History Recap / InfinityTrainS1E6TheUnfinishedCar

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Aloysius mentions soft-shelled turtles along with hard-shelled turtles.

* NoodleIncident: Tulip, Atticus and One-One apparently spent a while in the spa car.

[[caption-width-right:350:Alternate episode title? "The Gravity-Turtle-College Car"]]

* NewhartPhonecall: There's a running gag of a business looking turtle holding his half of a conversation on a cell phone complaining about the disruptions to the car.

Fully refreshed from a trip to the spa car, Tulip, One-One, and Atticus find themselves entering a new train car that is in a disorganized state. While Tulip is adamant about no longer caring about her number, focusing instead of figuring out what the gimmick of this new location is, One-One has become strangely fixated on the nature of the car, calling it "broken". Before Tulip can inquire as to what One-One means by this, they are greeted by the leader of this car: a talking turtle named Aloysius III, whom as a fellow royal, Atticus is immediately overjoyed to encounter. The two happily begin talking about their respective cultures while Tulip finds herself worrying about One-One's strange behavior, questioning why they continue to call this car "broken" when they've seen many more fantastical worlds. By the time they reach the door to the next car, between One-One's fussing and Atticus' desire to continue his conversation with Aloysius, Tulip allows the group to stay longer so they can get everything out of their system. Concerned about One-One, she decides to help the robot "fix" everything they claim is broken.

After helping mop up a pool of grape jelly, Tulip learns that the turtle inhabitants of the car have long since gotten used to its many peculiarities and make daily use of them; as such, they become confused by the changes and begin berating Tulip for her actions. Realizing that nothing was truly broken, Tulip starts apologizing for the mistake, only for a storm to start brewing. This prompts her to look for Atticus and One-One, with the former alerting her that the latter is the cause of the storm and is at its epicenter, removing all the control orbs that are keeping the car stable. Tulip manages to make her way to the robot and asks them why they're doing this, only for an unusually serious and morose One-One to claim that they're helping and that all the problems that the car has are their fault.

Connecting this to her own feelings about her parents' divorce, Tulip explains to them that whatever they believes is their fault is most likely out of their control and isn't their responsibility to fix, but that she's here to help them regardless. One-One ceases their actions in response to Tulip's words, stopping the storm and apologizing for the mess that they caused. Atticus offers the assistance of his people in rebuilding the kingdom, which Aloysius accepts. The trio leave for the next car, briefly stopping when One-One seemingly undergoes a soft-reboot after passing the threshold, causing them to reintroduce themselves to a confused Tulip. They continue moving forward, with One-One back to behaving like their normal self, as the camera focuses on an odd panel near the door.

* CreepyMonotone: One-One lapses into this [[VoiceOfTheLegion with both voices at the same time]] as they become obsessed with fixing the car. Tulip even tells them that the voice is scaring her.

* ItsAllMyFault: One-One feels responsible for the state of the car (although they don't know why) and feels compelled to "fix" it.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: One-One's unusual determination to try and "fix" the unfinished car is so different from normal that Tulip is eventually disturbed. This is particularly noticeable when the robot's two personalities speak in unison, something they've ''never'' done before.

* CreepyMonotone: One-One lapses into this as they become obsessed with fixing the car. Tulip even tells them that the voice is scaring her.

** One-One going crazy 'fixing' the car doesn't make any sense until the finale when you learn that he's the ''true'' Conductor.
** The very aspects of the car -- the jelly, the college building, the turtles -- become this after "The Past Car".

!!Tropes in this episode:
* AnAesop: Just because it looks broken doesn't mean it is. Don't inflict your idea of "fixing" people's lives on others.

* CreepyMonotone: One-One lapses into this as he becomes obsessed with fixing the car. Tulip even tells him that the voice is scaring her.

* ItsAllMyFault: One-One feels responsible for the state of the car (although he doesn't know why) and feels compelled to "fix" it.

Tulip, One-One, and Atticus visit a car where everything is unfinished, and One-One is compelled to fix everything.

* {{Expy}}: In-universe, the unfinished car has a turtle king whose opening speech mirrors the one Atticus gave Tulip. As Tulip notes, the car seems to be a mish-mash of other concepts.
* GravityScrew: Gravity in the unfinished car randomly changes based on how the scenery is arranged. When One-One starts messing with the environment orbs, it gets progressively worse, eventually causing gravity to start sucking everyone toward the ceiling.
