Infinity Train is an animated Science Fiction anthology series created by Regular Show storyboard artist Owen Dennis and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. Each season revolves around events on a mysterious, seemingly endless train in the middle of a vast wasteland on which troubled individuals suddenly awaken to find themselves as reluctant passengers. Now sporting a strange glowing number on their hand, these people have no choice but to make their way through the worlds and puzzles presented by each car in order to find a way home.

Anyone Can Die
 Infinity Train / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: And how. By the end of the season, two of the book's four poster characters are dead. Tuba is murdered halfway through, while Simon perishes in the final episode. Grace and Hazel don't die, but the former is victim to two murder attempts, while the latter's innocence is buried six feet under.

Arbitrary Skepticism: Tulip constantly questions the logic (or, rather, the lack thereof) of the train, despite having traveled through dozens of different worlds by the third episode, wondering why arbitrary actions like singing would have any effect on their progress.

 Infinity Train / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Featuring two outright villains as our protagonists, this is the darkest book so far. By the end of the season, all of the main quartet has suffered to some degree: Tuba and Simon are killed (one murdered by the other, the other graphically killed by a Ghom), Hazel has become thoroughly jaded and distrustful of the world, and Grace is a victim of attempted murder at the hands of her closest friend. While the other seasons still have their moments of levity towards the end, Book 3 abandons comedy entirely for its final two episodes.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Infinity Train / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: After Simon kills Tuba, he becomes much more aggressive, gets into Grace's personal bubble and is mad that she's "not the way she's supposed to be". Combined with Hazel wanting to be strong to protect her and Grace, he comes off as an abusive boyfriend/husband, not helping that Grace is keeping secrets from Simon out of fear. In "The Origami Car", Simon uses the nanobots that The Cat gave him to send Grace into her own tape against her will. He inserts himself into her memories, intentionally uses some particularly painful ones to break her will, ignores all her objections, and then just leaves her to rot when he gets what he wanted. The whole scene carries some horrifying parallels to assault, especially when Grace later wakes up, visibly disgusted and shaken by the whole affair.

Four-Philosophy Ensemble
 Infinity Train / int_1759ff85
comment
Averted in Book 3, which has a Four-Philosophy Ensemble of three human passengers (Grace, Simon, and Hazel) and an animal companion (Tuba) instead. Tuba then dies halfway through the season and gets replaced by a fourth human passenger, Amelia. Hazel is also revealed to not be human at all, meaning that the setup was actually two humans and two denizens, followed by three humans and one denizen.

Poor Communication Kills
 Infinity Train / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Much of the drama with Simon happens from either others telling him information or him misunderstanding what other people want. Most notably if Grace had told him not to kill Tuba period, or Simon had understood Tuba wasn't going to abandon Hazel like Samantha did him, much suffering could've been avoided. The Cat does this literally to Simon; had she not abandoned him or at least told him what the numbers meant, it wouldn't have caused him to become who he is today and lead to his death to the hands of a Ghom years later.

Androcles' Lion: At the beginning of Episode 10, after Grace admits her flaws and is free of her memory tape, she helps fix the denizens of the Origami Car that Simon stepped on and crumples. At the climax of episode 10, those same origami denizens are the reason Grace survives the season; Simon kicks Grace off the train to be wheeled the same way as Tuba, but Grace survives because the origami birds grab her and fly her back up to the train.

By the end of the season, Grace and Simon — best Childhood Friends, with implications of a romance — have become this. He leaves her trapped in her own memories, takes over the Apex, and tries to murder her when she returns, even after she saves his life. Simon then has a Cry Laughing breakdown and dies much to the despair of Grace.

All There in the Script: The names of some creatures and beings are never stated in the show, and can only be gleaned from the credits sequence unless a return appearance has that information vocalized.

Books 1 and 2 utilize this setup, starring a human passenger (Tulip and Jesse), a non-human entity who serves as a guide (One-One and Mirror Tulip (MT)), and an additional Loyal Animal Companion created by the train (Atticus and Alan Dracula). Book 4 foregoes the animal sidekick to use two human passengers (Ryn and Min-Gi) and an object denizen (Kez) instead.

Logic Bomb: Being forced to leave M.T. when she couldn't follow him through his door was so emotionally traumatizing to Jesse that he actually ended up back on the train. Because his problem is leaving M.T. behind, who can't have the number that she needs to leave because she's a denizen of the train, his new number can't even settle on a rational number instead of things like a square root or pi. Trying to figure out the issue drives One-One into such a loop that it even physically affects the train. Jesse even restarts the recursive loop when the One-One starts to agree with a suggestion that killing M.T. would resolve the issue.

Breaking Old Trends: Book 3 has several changes to the formula established by the first two: It's the first season to not have a Power Trio of main characters consisting of one human who needs to escape the train and two denizens who help them do so, instead being a Four-Temperament Ensemble. In addition, while said trios were very close True Companions by the end of their adventures, this is decidedly not the case for this season's main characters. It's also the first season not to have a character zero out their number and escape the train at the end.

 Infinity Train / int_3297cfbb
comment
Evolving Credits: Just like the previous season, the vanity plate changes every episode to fit the car in which Min-Gi and Ryan are in that moment. Their numbers also are visible and static, opposing to Books 1 and 2, and are low enough to be able to keep track of, opposing to Book 3. "The Train to Nowhere" also changes the credits' song to an instrumental version of the homonymous song. "The Twin Tapes", "The Iceberg Car" and "The Astro Queue Car" has Min-Gi and Ryan's numbers stuck at 202, their starting number. "The Old West Car" has their numbers decreased to 180. "The Pig Baby Car" has Ryan's number decreased to 172 and Min-Gi's number back to 202. Starting from "The Party Car" their numbers are down to 127 and they're also using their casual clothes as opposed to the previous episodes where they were using the jumpsuit provided by the train. "The Train to Nowhere" has their hands without any numbers on them, as they exited the train. Min-Gi also has his stylophone in his left hand and its stylus in his right hand. Ryan has his guitar pick in his right hand.

Psychopathic Manchild: Both Grace and Simon, who barely qualify as adults at age 18, are emotionally stunted childish adults with a infantile view of the world, a distrust of grownups and a habit of raiding cars and attacking the residents. Justified as they grew up without parents for 10 years and never finished 4th grade. Simon in particular has both a hatred of parental figures, yet also a hidden desire for one due to childhood trauma he never recovered from.

Reality Warper: The train is able to appear anywhere in the real world it needs to, generating the necessary space and train tracks to drive there, and even taking whatever form would best entice its target to inspect it. This ranges from appearing on top of a university building roof as a futuristic train to showing up inside a police station with its cars stylized as royal carriages. Sometimes, it doesn't even need to generate adequate space; in Book 4, it appears in the space between the two cars of another train.

Mutually Unequal Relation: Exploited.

Grace, who knows the children by name, acts like she has a special relationship with all of them, promising to cherish each item they bought her and store them in her special collection, while telling the child to keep it a secret from the other children that she's doing that. This is an act to make the children loyal to her, as once they leave, she discards them without a care.

Captain Obvious: Upon seeing the exterior of the train and a passenger getting vaporized, Tulip asks One-One what happened, with his reply being that she's in a bad place at the moment. Played with, as the "bad place" is Tulip's obviously troubled state of mind, not her physical location; it's later shown that the "vaporization" was the passenger lowering his number to zero and escaping the train.

Bittersweet Ending: On the positive side of things, the Apex has been more-or-less disbanded. Grace and the children are now working to figure out how to move forward and help each other get off the train, Grace's number has gone way down (from in the millions in the beginning of the season to only a few hundred by the end) and Grace herself now has a denizen partner in an origami bird. However, getting to that point forced Grace to deal with the death of a sapient denizen she was slowly growing attached to, being mercilessly rejected by a child she had grown to earnestly care for as an adoptive sister and will now never see again, almost getting killed by her best friend, and then watching said best friend die himself by literally crumbling into dust. And even if Grace fulfills her mission, she will forever live with the fact that everything she did was all her fault, and she will return home to a family who may have all but forgotten her and a world she must adapt to with little to no resources and education at the ready. To say nothing of how the children she's indoctrinated will adapt back into society themselves or the fear that their families may have forgotten about them too. No wonder the final shot is Grace giving them all a melancholic and uncertain smile.

Bait the Dog: The Book serves to flesh out and humanize the Apex more. Simon, in particular, has a number of sympathetic moments showing how he cares for Grace and the audience learns that he's been trapped on the train since he was 10. In "The Color Clock Car", he finally starts to warm up to Tuba, sharing a laugh with her and helping her through the car. The episode ends with Simon killing her by throwing her under the wheels of the train, obliviously talking about killing her adoptive mother to Hazel, and it's all downhill for the remainder of the season.

How big of a number does Amelia have? It's gone past her arm and up to her neck.

We Used to Be Friends: Simon and The Cat were close when the former first came to the train, as she was his denizen companion. But after she accidentally abandoned him when they were running from a Ghom and never came back to save him, he became extremely bitter and grew to resent not just her, but all the train's denizens. By the end of the season, Grace and Simon — best Childhood Friends, with implications of a romance — have become this. He leaves her trapped in her own memories, takes over the Apex, and tries to murder her when she returns, even after she saves his life. Simon then has a Cry Laughing breakdown and dies much to the despair of Grace.

Lotus-Eater Machine: Tulip's videotape full of false but happy memories was intended to be a gift to bring her everlasting happiness, with other such tapes existing. The train itself is arguably one for its native inhabitants as well, with every car serving its purpose with the intent of keeping its denizens placated. "The Engine" reveals dozens of passengers exist on the train simultaneously, but the infinite nature of the train means Tulip never met them.

One of the first unsettling sights that Tulip sees in the train dimension is a swirling vortex that absorbed a fellow passenger, making Tulip realize that she could possibly die on the train. The penultimate episode reveals that the vortex is a good thing, as it means you zeroed out your number and can finally return home.

Meta Twist: The protagonists of Books 2 and 3 were introduced in previous seasons in supporting roles, prior to becoming main characters themselves. Book 4 averts this, as neither of its two leads were featured any of the previous books. Also, this Book differs from the others by not having a single death or a Wham Episode by its final half, unless you count Amelia supposedly taking over the train in "The Castle Car".

Genius Loci: It's somewhat implied that the train itself has a will and intention of its own. Even with Amelia usurping One-One as Conductor, the train continues to do the exact same thing it was already doing when she took over despite her being singularly focused on recreating her old life. Furthermore, no matter what Amelia does, after years of trying, she can't recreate her fiancé and the train keeps putting her number up higher and higher in response to her falling further and further into her demons. One-One also explicitly refers to the train as his mother, and while he does have control over some of its functions, he can't change its purpose or affect the numbers directly. In Book 2, the train is shown to be able to seemingly exert a force upon M.T., Alan Dracula, and Mace that makes it physically impossible to move too far from the train itself, with Mace even saying that the train is doing it.

comment
Poor parental figures and caretakers. Grace alludes to her parents being inattentive, while Simon's parental figure on the train (the Cat) abandoned him to fend for himself. Hazel doesn't remember her parents, but we later learn that she is a failed clone of Alrick, with Amelia refusing to acknowledge her as a child, much less being anything akin to a daughter (but that doesn't stop her from taking Hazel with her). More broadly, Grace and Simon are the only source of guidance for the children of the Apex, and act more as manipulative cult leaders than caretakers until Grace's Heel–Face Turn changes all that. The only healthy parent-child relationship shown during the season is Tuba as a surrogate mother towards Hazel.

Death World: The train is surrounded by barren wastes stretching out to the horizon, which is populated by creatures like the cockroach-dog Ghoms that drain the life energy from their victims, and a vortex in the sky that occasionally shoots down beams of energy that absorb passengers. While the cockroach-dogs are definitely a health hazard, the vortex is actually a bait-and-switch, as it takes you back home. It is then revealed in "The Tape Car" that the death world may just be another part of the train.

Cult of Personality: As noted back in Book 2, the Apex is one formed around the previous Conductor, seeing One-One as a usurper. Instead of trying to reduce their numbers, they believe they must increase them by causing mischief on the various train cars. They also have a sound wave marked across the middle of their face, denoting the analogue hijacking noise she used to control the Steward. When Amelia finds about it, she laughs at how ridiculous it all is.

Lack of Empathy

Empathy. The book starts off with a musical number detailing the joys of understanding other people, and the rest of the season tackles Grace's and Simon's struggles to learn empathy for denizens of the train. By the end, Grace has learned this lesson, while Simon's Lack of Empathy for denizens only gets worse and quickly expands to Hazel and Grace, unable to understand why they're beginning to fear and distrust him following his murder of Tuba. Ironic, considering that "Le Chat Chalet Car" has him begging Grace to be emphatic towards his fears and trauma. More over, when you use dehumanizing words like "Null", then it means that you remove people's empathy for someone else; notably, Grace stops using that term and respectfully starts using "denizen" to prove that she's changing.

 Infinity Train / int_74911014
comment
Internal Deconstruction: Much of Book 2 examines exactly how the mechanisms of the trains work from the perspective of the denizens. The train's occupants each live rich and elaborate lives, but as far as the train itself is concerned, they exist entirely to help passengers. They either bond deeply with new friends only to lose them or experience extreme brutality at human hands.

Nostalgia Filter
 Infinity Train / int_75f626a5
comment
Tulip isn't the villain of book one, but she is a jerk sometimes. "The Cat Car" reveals that it's because her parents divorced, and she believed it was the moment they announced it that ruined her life. When Tulip actually rewatches what happens, along with other memories that had Nostalgia Filter over them, she has a Jerkass Realization: her parents were fighting for a long time, and they were as broken-up about the decision as she was. Yeah, they didn't handle it well, but they weren't intentionally trying to hurt their only daughter. She exits the tape sullen but wiser and determined to get home.

For Want of a Nail
 Infinity Train / int_79a60aec
comment
For Want Of A Nail: All over the place. For example a younger Grace in "The Origami Car" lied about how the numbers worked instead of admitting that she herself had no idea, leading to the gullible and emotionally vulnerable believing her fullheartedly eventually leading to the ideology of the Apex years later. Moreover, had the Cat either returned to Simon or at least imparted the knowledge on what the numbers meant, he wouldn't have become so attached to Grace and probably would've either left the train sooner or corrected Grace's "I'm a total expert on the train" bluff. The entire arc stems on the fact that of all cars Grace decided to enter (The Unfinished Car), it was just when Amelia used her pulse to send it to quarantine.

Unishment
 Infinity Train / int_7ac5c1de
comment
Unishment: The train has no punishment for its passengers acting rowdy. Whether they refuse to learn their lessons or are just outright malicious to the denizens or even other passengers, their only "punishment" is their number going up, which has no physical effects, it just delays their return to the real world. In fact, some passengers actually quite desire being on the train as opposed to going home to the lives that made them miserable in the first place.

Left Hanging: Thanks to the show ending sooner than the writers expected, the conclusions to overarching plot threads like the status of Hazel after she left with Amelia to be quarantined and if Amelia ever gets her exit are left in the air. We also never get to learn more about One prior to his changing, which presumably Amelia's storyline would have touched on, and in terms of world-building, many hints dropped about the nature of the train, surrounding world, and what the Ghoms' purpose are, are left hanging.

The Book One season finale has Tulip acknowledging that she feels sorry for Amelia, since she doesn't know what it's like to lose your husband young. Tulip also calls out Amelia for hurting Atticus and trying to Mind Rape Tulip, merely for the crime of protecting One-One from her. She says that Amelia has the capacity to change, but it has to be a choice rather than using your pain as an excuse to hurt others.

It's this realization that ultimately brings Tulip's number all the way down to 0 and opens her exit car containing the portal that will take her back home.

Eldritch Location: The train seemingly has no end, possesses creatures which defy logic, and the cars themselves have properties which don't fit their external design. The area around the train isn't much better. It's also implied on some level to be sapient with a will of its own separate from its conductor's, with Amelia being unable to recreate her old life no matter how many times she tried. The only normal thing about it is that, like all trains, it at least has an engine.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Infinity Train / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: A theme returning from the previous book. When Tuba is murdered by him, Simon shows no remorse for his actions, whereas Grace is furious when told and later saddened when forced to dwell on it. In addition, when Hazel is revealed to be a denizen herself, it spurs Grace to become more of a protective mother/older sister figure to her. Unfortunately, Grace degrading her to save her own skin a few episodes later makes Hazel feel that Grace doesn't care about her, and thus the turtle girl leaves with Amelia (who doesn't even recognize the girl as anything more than a failed experiment). The finale shows that Grace has fully grown as a person when she sees all the origami birds that Simon stomped on and does her best to heal them. In return, not only do they save her from death via train wheels, but one decides to be her denizen partner.

Foreshadowing: The Downer Beginning has a Tragedy Mask be the only survivor of the massacre by the Apex. Grace is the only protagonist left at the end of the season as the other main characters either died or left the group. Not to mention that the entire Book is nothing but a tragedy. Much of Hazel's seemingly random bits of trivia are direct references to Freeze Frame Bonuses from Book 1's "The Past Car" and thus hint towards her relation to those characters. Simon's experiences in "Le Chat Chalet Car" further fire his desire to kill Tuba in a misguided attempt to prevent Hazel from going through his trauma of being abandoned. Also in that car, he encounters a statue of a Ghom and briefly panics, thinking it's real. At the end of the season, a Ghom kills him.

 Infinity Train / int_9e08a5c2
comment
What Measure Is A Nonhuman: The running theme of the season. Denizens of the train are explicitly stated by One-One to exist solely to help passengers get their number down, regardless of the fact they are fully sentient beings that often develop motivations past that. Some don't try to fight it and are fully accepting of their role (the Reflection Police), others try to manipulate the system to find at least some personal gain and satisfaction (The Cat), and still others reject the system entirely and wish to escape (MT). Beyond that, members of The Apex refuse to acknowledge the sentience of these beings and view them as nothing more than fancy toys. In a meta context, it's precisely the fact that they aren't human which allowed for the violent deaths of Mace and Sieve.

Protagonist Journey to Villain: Downplayed with Simon, who was already a Villain Protagonist from the start, but like Grace, has some redeeming qualities and sympathetic traits shown during the first half of the season. But a combination of being reminded of his traumas and his paranoia getting the better of him leads him to double down on his pre-existing hangups and hurt Grace under the delusion that she was going to abandon him. The second half sees him undergoing more Sanity Slippage and becoming worse and worse, until he eventually takes up the mantle as the Big Bad of the season and tries to kill Grace, his Childhood Friend and then have a mentally breakdown shortly before being consumed by his lifetime trauma.

After HBO Max pulled Infinity Train and numerous other programs off its service in August 2022 with no warning to even the creators of said shows, Dennis would amend his Twitter bio to state that he fully approves piracy of the show.

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The Mirror Police's tenure as main villains is much different from the Conductor's. The Conductor was shrouded in mystery, only interacting directly with the protagonists towards the end; their goals and intentions were obtuse for the longest time and Tulip only represented a minor setback towards them; their actions effected the entire train and they answer to no one but themselves. In stark contrast, Mace and Sieve are recurring threats from the first episode of the season, their intentions are immediately clear with capturing MT being their explicit goal, they do their best to minimize interactions with other inhabitants and passengers whenever possible, and they're working on behalf of a greater organization.

Animate Inanimate Matter: Since the Train's denizens are all Hard Light projections, they can take pretty much any form even if it's biologically impossible. The denizens of the Crystal Car are all made of crystal, including the wildlife. One recurring character, Randall, is made entirely of water; it's implied that all the water on the Train is actually him. M.T. from Book 2 is apparently made of solid stainless steel, befitting her nature as a former reflection.

Double-Meaning Title: The name 'Cracked Reflection' applies to both MT and Jesse. MT is essentially "cracked" because she took a third option, breaking the rules of the Mirror World to enter the real world. Meanwhile, Jesse is figuratively a "cracked mirror" as he's a people pleaser who copies even the awful behaviors of his peers in order to better fit in and be more likeable.

Year Inside, Hour Outside
 Infinity Train / int_a62dca03
comment
Year Inside, Hour Outside: Discussed but ultimately averted, in contrast to many other works in this genre. Tulip mentions in "The Chrome Car" that she's been on the train for quite a while, but isn't sure what that means for the outside world. We later learn that time on the train and time back on Earth advance at the same rate, with it explicitly told and shown that Amelia arrived as a young adult in the mid-1980s and is now a middle-aged woman. When someone becomes a passenger, they are missing in the real world for as long a time as they stay on the train, even if that's years. Their friends and family do notice they're gone, passengers remember their time on the train, and physical changes like Tulip losing her reflection remain after they return.

It doesn't help Simon died crying thinking he'd permanently lost his Only Friend and that he was alone. Writer Lindsay Katai says Simon's death was written as a tragedy unlike the death of Mace and Sieve. Even In-Universe, Grace sobs over Simon's ashes.

He then uses his eye beams to finish off Sieve.

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse
 Infinity Train / int_ad17a1ac
comment
Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Tulip isn't the villain of book one, but she is a jerk sometimes. "The Cat Car" reveals that it's because her parents divorced, and she believed it was the moment they announced it that ruined her life. When Tulip actually rewatches what happens, along with other memories that had Nostalgia Filter over them, she has a Jerkass Realization: her parents were fighting for a long time, and they were as broken-up about the decision as she was. Yeah, they didn't handle it well, but they weren't intentionally trying to hurt their only daughter. She exits the tape sullen but wiser and determined to get home. The Book One season finale has Tulip acknowledging that she feels sorry for Amelia, since she doesn't know what it's like to lose your husband young. Tulip also calls out Amelia for hurting Atticus and trying to Mind Rape Tulip, merely for the crime of protecting One-One from her. She says that Amelia has the capacity to change, but it has to be a choice rather than using your pain as an excuse to hurt others. In Book 3, Simon becomes more and more unhinged, as his entire interpretation is brought to the ground, and Grace and him grow apart after Hazel and Tuba are introduced, that is not even to consider the fact that, to be on the train, it means he already has problems to begin with. As the season goes, Simon grows violent, manipulative, and insane as he denies all the revelations that happen. By the end of the season, he has gathered the highest number ever, even higher than Amelia, whose number went up to her neck, his covers his entire face and legs. When he confronts Grace in the season finale, she acknowledges how much pain he is in, but also says that it's not her fault, since he rejected every chance of redemption they were offered while she took it, and she doesn't owe him anything.

Coming of Age Story: In many ways, the show acts as a Deconstruction of adventure stories where kids travel to a magical world and overcome their problems, ala Labyrinth or The Pagemaster. The train defies the Year Inside, Hour Outside and All Just a Dream tropes that usually accompany these stories, the magical and quirky companions that become loyal friends to our heroes are created solely to be avenues for their character development, regardless of the lives they live outside of that, and refusing to accept any sort of growth means you're trapped for years, maybe even decades, until you do—assuming you don't die horribly first.

Metaphorically True: When Tulip asks what the number means on her hand, One-One states that she'll be gone forever if it goes down to zero. In the sense that the old self filled with trauma will be gone forever and she'll be reborn as a new person. It can also be interpreted to mean that Tulip would leave the train and never come back.

Five Stages of Grief: In a rare example where death isn't the cause, Tulip is stuck in Denial over her parents' divorce, trying to ignore everything to avoid facing the pain, occasionally slipping into Anger. By the end, she's moved on to Acceptance. Amelia was originally in Depression following her fiancé's death, but by the present is stuck in Bargaining and Anger, and due to her power over the train as Conductor, is extremely dangerous because of it. Thanks to Tulip, she's at least starting down the path to Acceptance.

Ontological Mystery: Tulip is stuck on the train with no idea what it is or how to leave. She also has a glowing number stuck on the palm of her hand that has no immediately discernible meaning. The number turns out to be representative of the issues that Tulip is refusing to deal with, and once she manages to overcome them, the number reaches zero and a door home opens.

Video Game Caring Potential: Potentially. The train seems to be running something alike to a "virtual world," but there seems to be a "supernatural"/realistic/real life component to the denizens, and the extent is further questioned by what it means to project a world - for example, the mirror world possibly being a parallel world.

Power Trio
 Infinity Train / int_ca85e684
comment
It's the first season to not have a Power Trio of main characters consisting of one human who needs to escape the train and two denizens who help them do so, instead being a Four-Temperament Ensemble. In addition, while said trios were very close True Companions by the end of their adventures, this is decidedly not the case for this season's main characters.

Lighter and Softer: This season was intentionally written to have a more relaxed and lighthearted tone in comparison to all the prior books, as the writers wanted something that was easygoing after finishing Book 3. As such, there are fewer dramatic moments throughout and a good amount of comedy even in the final episodes. Specifically, there's no Wham Episode featuring a character death or transmogrification, the final confrontation of the season ends in a comedic Anti-Climax, and none of the characters are threatened by Ghoms or any other wasteland threats.

Book 2 takes place in early Summer 2020, while the season aired in January 2020. Averted with Books 3 and 4. The former both takes place and aired during Summer 2020, while the latter takes place in the 1980s.

Moment of Weakness
 Infinity Train / int_d5359ecb
comment
Moment of Weakness: Throughout Season 3, Grace becomes a sister figure to Hazel. While at first Grace was manipulating Hazel with kindness, she starts genuinely caring about her. After Simon wheeled Tuba (Hazel's companion and adoptive mother figure), Grace learns that Hazel is a denizen who she and Simon view as inferior to passengers, but she keeps it a secret from Simon to protect Hazel. In a pivotal moment in the episode "The Hey Ho Whoa Car", when Hazel starts stressing out and transforms into her turtle self in front of everyone, Grace acts surprised so Simon would not know that she know Hazel's secret. When Simon suggests that they leave Hazel with Amelia, when Hazel asks Grace if she'll really leave her, to save face in front of Simon, Grace angrily says she will and calls Hazel a Null, breaking Hazel's heart. Grace is immediately horrified by her backslide, but does not apologize to Hazel with Simon there. In the next episode, Grace thinks on it and decides that she wants to protect Hazel even knowing what she is and what her mere presence does to the cars. But the damage was done and the bond of trust Hazel had with Grace is gone. Hazel rejects coming with Grace, choosing to leave with Amelia despite Grace begging to come with her. Hazel just sadly says goodbye to Grace, leaving her heartbroken.

When Tulip comes dangerously close to crossing the Despair Event Horizon at the start of "The Past Car", her number starts to go back up because she's slipping back into the habits that led to her being unable to deal with her trauma. This turns out to be foreshadowing for "The Engine", where it's revealed that Amelia's own number has been increasing the whole time she was acting as the Conductor, and it's now so long it extends off her arm and onto her neck.

Call-Forward: The magnetic boots that the Steward can activate to lock a passenger in place seem to have eventually been disovered by the Apex during Amelia's reign on the train and repurposed into wall-walking footwear. The Denizens' personhood is touched upon again. Morgan was largely attached to Jeremy because she has resentment issues from feeling abandoned by passengers that only use her to get their numbers down before leaving forever. Jeremy was her longest passenger, and so far the only one that actually looked after her instead of just demanding assistance.

Honesty Aesop: Grace realizes that her lies and bluff that she totally knows the rules of the Train all those years ago led to numerous children being brainwashed to hurt people and being separated from their families just for her amusement and ultimately ended with Tuba dead, Hazel's innocence destroyed and Simon dead. All because she couldn't suck up her pride. Lesson learned: if you don't know anything, never give people false hope by being a Know-Nothing Know-It-All or else they may be completely convinced that that truth is the only truth and you'll have to see everything you created be turned to ash in a heartbeat.

Exact Words: When Tulip asks the significance of the number, One-One states that if it hits zero, she's "gone forever", making Tulip think she's going to die. He meant gone forever from the train. He never said she was going to die. On a slightly lesser note, when Tulip asked One-One in the previous episode what happened to the vaporized passenger, his reply is that she's "in a bad place right now." He meant her mental state, not her physical location. Her mental state, of course, being an important factor in getting off the train.

Children Raise You: ZigZagged.

Only for Simon to continue indulging in his old behavior and become even worse, while Grace continually chooses to save face in front of Simon over outright protecting Hazel. The poor girl ultimately abandons the duo, realizing neither are capable of providing the care and protection she needs. Only after overcoming her problems on her own does Grace truly thrive as a caretaker.

comment
Bilingual Animal: The series has multiple examples. Most prominently Atticus in Book 1, a dog who can speak eloquent human language, but also sings a ballad in one episode that consists entirely of howling.

Guilt by Association Gag
 Infinity Train / int_ff892c21
comment
Guilt by Association Gag: Ryan and Min-Gi had nothing to do with the inciting incidents that had many characters throughout the season angry at Kez, and point out as much on several occasions. Each time, they aren't believed or are explicitly told that it doesn't matter, and that they'll share the punishment anyway since they insist on being friends with her.

Once a Season
 Infinity Train / int_ff9e9dde
comment
Once a Season: Each book has one episode that doesn't follow the naming format of "The _ Car" and is instead just "The _". The exceptions to this are Book 3 with "Le Chat Chalet Car" (although when translated from French it still counts, it also still ends with "Car"), and Book 4 with two episodes - "The Twin Tapes" and "The Train to Nowhere".
