    Some thoughts about your thoughts and observations.

    spoiler

    I think Simms and his wife just want to take over for Bernard so it’s possible they could kill him.

    I suspect the water isn’t an issue because it is not actually deep enough to prevent you from standing. It just scares the crap out of anyone in the Silo as nobody knows how to swim and being in this dark pit is deceptive.

    Interesting observation about the poison. It had to be Bernard that killed the old mayor.

    It must be like a recorded video from a camera. I don’t know how that would work with 3D directions, but maybe there is a bit more advanced technology at play here in the suits helmet. As we saw in episode 9 they have no concept of what a recorded video is and it kind of freaks them out.

      The 3D directions is actually already possible today. We can use Unreal Engine and accelerometers to move the camera within a virtual space.

      But didn’t she drop a flashlight or something in the water and it sank until it disappeared?

          Yeah. I don’t know. It looked like it was slowly sinking down until you couldn’t see it anymore but it was hard to tell. I might try to go back and find that scene again.
