This is easily the best episode so far. We see how Jesse rejects the group and doesn't bow down to them, he doesn't conform. Acknowledging and overcoming his biggest problem. The apex act like savages and are uncivilised not valuing anything that isn't human they become more like the monsters themselves. Their ideology is interesting as well with their bad experiences and potential psychological/emotional problems making their defiant behaviour understandable.

Yet Lake (our mc) knew something wasn't right from the jump. Which shows how good her intuition is despite the fact that she also shares the same defiant attitude they do but in a different way. She yearns for freedom while the apex look down on the outside and are supposedly trying to save people. Our mc is treated like nothing because she doesn't have a number. Less than. When Jesse chooses her over the apex she feels loved and valuable. Unfortunately for her the leader of the apex leads the police to her and because Jesse overcame his problem he was now allowed to leave the train. Leaving her alone and seemingly forever trapped. The sight of freedom and an important connection lay before her but now they're gone. All that remains are people who are trying to tear those things away from her. Taking everything that's important away from her and forcing her to live out and unfulfilling existence. Them and Alan Dracula a deer that carries interesting symbolism, brings some lighthearted comedic moments to the show and is also important for the characters.
