As silo klaxons blare within the aftermath of Juliette going rogue, Bernard invokes an emergency curfew and orders Sims to control Juliette’s father and detain two folks within the Down Deep that he feels are complicit in Juliette’s swimsuit survival. Riotous people within the cafeteria wrongly conclude that since Juliette marched to the place nobody has ever gone, that it is completely protected to go outdoors. Shirley had learn Walker’s word to Juliette mentioning the protection tape and concludes that it was swapped out.
Cooler heads prevail for a second, however the assembled mob is completed with the lies and threatens to chop the facility and shut the silo down. Walker arrives to finish the hostile turmoil by drenching them down with a high-pressure water hose.
