## Summary

While escaping from Blue Blood's forces from the previous episode, the conductor stops the train at Coal Town to restock on coal. The crew decides to capitalize on this and stock up on some snacks. They go into a candy shop owned by one of Spinkle's less reputable cousins. After stealing some gingerbread people, Verona animates one and she reveals that the gingerbread transmutes people into gingerbread when ingested. The owner of the store then pulls out a gun to try and force the crew to eat the gingerbread. William tries to wrestle the gun away from him, but the insanity enhanced strength of the candy vendor proves to be more than a match for his hatred of the elderly. Verona is able to shoot the gun out of his hand, while also shooting him in the head.

After this, they get some coal from a coal farmer. He gives them it because William lied and said that he never killed anyone nor let people die before. The coal was cursed or something, and so the spirits of the dead coalesced around the train while it was being loaded up on coal by Ragnar. These included Atom, Marrow, and Helios. The train morphed into a centipede like monstrosity and the crew decided to attack it. Verona expressed his regret at not helping Atom face Marrow and shot the train. Duros did a goading attack, William manifested some pineapples from his body, Ragnar made a devastating attack, and Jimmy was able to finish the train off. After all of this, the train reverted to normal and the conductor fell from it, seemingly having been assimilated by the train.

In Episode 53, it was revealed that this was all part of Jimmy's dream.
