* DramaticIrony: Everything that Grace and Simon say about the train: like how the Conductor is a god, how he is amazing with that big number of his and that he was the one who built the train, One-One is evil, etc. The audience knows at this point that 1) the Conductor's a "she", 2) she's no god, she's a widow in mourning who refused to grow up and replaced the true Conductor One-One, 3) Amelia only built a few cars (one of them Grace and Simon just destroyed two episodes ago), 4) One-One's sense of morality is skewed as they force passengers on the train to help overcome their problems and only see the denizens as therapists.
