LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Snowpiercer' Season 4 is meddling into multiple mysteries all at once. Admiral Anton Milius (Clark Gregg) hijacking Melanie Cavill's (Jennifer Connelly) train leads us to new conspiracies and battles. Meanwhile, things aren't smooth at New Eden either.

Apart from regular challenges related to food, weather and power, Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) now has to deal with a rival who has kidnapped his daughter. Amid all this chaos, something suspicious is going around Alex Cavill (Rowan Blanchard) this season.

Alex has been doing her own research this season. In the first episode, she approached Boki to release her bird with an intention to collect some data. We also saw her nose bleeding that she immediately wiped off. This nosebleed incident wasn't an isolated one as we witness it again in Episode 3.

Previously, Alex opened up to Andre Layton about the frequent earthquakes and shifts in weather pattern. So far, her research hasn't indicated anything substantial, which makes Alex eager to dig deeper.

In Episode 3, Alex discovers her bird dead, but strangely, there’s no blood inside it, raising her concerns. Determined to find answers, she joins Andre on his journey as he departs to chase Snowpiercer.

Alex hopes to uncover more about the mysterious weather changes by exploring new geographical terrains.

What could Alex's nosebleed possibly mean in 'Snowpiercer' Season 4?

As of now, Alex's nosebleed could mean two things. It may be just a health issue due to high altitude. But then, others should have also been suffering from it.

Another theory is that the Earth's temperature might be shifting, but whether this change is for better or worse remains uncertain.

However, the bird's death from blood loss raises serious concerns about humanity's future. Could this indicate a tragic end to habitation in New Eden? We'll have to wait a little longer to find that out.
