Suzanne pleads with Ruth that she is just a little girl and asks if she can be punished instead given that she allowed her to help in the uprising. Ruth is appreciative that someone finally took the blame, and accepts. Shortly after, Suzanne's arm is clamped and placed outside of Snowpiercer via a hole in the hull; it instantly freezes and when brought back inside, shattered.

Suzanne is later recovering under Josie's care when another message from Astrid arrives. Though Josie claims that Suzanne's infection seems to be getting better, Suzanne doesn't seem to believe her.[3]
