After witnessing someone getting taken out of another of the train's cars into a tube of light from the sky, Tulip tries to escape the train; on the ground outside the train she encounters dog/cockroach monsters that attack her.

A large tentacled shadow appears on the horizon and the nearby lake floods the land. Atticus tells Tulip and One-One the shadow is a monster that has been terrorizing Corginia and causing the flooding for some time and they need to stop it. Together the group travel across the landscape in the car until they find that the "monster" is just a spider being lit up by a small glowing ball; Tulip's number does not change. However, they encounter the Steward, a tentacled robot that is affecting the landscape, and thereby causing the flooding, by accessing panels in the train and removing glowing balls from them. The Steward attacks the group, but flees upon seeing One-One. Atticus decides to join the group as Tulip's number finally goes down to 101.

Tulip builds a ladder to the door out of crystals, only to find it locked.

One-One's reflection contacts the reflection police (Ben Mendelsohn and Bradley Whitford), who want to capture Mirror Tulip and grind her into dust for trying to escape.

Tulip, the Cat, and One-One venture into its contents and explore the memory of two students named Alrick and Amelia. They grew up and married, but tragedy struck when Alrick died. Amelia fled and discovered the train. The Cat helps Tulip figure out that the Conductor is Amelia, who has overthrown the real conductor, and that the cannons on the train can be used to help Atticus. Tulip's number reaches 0, and a portal opens by which she can escape the train and go home.

A fight ensues as Tulip takes one of the cannons and unleashes Atticus on the Steward while One-One runs to the front of the Engine. Avoiding Amelia, Tulip finds an orb designed to create a corgi, places it in the cannon, and successfully fires it at Atticus, changing him back. Meanwhile, One-One takes his place at the front as the real Conductor, and he and Atticus destroy the Steward. Tulip speaks with the elderly Amelia, whose number is so long it runs from her hand all the way up her arm and across her body, and persuades her to try to move on from Alrick's death. One-One creates a new exit for Tulip, and she bids goodbye to her friends. Seven months later, Tulip heads to camp, having made peace with her parents' divorce.

When she visits a Black Market Car full of strange alien creatures, one of the creatures examines her with a glass eye; the Flecs jump through the reflection and chase her through the streets. She manages to evade them by escaping into the next car, which resembles an autumn forest, and hides behind a deer who changes color to camouflage her.

The families despise one another, but are forced to share the tree because of a marriage between younger members of the two families. MT wants to climb down the tree to look for Alan while Jesse wants to make peace between the families, creating conflict between Jesse and MT. They realize that the more they argue, the more the tree grows around them and turns Jesse into wood. When they begin to compliment one another and cooperate, the tree leaves them alone, and they reach the bottom.

MT and Jesse enter a car resembling a map, where they are greeted by Marcel (Wayne Knight), a drawing personifying the wind. He has them put together a paper map so the car's world can expand. MT halfheartedly helps Jesse by having him discover something emotional about himself, but his number goes up to 33. Eventually, talking about his school swim team, Jesse discusses how he always allows his teammates to overrule his own desires; his number goes down to 31. They realize Marcel is trying to keep them in the car, and Jesse discovers he can alter the map on his own: though the map is permanently missing a piece, Jesse draws an exit on a piece of paper and puts it in the empty space, resulting in the world becoming full-color and Marcel dissipating.

However, if they get a combined score of 1000 points, she will allow both MT and Jesse to leave. They play against a mysterious masked gamer, and find that Jesse scores more points than MT for the same accomplishments, since as a passenger he ostensibly has a greater need to get off the train. Jesse tells MT that he does not want to leave without her, and his number goes down to 4. They are distracted by Alan's fascination with a claw crane game, and lose to the mysterious gamer, a passenger named Grace.

Their headquarters is the ransacked Mall Car. Grace takes Jesse under her wing and they visit the next car; Apex members take Alan to be "stabled", and MT stays in the Mall Car to look for him. Grace tells Jesse that they consider MT a "null": not a real person, because she doesn't have a number. They convince him to act destructively, which causes his number to slowly rise. MT rescues Alan from the rest of Apex, who decide to throw them off the train. Jesse arrives in time to rescue her, but Grace unleashes the Flecs on them. Jesse's number goes down to 0 and the portal back home opens. However, MT cannot enter it and Jesse is forcibly sucked back home, leaving MT distraught and cornered.

Though MT tries to walk away from the train with Alan and Mace, they are unable to travel beyond a limited distance from it. Still living, Mace begins to mock MT as they are chased by the dog-roach monsters. He tells MT she was never meant to have a life of her own; denizens of the train have the sole purpose of helping passengers like Tulip and Jesse. MT decides to take one of the passenger pods up to the front of the train so that she can demand a number of her own. She manages to get herself and Alan back to the train, and crushes Mace under the train wheels. MT and Alan wait on top of the train car for a passenger pod to show up.

Upon entering it, MT discovers that passengers, having been made unconscious after being brought on the train, are placed in a gelatinous substance where they are monitored and have their memories copied onto videotapes that rate their flaws and issues. They are then dropped down to a room where a laser uses the information from the tape to inscribe a number onto their hand. MT puts her hand in the path of the laser in order to receive a number, but the beam just goes through her body. Angry and frustrated, she begins to destroy the room's service robots and prepares to do the same to the laser, only to be stopped by One-One, piloting the Steward robot.

MT wakes Jesse up and One-One puts a new number onto his hand, but it instead becomes ever-changing mathematical symbols. Jesse's need to rescue MT is incompatible with the Train's normal operating procedure, which forbids denizens of the cars from leaving, causing One-One to get stuck in a logical loop. Sieve appears, intent on getting his revenge on MT. She realizes that her metallic skin can reflect Jesse's number onto her own hand; this creates a loophole that allows both to leave the train. Alan blows up Sieve when he tries to stop them. Back home, Jesse introduces MT to Nate; after looking at her new surroundings, MT decides to name herself Lake.

They run out of butter, and Kez explains that she was expelled from this car earlier after microwaving a lot of butter. They scrape butter from the microwave and make perfect brownies.

Suddenly, the aliens from the Iceberg Car, Judge Morpho, Pig Baby, Ms. Cow, and the Bouncer arrive, seeking revenge on the three. A chase ensues, but the pursuers' efforts interfere with each other, enabling the group to reach the castle. The Bouncer attempts to block Ryan and Min-Gi from the castle, but they are able to get past him by using the same trick they had earlier: telling him they're the band for the venue.

As they look for a way to escape, Min-Gi reads Jeremy's diary. The last entry records that at some point, Kez said something to him that freaked him out, and he decided to talk to her at breakfast. The boys confront Kez, and she reveals that, before getting on the train, Jeremy was in a car crash that killed his mother and sister. When she convinced him that it wasn't his fault, his number went to 0, and he left.
