Maybe some people are getting confused *if* the legalese small print says something like "midnight Friday to midnight Sunday", but that really just means Saturday and Sunday. Sorry, I don't know about Silo season 2. I haven't even started season 1 yet (it is on the very long and ever-growing list to try).
