Why did the Algorithm choose Camille over Robert in Silo Season 2? Speculations explored

Apple TV's Silo Season 2 concluded with an epic finale, and it looks like Silo 18 will need a new leader in season 3.

The final moments of Silo Season 2 suggest that Bernard will most likely die. He went outside to experience a few moments of freedom, but instead, he got trapped in the airlock amid a fire purge and was engulfed in flames when the season ended.

With Bernard gone, Silo 18 will need a new leader, and the Algorithm choosing Camille over Robert suggests that it might want her to become the new leader of Silo 18 after Bernard's death, because she is a better fit than him.

More on why the Algorithm chose Camille over Robert in Silo Season 2 in our story.

The Algorithm might have recognized Camille's leadership qualities in Silo Season 2

In Silo Season 2, Robert takes his wife Camille and son to Silo 18's vault to find out what Lukas told Bernard. Upon entering, the Algorithm asks Robert and his son to leave and chooses only Camille to stay.

While the season ends without showing what it wants from Camille, looking at her journey in season 2 and Silo 18's condition in the finale, it can be assumed that she will be the new leader of Silo 18.

She has been an important figure throughout season 2, and unlike her husband, she is a better fit for the leadership role. While Robert followed Bernard's orders without questioning him, Camille was manipulative from the start and seemed skilled at evading consequences. The Algorithm might have recognized all these qualities and could ask her to be the leader of Silo 18 in season 3.

In addition, with Bernard losing faith in the system after learning the truth about the Algorithm and the Safeguard, Silo 18 is without a leader. Since Bernard has most likely died in the fire of the season 2 finale, Camille could step in as the new leader.

Camille in Silo Season 2 is not a character in Hugh Howey's Wool

Silo Seasons 1 and 2 adapted Hugh Howey's first book, Wool, and made several changes to the story. While Robert is merely a minor character in the books, he has a main story arc in season 2. Meanwhile, his wife Camille is not even a character in the books.

Camille has been an important character in Silo Season 2, as she is not naive like her husband. She knows her way around things and could be the next leading figure of Silo 18. Her character might prove important in season 3 as Juliette has now reached Silo 18, and the people might want Juliette to be the next leader.

However, judging from Juliette’s condition in the finale, she might need some time to regain her footing, during which Camille could assume power and bring changes. It will be interesting to see how her character evolves and whether she will oppose Juliette in season 3.
