Barreling our way into the fourth episode of TNT's Snowpiercer, could Layton (Daveed Diggs) and Till's (Mickey Sumner) investigation be coming to a close much sooner than (at least we) expected? We head into "Without Their Maker" after an episode that gave us a lot to process. Melanie's (Jennifer Connelly) "fight night" resulted in way more action outside of the ring, actually throwing more gasoline on an already-nicely-burning dumpster fire of tension and fear. Layton and Till's visit to see Nikki (Madeleine Arthur) leads the pair as well as Melanie to the truth about the black market drug Kronole: it's a street version of the drug Dr. Klimpt (Happy Anderson) uses to keep people in stasis (one that the good doctor's peddling in) and was the subject of the victim's black market investigation. Layton gets some intel on the first-class passenger who was with the victim before the murder from Terence (Shaun Toub), the head of the black market. So with all of that, it seems natural to assume we're getting close to our answers, right? Except there's one problem: Layton's search for answers is getting him a little too close to Melanie's secrets, and we can't see a way they can coexist. Not when there's a rebellion brewing:
