History Recap / InfinityTrainVoyageOfWisteriaMemoryLane

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Serena delivers one to Chloe to stop her from trying to board the train.

** This entire chapter does this for Grace's backstory, particularly how she ''knew'' about how denizens were reincarnated passengers and makes everything she did as the leader of the Apex look hypocritical, especially the comment she makes in ''Orange Lily'' in that it doesn't matter if she hurts denizens cause they "aren't human".

** Once the audience is made aware of the [=UnSub=]'s [[StartOfDarkness history]] and [[BlueAndOrangeMorality motivations]], the SerialKiller is shown having a quiet moment to convince himself that [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans his actions, while regrettable,]] ''[[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans will]]'' [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans allow everyone on the Train to live their "best lives."]] In particular, he recalls his friend Horace, the first soul he had ever "saved." Obviously, that first murder occurred long before the [=UnSub=] developed [[YourSoulIsMine his methods]] for ''controlling'' where a soul will go after death, but still, Ogami is convinced that ''whatever'' happened to Horace, he must be far better off than he was in [[IllBoy his first life]]. His soul is somewhere on the Train, free to spread its wings, help people, and live its best life! As it turns out, "Horace" ''did'' end up helping people in his new life as Tomas, the Denizen in charge of the Signal Car- until, as a ''direct consequence'' of Ogami's plan, he is [[LiteralMetaphor chained up]] while his work is misused and Mad Ben forces him to use his talents for the warlord's ''own'' needs.

** Guide-Grace believes that her parents don't love her. It was shown in "The Hazbin Car" that they suffered for eight years trying to figure out what happened to their daughter, regretted their neglectfulness, and are sobbing wrecks upon learning that she's dead.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Grace's beliefs get a bit more dimension here, as it's shown that she witnessed another passenger die early on in her adventure due to a moment of weakness, and suffered a traumatic event that made her instinctively associate the gold tornadoes with death and refuse to ''seriously'' consider denizens as anything other than [=NPCs=]. That said, she admits that they're ''explanations'' to everything she inflicted onto everyone, passenger and denizen, for the next decade, not excuses. Not that this stops Amelia from trying to call her out on it.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: The gist of Tomas' assessment of the White Gestalt's attempt to override his Infinet for their scheme.

** After all the encounters with Pokémon trainers, Grace was defeated by the sole girl who ''didn't'' want to be defined by those creatures and got everything that ''Grace herself'' wanted.

* BelatedBackstory: This chapter focuses on the first few days of the life of Grace Monroe on the Train, explaining most of her solipsistic world-views and "Survival" mentality.

** Chloe is finally informed about how Ogami wants her soul and what the true purpose of the metal butterdlies actually is.

** Lexi was told to sit out the literal trip down memory lane so his anger and spite against Grace wouldn't cause him to try call her out over stuff people already know about. Once inside memory lane, this happens anyway... By ''Amelia'', who was all about pragmatism and keeping the idea on the backburner to focus on more important things.

** The Wisteria group learn how Mark Kessler developed his immortality...and how to end it once and for all.

* StartOfDarkness: We witness Mark Kessler's first kill, and the beginnings of the Unsub.

* TheReveal: There's a ''lot'' in this chapter.

* InternalReveal: Goh reveals Grace's new form to her former crewmates, who are now Romsca and Tomas.

In which everything you once knew about Grace Monroe is flipped on its head.

* DramaticIrony: Guide-Grace thinks that her parents don't love her or would even care to hear from her...just as it cuts to her funeral service and her parents are sobbing wrecks.

* SpannerInTheWorks: By selling the metal butterfly in her bag, Grace avoids being a pawn in Ogami's schemes and becomes Warbler the Music Note.

* AndThenWhat: This chapter has Amelia finally confess that the reason she didn't diamantle or destroy the Apex was so she could focus on what they did wrong, and not what ''she'' did wrong. With the group disbanded, she's left with no choice but to take a deep, hard look at herself.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Grace managed to avoid becoming Ogami's pawn by selling the metal butterly out of desperation to have ''something'' to eat.

* CerebusRetcon: This chapter makes Amelia's previous desire to keep the Apex alive in a darker light, as rather than because she's worried for them, it's because without them around Amelia would have no way to avoid having to confront her issues.
