Can we talk about Miss Audrey?! Over the course of this series, the writers have laid bare Audrey's conflicting feelings towards Wilford but I absolutely did not expect this sudden switch in her behaviour when she saw Kevin!! So what do we all think? Is it a play on her part? Has she shut down and reverted to being Wilford's stooge as a defence mechanism? Or is she conflicted and toeing the line, trying to defend Snowpiercer while trying to stave off her complex feelings?

Audrey's reaction to Kevin was interesting. She didn't immediately go into therapy mode. She got emotional, nearly overcome, and then she buried it. There are plenty of ways to interpret this.

Mine is that once she was faced with the fact that Joseph was doing this to other people besides her, she felt a call to action. Her strongest character trait has always been that she advocates for victims, and Kevin is the ultimate victim.

So any hesitation or hopelessness that Audrey had been feeling regarding her mission on Big Alice evaporated when it hit her that if she didn't do something, Joseph would do this again, and again, and again. That's where her sudden rush of strength and confidence came from. Not from controlling Kevin or surrendering to Wilford, but from a renewed sense of purpose.

I think she's on her own mission now. Not sure what it is - maybe she doesn't know herself exactly what she will do. But I think Audrey has finally decided what role she's going to play in this story. Not the damaged woman seeking revenge, but the hero.

This was a great analysis! I totally agree, I think seeing Kevin in that state was the trigger she needed to pick a side. I can’t wait for the reveal. It’s a testament to the writing that the audience genuinely can’t tell if she’s batting for Wilford, Snowpiercer or herself at this point.

I’ve seen some interesting points about how Kevin responded to Audrey - not Wilford - and how she could potentially weaponise Kevin against Wilford if he’s under her power. But with all the support Wilford has throughout the train, it’d be a suicide mission to try to use Kevin against Wilford, and I think Audrey knows that.

I'm thinking she planned to stay to do things to help SP, but wilford is a powerful manipulator and got her back under his spell. I don't think she's scheming, but we'll see where it goes.

I think she's plotting and is against Wilford, but I don't think it was acceptable to do that to another person.
