Anna awoke on the floor of Car 11, disoriented and unsure how she got there. Dante Wentworth was kneeling beside her and said he had found her lying in the corridor. Although Anna insisted the lights had blinked and gone out, Dante said the lights had stayed on the entire time and suggested she had fainted. Exhausted and hungry, Anna admitted she had not eaten in about twenty hours. Dante mentioned he had returned to the galley earlier to retrieve the remainder of his sandwich and took it back to his room after everyone had gathered in the observation car.

Overwhelmed by grief and isolation, Anna confessed she missed her brother Tommy and her parents, reflecting on how her life had narrowed since their deaths and how her pursuit of vengeance had cost her happiness and connection. Dante comforted her, and the moment stirred memories of their teenage relationship. They leaned toward a kiss, but Seamus Callahan appeared in the corridor, looking shaken, and interrupted them.

Seamus asked what was happening. Anna explained she had been looking for Seamus and had recently stitched up Agent Reginald Davis, who had been stabbed by Judd Dodge in the galley. Dante and Seamus questioned the timing as Anna estimated the stabbing had occurred about thirty minutes earlier, though she was unsure due to fatigue and stress.

Seamus doubted the timeline and took Anna and Dante through Cars 12 and 13 to Room B—Edith Gerhardt’s compartment. Inside the small bathroom, they found Judd Dodge’s body crammed into the space, revealing that Judd was dead. This discovery directly contradicted Anna’s belief that Judd had recently attacked Reggie and threw her assumptions about the sequence of events into doubt.
