I would like to see Silas either say less or just a little more. I worry that the way he left it may create just enough additional resistance that Clark might decide not to go and that would be disastrous. Although being trapped in the ballroom during the hostage situation triggered a world-wide revelation, having been trapped *outside* of the ballroom would have been worse. There was no way he could have gotten into the ballroom to rescue the hostages if he hadn't already been there; either he or the hostages would have been lost.
Maybe Silas could admit to 'what' happened instead of hinting at 'when'? "You saved xxx lives but the world learned your secret, but the timing was right," or something to that effect?
