‘Snowpiercer’ Season 2 Episode 8 Recap
Sam Roche (Mike O’Malley) acts as the narrative voice-over of the episode and talks about the forthcoming civil war. The bodies of the Breachmen are being ejected from the train and the crew, helplessly, just watches over the proceedings. The entire sequence makes one thing clear: the end is near.
The primary focus of the episode, titled ‘The Eternal Engineer’, is on Roche and his wife Anne (Elaine Kao).
Both of them have different loyalties and look at the existing situation in two different ways. Sam believes in Layon, whereas his wife supports Joseph Wilford (Sean Bean). Meanwhile, there is a leak on the train and water starts to enter inside some of its cars.
Wilford deploys Icy Bob (Andre Tricoteux) to vandalize the Snowpiercer. Alex (Rowan Blanchard) sees Icy Bob outside the train and suspects foul play. Layton and Till ask the breachman to go out and repair the damage. However, he refuses to believe that Wilford is behind all the damage and the deaths of his comrades.
The breachman identifies the fault and feels Wilford is behind all this. Meanwhile, the Hydrogen levels begin to fluctuate on Snowpeircer. The engineers are unable to fix the issue, and reluctantly, they agree to let in Wilford.
Wilford manages to take control of the Snowpiercer while Layton loses everything that he had gained.
