opening of the front of the train echos the first panel in episode one, but this time we're in the dark forest, wondering how Aria will handle the scream...she moves through the cars, picking up speed with each panel (her coat flys higher with each one), ending with her kicking open the last door and we see her "eyeing" something in the last car of the train, that something is a lizard robot leftover from the war that's still on the hunt...the science flips and we see the robot at the other end of the car who threatens her and all aboard, some humor in Aria preparing for battle by choosing rock/metal music on her phone, the robot rushes her, she jumps, and steam (pipes breaking?) fills the room...quickly we see her slashing the robot (like the purple emphasis), and then see the aftermath of pieces of the robot as she walks away...Timothy calls and asks her to disconnect the last car as they lost main power...there is a green light encashed in a gold lantern which foreshadows hope?), she does, and in a dramatic move the black and gold couplings separate, and we get a feel of distance in leaving the car behind and entering a new desert region, wondering, what will happen next...great job building suspense, defeating the villain, and suggesting that there are more issues with the train to come, and a new region to explore...well done
