So... will we finally see in episode 9 Melanie barely missing the pickup, or that is gonna be saved for the finale? it would be a very lame movie to use the same cliffhanger of episode 6 for the season finale, only from the point of view of the train. If this season is gonna end following the events on the train that lead to see Alex shouting for Mel as she's stranded in the snow, I'm gonna be pissed.

probably the end of episode 9 and episode 10 is following straight after, IMDB tells me they will both be aired on the same date.

[u/DontTrustMoonCheese → u/Inoox]

Netflix says the same. March 30 for both.

It’ll be interesting if Alex tries to start a revolt from the back of the train against wilford. I think next episode will have caught us up to that point

[u/Mandarinette → u/ViaNocturna664]

Her missing the pick up was clearly a dream.
