'Silo' Season 2 Episode 5: Key character's suspicious actions raises eyebrows
Contains spoilers for 'Silo'
With each new episode, 'Silo' Season 2 is making sure to keep viewers glued to the screens as Episode 5 sheds light on the chaos that erupted following Judge Mary Meadows's (Tanya Moodie) tragic slaying. Alternating between Silo 17 and 18, the latest season is heavily focusing on the political dynamics of the intriguing universe, where characters are working for their motives.
While Bernard Holland (Tim Robbins) emerges as a clear antagonist in 'Silo' Season 2, there is this particular character in silo 18 whose shocking choices leave the audience in disbelief.
Why Camille Sims was the most unpredictable character in 'Silo' Season 2 Episode 5
In 'Silo' Season 2 Episode 5, titled 'Descent,' Robert Sims's (Common) wife, Camille Sims (Alexandria Riley), emerges as one character whose actions have viewers in disbelief. Camille plays a significant role in the episode when she protects Knox (Shane McRae) and Shirley Campbell (Remmie Milner). It turns out that, following Meadows's death, the residents of the silo are hell-bent on avenging her. In the midst of this, both Knox and Shirley are on the brink of lynching, but Camille rescues them and later helps them with a secure place. Now this is where the confusion arises, as Camille is Sims's wife, an ally of Holland, so why is she helping their enemies?
It turns out Camille understands Holland's evil intentions and is not too thrilled with them. Her distrust of Holland arises when the man appoints Sims as Meadows' successor, despite distrusting him for the late Judge's rebellion. Of course, it clearly indicates that Holland has sidelined Sims and knows Holland can dispose of them too if needed. Aware that Holland could consolidate power if the rebellion's leaders are captured, Camille intervenes to thwart his plans, which, in my opinion, is a smart move. Not only that, I strongly believe that in the upcoming episodes of 'Silo' Season 2, Camille will emerge as a strong character who has all the potential to change the dynamics of Silo 18's politics.
Fans speculate over Camille Sims's hidden motives in 'Silo'
As soon as 'Silo' Season 2 Episode made its premiere, fans started speculating about the reason behind Camille's unexpected actions under a Reddit thread.
A fan said, "I think she tried to make the new head of Judicial Security look bad bad keeping Knox and the lady hidden and it backfired on her. They eventually escape the blockade though, she’s always seemed to encourage Simms to keep going further."
Another added, "I think the point was to make sims replacement fail, so that Bernard would ask Sims to take over." A fan shared, "Mixed thoughts on this episode.. So is Sims’ wife working with him or against him? If she is, why did she not tell him what she did?"
A fan said, "I joked in Discord that maybe she's aiming to become shadow instead of Sims, because I have no clue wtf she's doing or why, but who knows, maybe she really is gunning for the position since she works in IT, lol."
