Quotes

“	Pike, if you're listening brother, I need you to hear me. This has gone on long enough. We owe it to our friends to make this right. Come and look me in the eye and say your peace, and let's be done with this. (...) I'm calling on you to settle this with honor, Pike. The Tailie way. Old Ivan's way. We'll finish this where we started. I'll be waiting.	”
	— Layton challenges Pike to an old Tailie ritual in order to settle their differences.

Josie: "We were scattered escaping this place, but it's just us here again now. And Tailies know the dark lessons of Snowpiercer better than anyone. We gather like this not out of bloodlust, but to bottle this violent dispute and bind our brothers in an outcome that we all accept. You two will sit together until you reconcile and agree on terms, be it a handshake, punishment, or compensation. If you do not agree--."

Pike: "We call for the knives. Everyone knows."

Josie: "Two must call. Both choose peace, or both choose blood. Do you abide?"

Pike: "Can we just get on with it?"

Layton: "I will."

―  Josie, Pike and Layton begin the ritual

“	I hope you find it frozen.	”
	— Pike's last words to Layton.

“	We lost a member of our family today. In Old Ivan's way there is no winner. Only the one who's left. Layton, you will stay with Pike tonight to reflect and guide him through to whatever comes next.	”
	— Josie brings the ritual to an end.

Trivia

• Strong Boy 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.
• 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.

Body Count

• Pike (stabbed in the heart by Andre Layton)
