Andre Layton (played by Daveed Diggs) utilizes his new role as "train detective" to investigate the grisly murder of Sean Wise, a third-class passenger. He teams up with Bess Till ( Mickey Sumner ) and uncovers evidence of torture and potential cannibalism.
Overall, "The Protein Lab" is a strong second episode that builds on the foundations established in the first episode. It sets up some interesting conflicts and plot developments, and raises important questions about the nature of power and privilege.
