that he could not have been the only survivor of the Silo 17 rebellion.

After looking around her vault, she noticed some dead bodies and realized that they weren't as old as the ones outside Silo 17. This made her suspect that more people might have survived the rebellion than Solo lets on, and the survivors could have tried. enter your vault. However, Solo probably stopped them from invading by assassinating them. Unbeknownst to Solo, one of the Silo 17 survivors must still be out there, determined to get revenge on Solo for killing the others.

The attacker is a traveler from another silo

The traveler's quest for survival may have led them to Silo 17

Another theory that makes sense is that the attacker must be a traveler, like Juliette, from another Silo. In Silo In the opening moments of Season 2, Solo recalls the history of Silo 17 and reveals that, like Juliette, a man from his silo somehow survived the harsh conditions of the outside world and walked beyond the hills before disappearing over the horizon. Man's survival was the main reason why the Silo Mechanics started a rebellion and ended up leaving.

Given that there are 50 silos, it's hard not to believe that many humans, like Juliette, may have discovered the truth about the IT tape in their respective silos. Similar to Juliette, they must also have had access to good heat tape before leaving their silos to clean, allowing them to survive outside. Or, like Solo, they must have somehow found a way to protect themselves while their city's remaining citizens died. Solo's attacker in Silo season 2 episode 7 could be one of those survivors. However, why the survivor tries to harm Juliette and Solo remains a mystery.

The silos' higher authorities sent the attacker

Killing Juliette could be the attacker's main objective

Over and over again, Apple TV+ Silo implied that the head of IT in each underground bunker is a mere puppet of more powerful forces. In one of Silo In previous episodes of season 2, Lukas also discovered that IT is connected to an external power source, insinuating that someone is secretly monitoring and influencing every decision at Silo 18 from afar. While only time will tell who or what these powerful forces are, they must have sent an attacker to Silo 17 to kill Juliette and ensure she did not return to Silo 18.

Since Solo was trying to help Juliette, he was likely the victim of a larger scheme. When Juliette arrived at Silo 17 and tried to swing from one end of the underground city to the other using a rope, someone cut her rope and tried to kill her. This suggests that whoever attacked Solo was also trying to get to Juliette from the beginning, implying that killing Juliette may have been the main motive and Solo was just an unintentional victim who got in the way.

Bernard arranged for the attacker after learning about Juliette's survival

He knew where Juliette went after leaving Silo 18

After Juliette refused to clear Silo 18's sensor and survived long enough to disappear beyond the camera's field of view, Bernard kept an eye on where she was passing through the camera on his helmet. He could see her point of view as she stepped over hundreds of dead bodies before entering Silo 17. Since he knew where she went from the beginning, he could have hired someone and secretly sent them to kill Juliette.

Or Bernard could have informed the silos' higher authorities about Juliette's departure, and they could have sent someone to Silo 17 to get her out of the way. However, this theory seems a little less plausible because Bernard seems very fixated on things going on inside Silo 18. He has a lot of things on his plate and probably assumed Juliette is dead.

Solo Intentionally Abandoned Juliette In Silo Season 2 Episode 7 Finale

Solo's behavior has been erratic throughout Silo season 2

Solo suddenly became aggressive when Juliette confronted him in a previous episode and questioned his identity. Before agreeing to help you Silo In episode 7 of season 2, Juliette does the same again, reminding him that he is not the shadow of the Chief of IT. This raises the possibility that Solo intentionally abandoned Juliette in the episode's final moments and was trying to hurt her because she previously doubted his identity. He probably fears that Juliette will discover the truth about his past and his motives, which would expose the carefully constructed facade he has been maintaining.

However, this theory doesn't explain the trail of blood that Juliette finds after swimming to the surface and trying to find Solo. The final shot in Silo Season 2 Episode 7 also suggests that someone is watching Juliette from a distance. Similar “distant” camera angles were also featured in Silo episodes 1 and 2 of season 2, suggesting that Solo and Juliette are not the only people in the deserted underground city.
