Well, now we’re talking.

Not unexpectedly, the penultimate episode of “Silo” had a lot going on, continuing a recent welcome trend of barreling to the finish line, and the last lines spoken (by Lukas, of all people) hint that the second season finale might be equally explosive and provocative.

I say Lukas (Avi Nash) “of all people” because, like a few others this season, he was basically nobody when it all started and there were some disappointing entry points to those characters (showing up and carrying important freight without viewers really knowing them), but since then the show has done a fine enough job of fleshing everyone out, save for the new kids we met in “The Safeguard.”

Oh, they are interesting, indeed, but there’s zero chance we’re starting anywhere else but the ending.

Uh oh.
