Warning! This article contains spoilers for Silo season 2’s episode 6.
Patrick Kennedy compares his secrets with a page Billings owns when the Sheriff reaches out to him to learn more about the world they live inSiloseason 2’s episode 6. AlthoughSiloseason 2’s episode 6does not reveal what page Kennedy is referring to, the show has already disclosed what was on that page. Since a lot happened inSiloseason 1, and it has been a while since it first premiered, many of its story details have gradually been forgotten and may need revisiting.
Owing to this, some viewers may struggle to recall how Patrick Kennedy’s reference to the secret page is a callback to a crucial scene fromSiloseason 1’s endingarc. Although the page does not seem to hold immense significance in the show’s overarching storyline, and Kennedy only uses it as a reference to hint at a bigger secret, it ties to a crucial narrative beatSiloseason 2 is developing. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the meaning of the secret page and what it has on it.
Sheriff Billings Still Has A Page From The Georgia Travel Book Seen In Silo Season 1
George Wilkins Owned The Book Before Billings Got It
Apple TV+‘sSilohas established that owning almost any book that reveals the truth about the world before the silos were built is against the law. Most books are considered red relics, and the ones owning them could be severely punished. However, as Juliette later discovers, George Wilkins owned a book from the before-times, “Amazing Adventures in Georgia: a travel guide for kids.” She acquires the book from Regina Jackson, who got it from Wilkins after she gave him the hard drive.The book had been passed down to him by his aunt, Gloria Hildebrandt, as a gift from his mother.
George Wilkins’ mother,Anne Wilkins, was a Flamekeeperwho had helped Juliette’s mother, Hanna Nichols, in some capacity during the previous rebellion.
InSiloseason 1, Paul Billings, too, gets his hands on the book when he looks for Juliette in Holston’s apartment. Since the book contains colorful images of sea life in Georgia and other scintillating scenes of what people did before the world became uninhabitable, it blows away Billings as much as it impresses all the otherSiloseason 1 characterswho find it before him. However, realizing the book is a red relic, Billings burns it in an oven to ensure no one else gets access to it.
Why Sheriff Billings Kept The Page From The Guide Book
His Curiosity Gets The Best Of Him
Before destroying the book, Billings tears a page that seeminglycontains illustrations of downtown Savannah, Georgia, revealing an orange tour bus and the Georgia Capitol Museum’s famous gold dome. He does this because, even though he wishes to stay loyal to the Silo’s higher authorities, his curiosity gets the best of him, and he cannot help but keep some evidence of the secret he discovers. Like Juliette, he feels fascinated by the world before the Silo and the life humans once got to live outside.
Silo’s Judge Meadows Explained: Mayor’s Shadow, Red Relics & Why She Wants To Go Out

He also experienced symptoms ofThe Syndrome throughoutSiloseason 1because it reflected his helplessness and inability to find answers. However, once he starts understanding the scale of Bernard’s lies inSiloseason 2, he doubles down on embracing his curiosity and defying orders from the higher-ups.
