What does that final scene mean?
Will we get more answers from the showrunner as we head into next week’s two-part finale?
Let’s find out.

Why include that scene?
I think it’s really easy to categorize someone as being horrible and abusive.
But it’s psychological in a way at times, he could be a really good person.

It really was designed to create the full picture of Silas.
That’s the thing that’s really affecting Silas in the present.
Let’s stick with the music for a second.
I do think music is such a powerful thing and such an important thing [for] young adults.
I know it was for me.
There were no streaming services back then.
He references his grandparents in episode 4.
That’s his hope at the end of the episode.
Silas does save his mom.
She’s afraid of silence in this moment.
For Silas, that’s the ultimate betrayal.
You know my favorite game isWalking DeadWhat If?, so I want to play that with you now.
I think that it would have been close, but I think that he would have stayed.
I think Elton’s assessment that he tells Iris earlier was pretty much correct.
I think that Iris would’ve wanted him to stay.
There’s this moment at the end where Iris just wants him to say he didn’t do it.
He feels like he’s been enough of a burden.
But obviously, there would have been still things to work out in that scenario.
Put yourself in the group.
It looks like he flew off the handle, essentially.
I wish you the best, but you just can’t be with us."
I would’ve said the same thing with that information.
All right, so we see Hope tell Elton about what happened with his mom.
We really don’t have a chance to get into it in this episode.
Everything that Elton believes about the world has been rocked.
Really, I think it’s Elton processing.
We learn that Huck is working Kublek.
What can you tell us about this scene?
Yeah, that’s a big revelation there at the end of the episode.
They referenced dad’s watch, which seems to imply that there’s a mother-daughter relationship there.
I will say that we’ll get some answers in the coming episode before the end of the season.
There’s obviously going to be a lot more we’re going to be exploring in season 2.
I think it also might recontextualize the Huck flashbacks we saw in episode 7.
Can you confirm that Huck and Kublek are mother and daughter?
I will say that, if nothing else, there seems to be a mother-daughter relationship.
Oh, that’s a great question.
We will get clarity on that in the next episode.
That’s going to be a big question lingering over the proceedings, particularly in episode 9.
