Mr. Wilford is a terrifying sci-fi villain. When he’s first introduced in season two of
Snowpiercer, his cruelty is obvious but it also feels a little one-note. He’s almost too broadly Bad, more of a symbol for capitalism at its worst than a real character. In “Our Answer For Everything” though, the extent of Wilford’s evil is not only on full display, but it feels more specific, sharper, instantly more disturbing.

Alex jokingly refers to Audrey as Wilford’s paramour, leading him to snap at her. Wilford sees Audrey as much more than that and also.much less. He doesn’t see her as a real person with autonomy so much as someone who exists to pleasure him. The episode’s title brilliantly contains the emotional turmoil of Audrey’s situation.
