Melanie’s opinion of Wilford and Ruth’s opinion seem to vary wildly, and I’m not quite sure who to believe.
If he figured out a running train could keep people from freezing to death, surely he can’t be quite as thick as Melanie suggested.
Melanie, of course, has kept the train running for seven years, and Ruth…
Still, Ruth seems to believe that Wilford was this brilliant man with a vision, and Melanie tried her best this episode to express how untrue that was.
