{{Quote|My little soul… I haven't seen your face yet, but my love for you is already limitless. You aren't just my child. You're the future. As you grow up, you'll hear many stories about your mother. (…) How, aboard Big Alice, she assured your survival yet again. And of your father, changing what was left of the world. Our journey to bring you into this world has been brutal. But I wouldn't change a single misstep or agonizing decision that led to your life. I pray the choices your father and I have made are gifts. The gift of <u>a new life</u>. And the strength to face its dangers… on ''Snowpiercer'',''' 1,029 cars long'''.|[[Zarah Ferami]]}}

==Trivia==
*The title of the episode is a line in [[Zarah Ferami]]'s opening dialogue, about her and Layton's child. The title could also be implying about how [[Pike]] had a chance to start  his new life, but he declined it.
*A Third Class tradition for naming a baby, involves writing down the name of someone special they remember, hanging it on a tree and picking one they really like when the baby is born. The tree is also lit up.
*It's revealed that [[Winnie]]'s name, Winnipeg, came from an old tradition to name a baby after the nearest city.
*[[Sykes]] is revealed to have engineering knowledge and to have become a fully trusted member of the crew to the point that [[Bennett Knox]] goes to her for help with Javi.
*Sykes reveals that her own scars also came from [[Jupiter]] attacking her, just like Javi.
*[[Doctor Pelton]] states that there are less than 3,000 people left.
*Josie receives training in driving ''[[Snowpiercer]]'' from Bennett and starts forming a romantic relationship with him.
* For the first time in the entire series the sound of ''[[Snowpiercer]]'''s whistle is heard. While a whistle is heard departing Chicago in [[First, the Weather Changed]], a flashback of the same scene in [[Many Miles From Snowpiercer|''Many Miles From Snowpiercer'']], depicts no whistle.
*[[Z-Wreck]] runs a speakeasy in the Market.
*As a side effect of the cold resistance, Josie has stopped feeling pain in parts of her body, particularly in one of her legs.
*Zarah gives birth to little [[Liana Layton]].
