Okay, now I get it

Warning: Spoilers
When I originally reviewed this episode in 2021, I found it confusing. I wrote: //It's possible I've missed something ... but (BIG SPOILER) if the man who "died in the fire" actually faked his own death, then where did the human remains at the scene of the fire come from?//

Having seen it again, I can only say, "Man, am I dumb." Because the answer is very clear (here comes another big spoiler). Judson Warner, the guy who supposedly disappeared with all that cash, is the dead body on the train, the one mistaken for Burt Payne.

With that cleared up in my foggy brain, I can appreciate the episode for its surprising plot twist at the end, and for the unusually intense battles between Perry and Ham Burger. Though I'm a bit skeptical that ol' Burt could dream up, much less pull off, such a complex scheme.
