In the course of the series, Andrew's optimism starts to rub more and more on them, and start reflecting on her past, the first time when meeting the little daughter of the woman she mutilated (said mother having volunteered to protect her daughter Ruth originally wanted to punish). In the end of the series, she joined Andrew's colony in East Africa.

* LingeringSocialTensions: In the second season the train is ostensibly united after the various factions all came together to repel a brutal counter-revolution, but there's still a lot of bad blood. Namely, the Tailies are still bitter about the years of oppression they faced at Melanie Cavill's hands, and First Class being not at all happy about their loss of privileges over the Tailies. Further complicating things is that all the passengers now know that the train's owner, Mr. Wilford, who many of them view as a PhysicalGod, was cast off the train before it departed, and that Melanie Cavill has been impersonating him for years.

In the middle it's revealed that, far from being the gulag Layton suspects, it's a way for the best and brightest to survive if something happens to the train. After this, it's almost ever mentioned briefly that everyone in them was reawakened after the rebel victory over the Jackboots, but no-one from the Drawers is ever seen or heard from.

* ThePeterPrinciple: The end of series 3 lays out quite clearly that Snowpiercer has three choices for leadership, all of him are deficient in some way; Melanie, whose ForTheGreaterGood tendencies cause her to overlook the human element of the train; Layton, who's a very effective fighter and general that can never look past being a Taillie; and Wilford, a selfish, megalomaniacal tyrant with a god complex. Melanie even refers to them as the original sinners, as it's always the decisions one or other of them makes that end up leading Snowpiercer to disaster.
