What Melanies Snow Sample Means For Snowpiercer Season 2

Warning: SPOILERS for Snowpiercer season 2, episode 1, “The Time of Two Engines”.

In Snowpiercer season 2’s premiere, Melanie Cavill (Jennifer Connelly) took a sample of snow outside the Great Ark Train, and this sets up a mystery that could possibly change the future of the frozen Earth. Picking up from Snowpiercer season 1’s cliffhanger, Mr. Wilford (Sean Bean) turned out to be alive and in control of his own supply train, Big Alice, 40-cars long. Wilford attached Big Alice to Snowpiercer’s tail and forced the 994-car-long train to a full stop; Melanie donned an environmental suit to go outside and manually detach her train before the billionaire Messiah could take control of Snowpiercer.

One of Snowpiercer season 1’s biggest shockers revealed that Melanie, who was Head of Hospitality, was actually running the train all along. Cavill stole Snowpiercer and left Mr. Wilford behind to die in Chicago seven years prior, but she found it was easier to maintain Wilford’s “perfect order” by pretending he was sequestered in the Eternal Engine and controlling the train in Wilford’s name. Ultimately, Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs) from the Tail Section led a revolution to demolish Wilford’s cruel class system and install a democratic government on the train. In order to fight off a simultaneous coup by First Class, Cavill and Layton joined forces to banish the wealthy insurgents from the train. Melanie then ceded control of Snowpiercer to Layton but just when their precarious new government was in its inception, Wilford emerged from the cold aboard Big Alice and changed the course of Snowpiercer’s future.

While Melanie was outside trying to manually override Big Alice’s link to Snowpiercer, she landed on her back in the frozen snow and witnessed an impossible sight: a snowflake fell and landed on her helmet’s face shield. Cavill brushed off the idea that she was seeing things and she quickly took a snow sample in a vial before she boarded Big Alice as the 134-car-long combined super train began to get back underway, thanks to Layton and his people managing to fulfill Wilford’s demand for fresh food. Of course, Cavill is Mr. Wilford’s number one enemy and she received an expectedly chilly reception from her former boss, as well as from Melanie’s estranged 15-year-old daughter Alexandra (Rowan Blanchard), who Wilford saved and raised when Melanie was forced to leave her behind. Meanwhile, Melanie was forced to leave her snow sample behind in her environmental suit after she showered and changed clothes when she came aboard Big Alice.

Alex discovered Melanie’s vial of snow and interrogated her mother about what it was. Melanie claimed that there was fresh snow on the ground, but that’s physically impossible; after the Freeze happened years ago, the planet became too cold for meteorological phenomena like snow or rain as there is no moisture in the air. Alex believes the “snow” her mother saw was just what was already on the ground blown around by the wind. The younger Cavill left angrily when she realized her mother was lying to her about why she took a snow sample, but Melanie had to keep her cards close because she doesn’t trust Mr. Wilford (or Alex yet) with what she may have discovered.

If Melanie is right that there is real snow falling from the sky, the inference is literally world-changing: It means that it’s possible that the Earth may be starting to become warmer. Snowpiercer’s global Freeze happened when scientists launched chemicals into the atmosphere to combat climate change, but it had the opposite effect and sent the Earth into a deep freeze that killed everything and everyone except for the 3000 souls aboard Snowpiercer (and Big Alice). But if Melanie’s discovery proves to be correct, then there’s a chance that the Earth could gradually begin to support life again, although it could take an untold amount of time. However, a reversal of the Freeze changes everything and creates a possible new future for everyone in Snowpiercer – if they don’t kill each other in a war between Layton and Mr. Wilford first.
