==Plot==
SPOILERS AHEAD
Layton is deteriorating quickly following his suspension within the drawers. He has began having vivid nightmares about Nikki Genet. Mrs. Audrey is seen crying over a photograph of Nikki, wherein she explains that things must change aboard Snowpiercer. 
Roche is seen eating his dinner whilst being mocked by LJ, who questions him about his wife. When Roche tells LJ that anything she says in the cell is admissible in court, she remarks that she is innocent and therefore has nothing to hide. Lilah and Philip enter, followed by Melanie, who announces that LJ will stand trial for murder — Mr. Wilford will be following closely. Lilah tells Melanie that she is hindering their reputation in First by holding LJ; regardless, Melanie explains that she is just following train policy. 
In the tail, Suzanne is rapidly deteriorating whilst being tended to by Josie. Josie is interrupted when she receives a message that she is wanted for another meeting uptrain with Astrid.
Meanwhile, Bess receives an access chip during the process of upgrading her from Third to Second class; Jinju is reminded that she is responsible for Bess’ conduct during her probationary period. The two sign the paperwork and Bess is welcomed to Second. The two later kiss and whilst Bess announces that she isn’t exactly certain about the upgrade, she is certain about her feelings towards Jinju.
The Folgers are discussing the tribunal whilst LJ plays video games nearby. Robert reassures Lilah that the tribunal are ticketed passengers and therefore know the Folgers — they will vote with them.LJ, however, is not sure and asks what her father thinks it is like in the drawers. LJ asks if she can play and despite Lilah’s reluctance, Robert allows her to take out his fake eye and play with it. Lilah becomes fed-up of LJ’s antics and demands she behave. Lilah tells LJ that she will tell the tribunal that Erik forced her, but LJ makes it clear that she wasn’t forced.
As dinner is wrapping up in First, another meal is brought to the table of Rajiv Sharma from Clay, a Nightcar worker disguised as a waiter. When the meal is opened, it is revealed to be human waste and roaches; Clay remarks that it is a gift from the Nightcar, and Ruth exclaims that Melanie be alerted at once. Melanie arrives at the Nightcar and questions Audrey about the stunt. Audrey remarks that Third have a right to challenge the tribunal and want a representative from Third to be a part of the decision. Melanie mocks the Nightcar’s stance as “Switzerland”, questioning why they are getting involved; nonetheless, Audrey demands that the tribunal be reselected and reveals that Third touches all aspects of the train and will be heard if Melanie doesn’t cooperate.
Melanie questions Henry about the investigation into the side effects of suspension on Nikki. Henry reveals that the side-effects are more than likely due to bringing the criminals out of suspension too quickly, and in the future, they should be brought out slower. Melanie re enforces the idea that with 400 drawers — and the possibility of 400 sleepers some day — they cannot afford to have any mistakes when people come around. Jinju questions Melanie about the tribunal, and she reveals that she is considering the idea.
At the front of the train, Bennett tells Melanie that a Thirdie on the tribunal will not be popular in First and Second. Javier exclaims the fact that the Folgers have a large influence within First and could cause a lot of issues should Melanie grant the request. With this, Melanie asks to speak with Bennett in private. The two retire to her room where they begin to make out before having sex. Afterwards, the two discuss life aboard Snowpiercer, with Bennett remarking that he misses the sound of rain. 
Melanie announces that the petition from Third has been accepted and a new tribunal has been drawn up — one representative from each class. Edith Gusterfeld from First; Mary Elizabeth Gillies from Second; and Walter Flemming from Third. 
During sanitation duties, Josie talks with Astrid, who reveals that Layton is not at the front of the train. Astrid reveals that she has secured Josie a meeting with Terence, the head Janitor, and that the two will swap places whilst she meets with him. Josie promises that she will be back before the next break, and Astrid directs her to the market. 
In the Hospitality lounge, Melanie welcomes Walter Flemming, thanking him for his service. Edith and Mary begin talking with Walter immediately despite their class differences whilst Ruth watches in disgust from afar. Ruth expresses concern that the rules cannot just be changed at will, citing that it will upset the order aboard Snowpiercer.
As the delegates from the Nightcar are readied to go uptrain, Oz gives them a sarcastic talk about things unfamiliar to them that they may see: hygiene and self respect. Meanwhile, Lilah makes it clear to Robert that there is an idea about LJ travelling up train and those in First may well support it. 
Layton continues to dream whilst in the drawers, and he reminisces about the times in which cannibalism existed within the Tail — a long thought myth created to scare children. 
Josie arrives at the market as instructed by Astrid. She arrives to speak with Terence and tells him that the Tail believes he has been suspended in the drawers. Terence questions why he would be put into the drawer if he solved the murder and that maybe he annoyed Wilford. Terence reveals that they will take a trip to the drawers the same day given the security is small due to the trial. 
Meanwhile in First, Robert and other members of First discuss the current events transpiring with Commander Grey. Robert suggests that matters surrounding jurisprudence and punishment would better be handled downtrain — Commander Grey becomes interested in the conversation when Robert suggests that Cavill be the first to go. Unbeknownst to Robert and the others, one of the members of the meeting is a Wilford Informant and relays the pending revolution to Melanie; she seems concerned that she is losing her grasp on Snowpiercer’s control. 
Prior to the trial, Robert, Lilah and LJ embrace. As the trial commences — led by Ruth — the whole ordeal is broadcast through the announcement system. Roche explains the findings in LJ’s cabin, whilst the doctor explains that Sean Wise was alive when he was castrated by Erik and LJ. The audience is captivated when Audrey gives a speech about Nikki and the lives of Third. 
Terence and Josie arrive at medical where Josie begins looking for a list to indicate which drawer Layton is in. Terence leaves after stealing the medication, however, advising Josie not to get caught. 
As the trial returns from recess, Melanie warns Lilah about conspiring behind closed doors. Lilah returns the warning, however, remarking that she will do whatever it takes to protect her daughter no matter the cost. LJ takes the stand and explains that she loved Erik, but was manipulated by him. In a shocking turn, LJ announces to the entire train that Sean Wise was a Wilford Informant. She later remarks that if the train pardons her, she promises to do her bit for her. Ruth calls recess whilst the tribunal deliberate. In her office, Melanie and Jinju talk about LJ’s reveal. The two theorise that Sean found out the drawers were experimental and leaked the “list”. Melanie sends a message to the front of the train that causes quite some distress. 
Meanwhile, Josie looks through the drawers for Layton, and is shocked to find numerous children have been suspended. Eventually, Josie finds Layton. After pulling out some of the wires from Layton’s drawer he begins to convulse uncontrollably. Oz and Bess notice that the door to medical has been forced and enter to investigate. They open the drawer containing Layton and find Josie inside. Oz freaks out and begins to beat her before he is incapacitated by Bess. 
As the tribunal returns from the verdict, it is announced that LJ has been found guilty by unanimous decision. As the crowd cheers, Melanie looks startled. Bennett sends back the note and when it reaches Ruth, she announces that Mr. Wilford has commuted LJ’s sentence due to her young age; the crowd begins to riot uncontrollably as Melanie exits. 
Bess helps Josie take Layton to Zarah, and Josie begs Zarah to keep him hidden and safe. Zarah asks how Josie escaped the Tail, but Josie doesn’t answer, simply remarking that the Tail is trusting Zarah. Layton later begins experiencing similar side effects of Kronole withdrawal that Nikki did.

== Quotes ==
== Trivia ==
*The episode title is a line by Miss Audrey in the opening dialogue, which relates to how later in the episode LJ is not punished even she was found guilty.
*This episode shows that there is still a considerable amount of mutual respect and good will among the three numbered classes aboard Snowpiercer, at least on an individual basis, to the point that the jurors veredict is unanimous and openly so.
*Despite the fact that LJ is found guilty by the tribunal, Melanie Cavill commutes her sentence in order to silence her. 
*It is revealed that LJ is aware of the experimental phase of Snowpiercer's suspension.
*Snowpiercer is travelling across the Amazon Forest during this episode.
*The exchange between Miss Audrey and Melanie Cavill revealed Mr. Wilford wanted to make the Nightcar a brothel, but Audrey asked Cavll to make it a higher purpose. The higher purpose is a Isolation Chamber, that Miss Audrey offers therapy for passengers.
* Melanie and Bennett are confirmed to be in a intimate relationship.
* Snowpiercer is formally called "Eternal Engine" at the trial, more than likely as a measure for keeping morale up. Previous episodes, particularly Prepare to Brace, make it very clear that the self-reliance of the train has limits and may in fact be collapsing already.
**This is almost certainly a result of Melanie loosing her control over the train and the order she once held dear.
* According to Miss Audrey, it has been seven years and almost 19 revolutions since she boarded in Chicago.
* The Drawers are part of the Second Class cars.
