== Throughout The Series == ===Melanie's leadership=== We were introduced to Bennett at the end of the first day in the series. The engineer was driving [[Snowpiercer]] in the Engine Room and switches his shift to Melanie, jokingly that she is Mr. Wilford.<ref>[[First, the Weather Changed|S01E01 - First, the Weather Changed]]</ref> In the following day, he and [[Javier De La Torre|Javi]] are working in the Engine, figuring out the right speed to drive the train without triggering avalanche.<ref>[[Prepare to Brace|S01E02 - Prepare to Brace]]</ref> Bennett is a reserved member of ''Snowpiercer's'' management and follows [[Melanie Cavill]]'s orders closely. Despite his devoted loyalty, he did not outright explain that he felt uneasy about pushing ahead at full speed despite Javi's warnings that the mountains around were not safe. When the mountain collapses, he investigates the damage done to one of the Ag-Sec carts with Melanie, and she vows him to secrecy; on the inside, however, he is conflicted and believes she is starving the train from the Tail to First.<ref>''[[Prepare to Brace]]''</ref> Bennett later takes part in repairing the brakes when a short-circuit threatens to derail the train. After a harrowing mission, Bennett gleefully demonstrates to the passengers in the Chains that ''Snowpiercer'' survived and is continuing on. ===Revolution=== When the train learns that Wilford is dead, Bennett remains loyal to Melanie despite Javi betraying the Engine. Bennett is enraged to learn that young Engineer Apprentice [[Miles]] helped to cause the revolution by revealing the truth to [[LJ Folger]] and goes so far as to threaten the young boy. However, Bennett quickly softens towards Miles again and answers his questions, explaining that while the Engine Eternal's fuel is in fact Eternal, the parts are not and are wearing out. After Melanie escapes with the help of Javi and [[Jinju Seong]], she contacts Bennett with a plan to defeat the Folgers army of [[Jackboots]] by disconnecting part of the train at a switch track. Working with Miles, Bennett coordinates the disconnection, driving the train while giving Miles instructions. On Bennett's signal, once Melanie and Layton have disabled two safety switches, Miles disconnects seven cars and Bennett sends them off on a different track, killing 147 people and ending the revolution. Bennett then has Miles take over driving the train while he reconnects the cars and the two embrace in victory. ===Wilford's return=== Despite his loyalty to Melanie, he is conflicted once again when ''Snowpiercer'' receives an interesting signal from an unknown source. Bennett checks out the satellite feed and instantly notices something amiss, bringing them offline in an effort to hide what he has found from Melanie and Javi. It is later revealed that the signal is ''[[Big Alice]]'', and when Melanie questions Bennett about lying, he remarks that he believes it is time to give up and welcome Wilford again due to the much-needed supplies onboard ''Big Alice''.<ref>''[[994 Cars Long]]''</ref> When Snowpiercer falls under the leadership of [[Andre Layton]] and the other members of the Tail, Bennett remains loyal to Melanie and her quest to detach Big Alice and Snowpiercer. Remaining in the Engine, Bennett walks Melanie through the process of blowing the uplink between the two trains and placing a sticky charge on the mechanism. When Melanie's suit fails, Bennett pleads with her not to give up and to board one of the trains or face being left behind to die in the wilderness; eventually, she boards Big Alice, much to Bennett's relief.<ref>''[[The Time of Two Engines]]''</ref>
