History

When Melanie Cavill carried out her coup against Wilford, she abandoned him at boarding, leaving Wilford no other alternative than retrofitting Big Alice to survive, also gathering around 200 people left behind by Snowpiercer. Alexandra Cavill was with her grandparents and was meant to arrive at Snowpiercer during boarding but did not arrive.

Alexandra Cavill got Big Alice's engine to low idle and managed to hunker down in a shed for a couple of months. By the time Snowpiercer was on the other side of the world, out of satellite view, Big Alice was outfitted. Big Alice finally departed with Wilford, Alexandra, Sykes, Emilia, Kevin McMahon and 200 others.

Memorable Quotes

Melanie: "How'd you do it? Come on. How'd you drop in on us in Chicago like that? I know you're dying to tell me."

Wilford: "Yeah! Finally. I love a good swashbuckler, don't you? You've probably figured some of it. I got Alice to low idle, managed to hunker down in her shed for a couple of months. By the time you were on the other side of the world, out of satellite view, we were outfitted."
