What happens in 'Snowpiercer' Season 4 Episode 2?
Admiral Anton Milius (Clark Gregg) and his men have forcibly boarded the train, forcing Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) to surrender the engine by threatening to kill Ben.
After relinquishing control of the engine, Ben (Iddo Goldberg) and Melanie secretly devise a plan to reclaim it while ensuring the safety of the passengers.
As Melanie finally returns to the engine, she meets a scientist, named Nima, whom she recognizes before the freeze.
He reveals that he and other scientists developed a compound designed to trigger the denaturation of CW7 in the upper atmosphere, causing it to fall from the sky.
Melanie realizes that Nima's efforts created six warm spots on Earth, including New Eden. Nima explains that despite their progress, their attempts will fail because the equator remains frozen. Therefore, they need the train to launch the compound from the opposite side of the plane
Trusting Nima and his discovery, Melanie decides to join the mission, despite her lack of faith in Admiral Milius.
Meanwhile, Ben tries to send Bess Till (Mickey Sumner) to New Eden via the suspension carriage but instead, Audrey (Lena Hall) takes up the mission.
As Audrey finally reaches New Eden and is revived by Andre, she warns him about everything that's been happening on Snowpiercer.
