This episode was so far IMO the best episode, and an important one as we see Nichols pivot from head mechanic at "the bottom " sector to accepting the sheriff position. This episode was mainly about the mechanics having to fix their failing generator and to do so they had to shut down power to the entire Silo and risk losing it forever. Without giving to much away this episode kept me focused and on the edge of my seat for nearly the entire 58 min. This episode was important because now Nichols will take the sheriff position and what I would assume is go on a quest for truth about not only her dead boyfriend but the original sheriff's "truth" about why they are in the Silo and more important, what is outside of the Silo.
Now during this episode the mayor makes a long trip down to the bottom to present Nichols with the sheriff position , but stops at different levels on her way. Almost like a farewell tour which you will find out as the episode goes on. While the power is temporally shut down you can see the screen that shows the outside world from the people in the Silos perspective glitch for a second or 2 to actually green lush outside. A few notice but that will definitely come into play in the coming episodes. Who saw what and who will act on the pursuit of the truth as to why they are all down in the Silo, who built it, what was this so called rebellion, and most importantly, is the outside world really this poisonous wasteland or are the people being held captive by whomever is in charge ??
So far this is a really good season, and I'm someone who is usually skeptical about these type of shows and get bored fast. Not Silo. This has been well acted and good pace and story as well as keeps your attention throughout so far. Hope it stays on course.
