The episode, titled "Troy," confirmed that the mysterious "Algorithm" governing the silos is a human operator and established the central mission for the show's fourth and final season. The finale opens in the future timeline within the high-tech Silo 1, where Daniel, now known as Troy, is awakened from cryogenic sleep. He has been kept alive for over 300 years, his memories suppressed by drugs, to serve as an advisor. He is briefed on a rebellion in Silo 17, where residents have exited the silo. Troy orders a drone strike that kills all 9,832 people who left, despite the objections of a drone pilot named Susan, who is revealed to be his sister, Charlotte. Neither sibling recognizes the other due to the memory suppression. Troy reports to Victor, a senior figure in the silo project who is also the voice behind the Algorithm. Victor appears deeply disturbed by Troy's actions. Later, Troy asks Victor to help him identify a woman who appears in his fragmented memories.
