OK episode if you don't mind using ZERO brain power

Warning: Spoilers
So many things in this episode that make ZERO sense. No logic whatsoever. Just really lazy writing. Basically the whole episode has zero logic. Here are just a few.

The story tries to make it seem like it's totally normal and not creepy at all for an adult man to just take a random 8 year old girl on a train. If her guardian/wrangler was missing, he would have found someone else from the play that knows the little girl and let them take care of her. Instead the man just takes it upon himself to take this girl away, put her on a train and bring her home. As if no one will be worried about her? Weird and super creepy.

While in the middle of a massive city, there are literally zero people inside a grocery store except one cashier. What? Then while pushing a train of shopping carts through the snow, there are also zero people, zero traffic, zero anything. Just one guy in a car stuck on a tree. What?

Doorman in the brother's apartment lobby just decided to sit there for 2 months and freeze to death? Never got up once? I must be missing something. No logic.

8 year old girl finds out while in an apartment with 2 strange men that there is a life threatening flu going around and not once does she get emotional or want to find her parents. What?

It almost feels like whoever wrote this was not an actual human. Very strange story. I give it 3 stars because of how absolutely bizarre the story-writing is. It actually makes me want to keep watching to see if it'll somehow make sense in the next episode.
