The Mall Car is a train car that first appears in the episode "The Mall Car." This car was seemingly once a mall on the Infinity Train, but it was taken over by The Apex and now serves as their headquarters.

Overview[]

The entire car is filled with debris, strange stores and covered in Apex graffiti and other propaganda such as flags depicting the crest of the Apex.

Most members of the Apex live inside shops on the first floor, repurposing their interior to be homes or to serve functions for the Apex. Only the leaders of the Apex with the highest Numbers live on the 2nd floor rooms.

Notable locations[]

Hallway[]

The Hallway of the Mall where all the store entrances connect. It is used as a meeting room for the Apex. Two flanking escalators going down are used by the Apex's leaders when they go down. The two rulers often go down together whilst their subordinates watch, possibly part of an Apex ceremony.

Clothing Store[]

On the 2nd floor is a clothing store, the Apex's leader Grace Monroe has turned it into her personal quarters. Even turning the dressing room into a throne room where she sits on a makeshift throne flanked by two mannequins. In her spare time, Grace tries on clothes, dances, exercises and poses in front of the many mirrors within the store.

Hobby shop[]

Directly across from the clothing store is a hobby shop full of model kits, figurines, dioramas, cards, board games and comic books. The Apex's co-leader and Grace's best friend since childhood, Simon lives in the Hobby shop. For Simon's recreation, he assembles the model kits, plays the games and organizes the dioramas within the shop.

Trivia[]

  • Several vandalized stores in the background, including Old Gravy, Sierra's, Soggy Donuts, and Dagan Häas are a reference to the real life stores and food brands, Old NavySearsDunkin' Donuts, and Häagen-Dazs respectively.
  • Grace's flashback reveal she and Simon moved to the Mall Car at age 10, meaning they've lived in the car for eight years. This is the longest known time any passenger has spent in a car.
    • One of these memories shows the two camping in a tent within the sports store.
  • A Mall Car was part of the original pitch for Infinity Train, where it would have been the sixth episode of the initial 10-episode run. In this unmade episode, One-One was replaced by a cowbird's egg (a parasitic bird) while the group was exploring an endless mall full of potato people coming out of a mannequin's chest. The concept was scrapped as it had little to do with Tulip's emotional journey and was replaced by "The Unfinished Car."
  • Only Season 3's protagonists, Grace and Simon, have their home interiors shown to the audience.
  • The Mall Car does not appear to have a discernible goal or puzzle for a character to solve in order to unlock the door. For that reason it is one of the few cars depicted in the series that could be considered to exist independent of the passengers' journeys: it is simply a potential environment they can pass through without having to necessarily do anything special.
  • It is unknown what happened to the Mall Car after the events of Book 3. It is possible that it is presumably abandoned.
