Does Judge Meadows die in Silo Season 2 Episode 4?
Yes, Bernard kills Judge Meadows in Silo Season 2 Episode 4, leading to her demise.
In the previous episode, the viewers witnessed Bernard willing to help Judge Meadows to get out of the Silo. He assures her that her departure will remain unlearned to Silo residents, given he will turn off the projection. However, in the latest episode, he didn’t let her go rather, he betrayed her.
Meadows goes to Bernard to discuss Sims’ efforts to impeach her which could potentially lead to her departure from Silo back. She reveals that though she entertained the Mechanicals, she would never allow them to go outside Silo. Soon, Bernard feels that he likely misjudged Meadows and eventually invites her for dinner. Nonetheless, Bernard takes their quiet dinner as a chance to poison her, leading to her ultimate death. He asks Sims to make her intentional death look like a murder and lay a trap to pin it on The Mechanical.
Why did Bernard have Judge Meadows killed?
It appears that Bernard had been brewing plans to eliminate Judge Meadows and was just playing along all this time. With her murder, he now got a chance to pin something huge on The Mechanical, so that they don’t try to rebel against the order.
Though Bernard entertained Meadows’ plan for departure from Silo, he eventually brews a sinister plan for her. He pretends to have misjudged her for listening to The Mechanicals. However, it seems like underneath, he had every move decided to kill her. Probably this is why he also had Sims in his apartment with a knife and a bag, if at all, plan A (poisoning) went awry.
