Snowpiercer gets back on track with Melanie's return

As a dedicated fan of “Snowpiercer,” I must say that the recent episode, “A Moth to a Flame,” was a much-needed breath of fresh air, quite literally! After what felt like an eternity without our beloved Melanie Cavill on screen, her return in this episode has given the story the push it needed. The pacing seemed stunted for a while there, but with Melanie back at the compound, we are finally making progress toward heating up the world again.


In the game of “A Moth to a Flame,” after a five-episode hiatus, Melanie Cavill makes her comeback! This return sparks the narrative back into action again. After some episodes with slow-moving plots, having Melanie rejoin the compound is like flipping a switch – it’s time for our story to transition from the underground labs and military stations towards warming up the world once more.

In the course of the story, Layton is able to meet up with his long-lost daughter again, something that has been driving him all season. Similarly, Alex and Melanie reconnect after being separated for several months. This provides an opportunity for them to discuss their recent scientific discoveries as well as the current situation regarding Ben.

In other words, the movie “Snowpiercer” begins to wrap up its main storylines as it approaches the last three episodes. The main antagonist of season four, Admiral Milius, met an unexpected and somewhat underwhelming end at the close of an episode that revealed some insights into his past and how he gained control. However, it wasn’t just Admiral Milius who met their demise. Other characters also bit the dust.

Following prolonged power battles, secret partnerships, and deceptions, Mr. Wilford meets his end in a decisive encounter with Layton. In this fateful moment, not only does Mr. Wilford choose to depart on his own terms, but he also imparts crucial information to Layton – knowledge that could bring about the world’s demise which is imminent, and reveals how the ongoing events are directly linked to Earth’s freezing years ago.

Ultimately, it is a tale of arrogance, self-importance, and the unwillingness to acknowledge the truth. The final season of Snowpiercer introduces its main antagonist by disclosing that the subservient scientist Nima was not merely the one who froze the Earth a decade earlier, but his faulty scientific calculations would also lead to the Earth’s demise for a second time.

Nima’s role as the primary antagonist in the season brings his contrasting ideas with Melanie and Alex’s research findings into a substantial query regarding the fate of Earth, especially if Nima disregards Melanie when she warns him that his proposed plans will exacerbate the situation.

Given the ending of “A Moth to a Flame,” with Layton, Josie, and Liana now isolated from the rest of Snowpiercer, prioritizing informing those in need about Layton’s findings might not be immediate, especially since Layton must focus on surviving the harsh cold conditions ahead.

There’s still a possibility that Alex might solve the mystery. With Melanie out of commission again due to Nima causing her to faint for several days at least, it may fall upon Alex to halt Nima, provided that Alex manages to reconnect with Layton, Melanie, or Ruth in the meantime.

In Snowpiercer, events unfold in a manner that leaves Ruth, Till, and Javi hanging on tenterhooks, as the closing scenes depict an explosion happening close to where Javi was stationed. Although viewers are left guessing about whether the blast really affected anyone, it did cause Ruth and Till to hesitate before proceeding towards New Eden.

As just three episodes remain, the tension is building rapidly in “A Moth to a Flame”, making things increasingly intense for the characters and our planet. It’s crucial that “Snowpiercer” maintains this pace as it approaches its ending.
