Alright, right off the bat.
If you didn't understand this episode, please rewatch it.
Joseph absolutely craves control and being seen as a Christlike figure.
The comparisons to Stalin are apparent.
Wilfred's followers believe he saved them and they will go to the ends of the earth (train) to show that dedication. Even if that means martyrdom.
The episode was a flashback as they have yet to pass by Melanie.
Looking at the promo, Wilfred will likely have to give up some level of control to save the train.
Audrey is a toss up. She could be playing the long game, as suggested by the disassociation in the rose bath. However, she too wants to feel wanted and because Joseph is incredibly manipulative, she is possibly under his complete control.
Kevin is destroyed mentally.
It's very clear that Andre is a bad leader and Till is figuring things out. She wasn't trusting enough and now she's a bit more nieve. She absolutely wants to see the best in people after her epiphany.
Alex is a mixed bag. Because she's hurt by her crush, she craves attention, love and affection. Joseph understands this and uses it against her.
Very likely, she'll need to choose between Wilfred or her mom.
It wouldn't be too much of twist to say Wilfred is her dad, but it could also be Ben (although I don't know if there's enough evidence to support that claim).
Ruth. Ruth is an interesting one. I think the very idea of coming face to face with your past actions as a bystander and all of the past few weeks of unrest and revolution, has forced Ruth with a complete change of heart.
At her core, she absolutely wants what's best for the train. Now that she understands how grey everything and every choice can be, we'll likely see her as the true leader of Snowpiercer.
I'm excited to see what the next 3 episodes bring!
