LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Trouble keeps mounting for Andre Layton (Daveed Diggs), the protagonist of AMC's 'Snowpiercer',  as he faces new rivals and escalating challenges.

After his daughter, Liana, was mysteriously kidnapped in a previous episode, Andre Layton quickly assumed she had been taken to Snowpiercer.

He then embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue his daughter by targeting New Eden's powerhouse, Big Alice.

In Episode 4 of 'Snowpiercer' Season 4, Andre Layton's Big Alice finally catches up with Snowpiercer.

Admiral Anton Milius (Clark Gregg) establishes communication with Andre. He asserts that he doesn't have his daughter while further inviting him over to clear the misunderstanding.

Josie Wellstead (Katie McGuinness) and Andre suspect it might be a trap, so they devise a clever plan to enter Snowpiercer. Once aboard, they begin their search for Liana.

Meanwhile, in New Eden, the residents struggle with a new issue affecting their power supply. As they deal with this problem, another crisis arises when Oz (Sam Otto) discovers a severed hand in the hills.

Sensing the presence of an enemy, Sam Roche (Mike O'Malley) decides to accompany Oz to the hills to investigate the matter and mysteriously gets lost.

Meanwhile, Javi (Roberto Urbina) deduces that the severed hand belongs to one of Snowpiercer's passengers.

Back on Snowpiercer, Josie is caught and brought to the engine where Milius proposes a deal- Liana in exchange for Big Alice.

In the next episode, Andre will also learn about Milius's ruthless deal that will put him in a dilemma. Will he choose his daughter and risk everyone's life at New Eden or will he sacrifice his daughter for the greater good?

We also expect to get some information on the whereabouts of Liana while the antagonist from previous seasons, Joseph Wilford (Sean Bean) will likely return.

The synopsis for 'Snowpiercer' Episode 5 reads, "Layton hears the deal: Liana for Big Alice; he agrees and the trains dock at the silo; while Layton, Ben, Till, Ruth, and Alex stew in a holding room, Josie is taken to Headwood; Milius introduces his partner in crime: Wilford."
