What did you think about hallucination Silco ?

I actually thought that bit was rather interestingly done.

Clearly it's not actually Silco - it's Jinx's own mind conjuring an apparition of him. You can tell, particularly when he first appears, because even though his voice is Silco's, the words that come out of him have a decidedly Jinx-esque quality to them: "Oh, it's a hell of a place."

But essentially, my interpretation is that in that moment, Silco's appearance is a manifestation of Jinx's very last hope. I very much believe she wanted to die. But for all she may believe she's a monster, she is still human, and humans at their most primal core are animals who are driven by a base will to survive. Mental illness can become so loud and all-consuming that it drowns any trace of that instinct and keeps it far beyond reach, but my interpretation of this scene is that her subconscious psyche conjured Silco for her in that moment as a last ditch attempt to pull her back from the proverbial edge. He was there the first time she lost everything; he took her in and gave her a lifeline to hold onto. And here, she once again finds herself alone, broken, and grieving - so her mind reaches for what it knows.

Silco. The only person in her life who has seen every possible side of her, and still deems her to be perfect.
