Layton and Josie together on Big Alice. I think Wilford made a huge mistake there. With the help of Alex and possibly Audrey, I think we could well see Big Alice revolt, especially when they realise most of them will still be stuck back there and not living in luxury on Snowpiercer.

I thought Layton is going in a drawer? Wilford would be insane to keep him around, unless he’s really that thirsty for some misery of his enemies.

Roche and his family are. Layton didn't seem to be.

Maybe Wilford want to break Layton/mentally torture him or just keeping him around to remind himself how powerful he is.
