In tonight’s Snowpiercer episode, Hope is a powerful thing. Melanie used it to unite the people. First with a lie and then with a promise of a new life on Snowpiercer. Andre Layton used hope to inspire the people. He inspired them to fight for their freedom and look where that’s got him. He’s locked away while Snowpiercer is under new management. Mr. Wilford was in charge now. He’s turned hope into fear.
He has everything running smoothly and people are showing up to work. However, it doesn’t matter if everyone lives in fear of what Wilford will do next. He has everyone on edge and the best way to survive him is to make themselves useful to him although Wilford is planning something. He has Kevin gathering information on the passengers. Kevin is to ask the people if they’re unticketed and he even has to ask if they knew any of the rebels.
Wilford was information-gathering. He clearly hasn’t forgotten when people turned against him and he also doesn’t like what Melanie has done. Wilford took issue with Train Detective. He said that in his day there wasn’t any crime. There was just an order. He thinks Melanie had to create the position because her reign was unstable and so it’s a good thing people are withholding certain secrets from him.
It turns out Melanie hasn’t been in contact with anyone on the train in more than a week. The train was also running a day behind in picking her up from the designated location and so there’s no telling if Melanie will be there or not. The team was also dealing with Layton’s departure. Layton was in the dregs of the trains. He was a prisoner being fed blocks of food.
With no Layton or Melanie, there was no one standing up to Wilford. Then there was Josie. Josie has been experimented on without her consent and she found out about it when she put her hand in the ice chamber. Her hand was fine when it shouldn’t have been. Josie knows now that there was something different about her and she demanded the truth from the doctors. Only the doctors wouldn’t say what exactly they did.
They instead mentioned how they saved her life and they gave her a new face after the last one had been pretty much burnt off. Josie didn’t get any clear answers from them. She just knows now she’s powerful. And besides the experimentation, Wilford it seems has created a carnival in one of the unused carts.
Wilford even created a puppet show for his carnival. In it, Melanie is shown to be delusional and she dies after her personal trek to the mountain top. Wilford’s audience hadn’t liked this ending. They claimed Melanie wouldn’t like either when she gets back and so Wilford told them he knew the truth.
He knew that they had lost contact with Melanie ten days ago. Wilford also knows that engineers have been doctoring data to cover it up and that Melanie is most likely dead. Which was hard for Alex to deal with. She didn’t cry or at least not in front of Wilford and so Wilford didn’t get that satisfaction. The most joy he got was from his carnival. Wilford threw a big party to launch it as a new event and Ruth had to put everything together.
Ruth was the one that truly kept things running. She arranged for the party and she spoke with Layton’s allies when no one was looking. She told them to keep their heads down. Only she didn’t know about Josie or Josie’s newfound abilities. Josie tested her new ability to handle the cold. She allowed the doctors to continued their experimentation.
She went into an ice chamber and she allowed them to test her to see how far can her body deal with the cold before it starts turning against her. Josie was so busy doing that, she missed Winnie. The little girl Winnie tried reaching Josie to pass off a message. The message was to believe in Layton’s dream and to hold on and Winnie couldn’t find Josie to deliver that message.
It was also hard to believe in Layton when Layton was being imprisoned in Compost. Wilford visited him down there to taunt him and he laughed that for all his integrity and dreams of a better life – Layton was now shoveling sh*t. Wilford wasn’t done with his games.
He taunted Layton and later on, he taunted Layton’s allies at the party he put together. He apparently put together the guest list behind Ruth’s back and so Ruth wasn’t able to warn anyone. Lilah Junior was also invited. She brought along her boyfriend and her boyfriend defended her after Wilford turned on her as well. Wilford was a massive jerk at the party. He showed up drunk with Audrey and they both made nuisances of themselves.
Later, Josie got the message from Winnie. She was able to pass it off to Layton and, while she was there, she told him that she could get him out of there. Josie told him she could break him out and it was Layton that told her “no”. He said Wilford has plans for her. He wants to focus on herself right now because tomorrow was too uncertain and so she left him in his prison cell. Josie returned to her quarters on the train.
All the while Ruth was given a nasty surprise. She was told that the census that Wilford was doing is what he did on Big Alice. He culled half of the people he thought was a waste of resources and he plans on doing it again. He also doesn’t want to return for Melanie. He claims that it would be too much of a risk and so he asked Ruth to deliver the message.
THE END!
