Through "Silo" Season 2’s return to the 2024 TV schedule, the further mystery behind Silo 17’s past and Silo 18’s future continues to intrigue. With the fallout of Juliette’s exile in "Silo" Season 2’s early episodes coloring what we’ve seen so far, it appeared that this new round of author Hugh Howey’s best-selling dystopia was going to break into a more segmented sort of drama that would alternate between those two stories. However, Episode 3 proved that that format wasn't sticking around for long.

After seeing Episode 3, “Solo,” learning more about Steve Zahn’s enigmatic presence wasn’t the only clue we got for what the future will hold. The narrative has also now returned to a more traditional back and forth between “A” and “B” stories, and after speaking with showrunner Graham Yost, the reason for that decision was pretty clear.
