Notice! This article contains spoilers for Silo season 2 episode 7.
Silo season 2 episode 7 briefly mentions the curves right before Juliette dives underwater, which raises concerns about whether Juliette will end up suffering from the dangerous health condition. When Rebecca Ferguson's Juliette arrived at Silo 17, her only goal was to find a way to build a suit and return home. However, the closer she got to achieving this goal, the more Solo realized that she could help him drain the water from his Silo.
Although Juliette initially ignores Solo's requests, she eventually relents after feeling sorry for him. She dives into the depths of the water flooding Silo 17 and repairs its water drainage pump to ensure that water from the lower levels never reaches Solo's vault. However, at the end of Silo In episode 7 of season 2, she is forced to swim to the surface quickly, only to discover that Solo has disappeared. Juliette initially seems okay when she investigates what might have happened to Solo, but it's hard not to believe that the curveballs will soon catch up with her.
Severe cases of bends can lead to the death of divers
Juliette is at serious risk after the events of episode 7
Juliette is left without oxygen when her makeshift breathing tube stops working. This forces her to run to the surface in Silo episode 7 of season 2. Before Juliette dived underwater, Solo told her that she must slowly make her way toward the surface, or she could risk contracting a fatal condition called bends. Technically called decompression sickness, Curves occur when bubbles form in a person's body due to a sudden change in pressure. When a diver ascends underwater without taking breaks, the ambient pressure suddenly decreases, causing nitrogen in the bloodstream to form bubbles.
The formation of these nitrogen bubbles in joints and other organs can cause severe pain, dizziness, heaviness in the chest and, in severe cases, death. It is called “curvature” because the formation of blisters in the joints can cause immense pain, causing the person to “double over”. In Silo In episode 7 of season 2, Juliette has no symptoms of curves and appears completely fine after getting out of the water. However, she may not be out of the woods yet.
Juliette may not experience curve symptoms immediately at Silo
Curves can have delayed effects
Considering how Juliette is Silomain character, it wouldn't make sense if the turns of her underwater adventure in episode 7 killed her. However, since the show mentioned passing curves, it seems likely that she will eventually show some symptoms of the health issue. Although she seems fine in the final moments of Season 2 Episode 7, the initial lack of symptoms does not guarantee that she is well. Symptoms of curves can take hours and sometimes even days to appear.
This could mean that Juliette could eventually face many complications, including difficulty walking, dizziness, and confusion. Someone seems to attack Solo in Silo end of episode 7 of season 2, which means Juliette is about to face another big challenge in the next episode. Once this is resolved, she will have to rush back to Silo 18 to ensure that her people don't end up making reckless decisions after the rebellion. However, if symptoms of curves appear, she could end up wasting valuable time trying to take care of her health.
What kind of treatment would Juliette need if she had curves in the silo
Juliette may not have the resources for treatment
The health condition is typically treated through recompression using a recompression chamber. However, it seems unlikely that Juliette would have access to a recompression chamber in Silo 17. Another relatively riskier method that divers use to heal bends is called in-water recompression (IWR). In this method, the diver returns underwater to a depth where the pressure is greater than at the surface, but lower than the depth at which he initially dived. The high-pressure conditions created through the method dissolve nitrogen back into the bloodstream.
...If her symptoms start to appear in Silo In future episodes of Season 2, she will have to rely on her ability to recover and endure pain to survive before she can return to Silo 18 and receive proper medical care.
While underwater, the diver must also inhale an oxygen-rich mixture to ensure that nitrogen is dissolved efficiently. In the Apple TV+ sci-fi show, Juliette has neither the time nor the equipment to perform in-water recompression (IWR). Therefore, if her symptoms start to appear in Silo In future episodes of Season 2, she will have to rely on her ability to recover and endure pain to survive before she can return to Silo 18 and receive proper medical care.
