Cleaning themselves off of jelly beans with the help of her Swiss army knife, Tulip, One-One, and Atticus enter the next train car, which turns out to be a world of reflective chrome. The group has some brief fun sliding around in this mirrored land, but discover that the door is locked upon trying to exit. As Tulip is about to reminisce about a previous puzzle door, she looks down and discovers that her reflection is now sentient. Her reflection states that the only way to exit is for them to switch places, which Tulip agrees to do. However, just as they open the door, the reflection admits that she has absolutely no plans on switching back; she's lived her entire life just mirroring Tulip's existence and has grown to loathe it, now wishing to experience life on her own terms, right down to rejecting the name "Tulip".

Tulip asks One-One and Atticus's mirror versions for help in returning to her world, with the former assuring her that he has already called "reflection enforcement" to handle the issue. With Tulip's reflection now deemed a "sliver", the officers plan to not only capture her but also kill her if she refuses to serve her original purpose, to Tulip's shock. Tulip goes off to look for her reflection while One-One and Atticus stall the enforcers. Finding her back at the car's entrance, Tulip once again asks to switch back, but the reflection still refuses and tries to leave, only to learn that she's unable to exit the car since there are no mirrored surfaces outside.

Tulip tries to comfort her now-morose reflection, only for her mirror double to call her a hypocrite and point out how often Tulip has rejected help from friends and family. Tulip admits the truth of this but points out that gives her even more credence, stating that she has a plan that can allow them to both exist in the real world if they switchback. Tulip's mirror self agrees to switch back and, while the duo runs to the exit and from the reflection enforcement officers that are in close pursuit, Tulip uses the mirror in her Swiss army knife to give Mirror Tulip her own personal reflection that she can use to enter the real world. Tulip, Mirror Tulip, One-One, and Atticus all exit the car, escaping the police. In the next car, the reflection thanks Tulip for her help and advises her that she's in control of her own life, saying she should stop stressing about the number. Parting ways, Tulip removes the glove that she's been wearing to hide the number since "[[Recap/InfinityTrainS1E5TheCatsCar The Cat's Car]]" and discovers that it has gone all the way down to 3.

* CloseCallHaircut: Mirror Tulip has her hair shaved short by one of the officer's grinders just before Tulip yanks her into the real world.

Cleaning themselves off of jelly beans with the help of a Swiss army knife, Tulip, One-One, and Atticus enter the next train car, which turns out to be a world of reflective chrome. The group has some brief fun sliding around in this mirrored land, but discover that the door is locked upon trying to exit, meaning that there is some sort of puzzle to solve. As Tulip is about to reminisce about a previous puzzle door, she looks down and discovers that her reflection is glaring at her. This car has granted all reflections sentience, and her reflection states that the only way to exit is for them to switch places, which Tulip agrees to. However, just as they open the door, the reflection admits that she has absolutely no plans on switching back; she's lived her entire life just mirroring Tulip's existence and has grown to loathe it, now wishing to experience life on her own terms, right down to rejecting the name "Tulip".

Tulip asks Mirror One-One and Mirror Atticus for help in returning to her world, with the former assuring her that he has already called "reflection enforcement" to handle the issue. With Tulip's reflection now deemed a "sliver", the officers plan to not only capture her for breaking the barrier between worlds, but also kill her if she refuses to serve her original purpose of reflecting Tulip's existence, much to Tulip's horror. Tulip goes off to look for her reflection while One-One and Atticus stall the enforcers. Once she reaches her reflection back at the car's entrance, Tulip once again asks to switch back, but the reflection still refuses and tries to leave, only to find that she's unable to exit the car since there are no mirrored surfaces outside.

Tulip tries to comfort and offer help to her now-morose reflection, only for her mirror double to call her a hypocrite, pointing out how often Tulip has rejected help from friends and family. Tulip admits the truth of this, but points out that's exactly why she's offering help now, stating that she has a plan that can allow them to both exist in the real world. The duo switches back and, while running from the reflection enforcement officers that are in close pursuit, Tulip uses the mirror in her Swiss army knife to give her mirror version her own reflection that she can use to enter the real world. Tulip, Mirror Tulip, One-One, and Atticus all exit the car, escaping the police. In the next car, Tulip breaks off the mirror from her Swiss army knife so it can remain stuck to Mirror Tulip, allowing her to continue existing with ease, for which the reflection thanks her.

Tulip calls for the group to continue moving, but the reflection reiterates that she wants to live her own existence now, additionally telling Tulip that she's in control of her own life and should stop worrying about what the train thinks. As they part ways, Tulip decides to tell that to heart and removes the glove that she's been wearing to hide the number since "The Cat's Car", discovering that it has gone all the way down to 3.

Tulip, One-One, and Atticus enter a car filled with mirrors, where Tulip's reflection comes to life.
