Problems with Melanie
Upon hearing about the revolts in the Tail, Lilah questions Mr. Wilford's control over Snowpiercer. Melanie assures her that everything is under control, however she is still cautious and warns that there will be more questions asked in First — especially from those powerful enough to question Melanie's authority.[1]
Death
After Melanie detaches the rear of the train, Lilah realizes that they have been tricked and desperately tries to get out. However, Layton, Bennett and Miles disconnect seven cars from the front of the train, sending the Folgers, Nolan Grey, and their army off on a switch track to freeze to death without the rest of Snowpiercer. Lilah is devastated that LJ will be left alone and she and her husband embrace as they are sent to their doom.
