Editing Born to Bleed (section)

==Trivia==
*The title of the episode is a line in [[Pike]]'s opening dialogue.
*[[Strong Boy]] briefly appears in the form of a nightmare that [[Pike]] has.
*The sword that Layton shows Pike appears to be the same one that he used in ''[[Into the White]]'' to kill a Jackboot.
*[[Miles]] appears for the first time since ''[[A Single Trade]]''. It's revealed that he has continued his apprenticeship and is at the top of his class.
**Miles mentions that Wilford had continued the apprenticeships during the six months that the [[Pirate Train]] was away despite the harsh conditions.
*Wilford is shown to have been traumatized by his experiences under the suspension drug, turning him into a shell of what he once was. He now believes that the science supports the Horn of Africa as a possible location for recolonization and no longer shows any immediate desire for power, much to Miss Audrey's frustration.
*Although not explicitly stated, Till appears to have resumed her role as the new Train Detective from [[Season 2]], investigating the bombing from ''[[A New Life]]''.
**She was previously seen investigating the fire in ''[[A New Life]]'', further supporting this.
*It's suggested that the Tailie gathering in this episode is the first time that all of the Tailies are back together in the Tail since the end of the revolution in [[Season 1]].
*During the Year Three Rebellion, there was a Tailie War Council and fertilizer bombs created by [[Lights]], such as the one that Pike had used to attempt to assassinate Layton. It's suggested that with all of the losses that the Tail has suffered, Layton and Pike are the only surviving members of the War Council from that particular rebellion.
*''Born to Bleed'' and ''[[Ouroboros]]'' are the only episodes of the series to not include a single outside shot of either train.
*''Born to Bleed'' is the only episode of the series that does not mention [[Melanie Cavill]].
*The concussion that Layton had suffered from Pike's bomb, exacerbated with the fight with Pike, puts Layton into a coma.
