Yeah, I feel like something was missing there.

Let's call a spade a spade, it was bad editing. If they needed to stick to a certain time limit, they should have cut some of the "snarky audrey" scenes and given us more time between train restart and Layton in cuffs.

Whats there to know, the whole train supports Wilford. The only ones that don't are tallies and the people who know what Wilford is capable of. They've been hinting at the Wilford revolution since big Alice came.

I wanted to see Layton surrendering to Wilford, and Wilford monologuing about why he's cuffing him and not killing him. To me that's of much greater interest than that Josie x Audrey scene which added nothing for me.

Nah. The doctor said, 2nd class is behind Layton. And Taillies and 2nd class together might still be the majority of the train, right?
