What Is Slide?
Miren cannot stop thinking about what James Foster told her and decides to pursue him, for she needs answers to the assault she went through. Miren was never able to locate her rapists, and had haunted her ever since. James informs her of the website Slide to which David and his son uploaded the videos, and of how on that website, he’d seen the video of her being raped. Miren realizes she must find the video to know the faces of the men she was assaulted by and that she will also have to make sure the culprits are caught. James offers to give her the names of the people who visit the website regularly, but for that to happen, he expects remuneration in return from Miren. Miren says she will think about the offer. She is not financially secure enough to pay him a handsome amount.
In a conversation with Eduardo, he conveys that Slide is a despicable website that is visited by monsters and is backed by financially strong people, so Miren won’t be able to touch or harm any of them. Even if she tries to do so, there will be consequences for her actions. Eduardo cares for Miren because he knows the pain she went through, but to save her the trouble, he offers to help. But Miren wants to face her rapists on her own, and this is a crusade she will have to fight alone. She gives away all the money she had to James for the piece of information, and in return, James starts clicking polaroid pictures of her for the sake of proof. Miren is visibly disturbed by the man James Foster is and cannot fathom that she made a deal with a man as heinous as him. All Miren wanted was some answers about who the rapists were, so she could want to confront them and ideally want them behind bars.

Final Thoughts
The 4th episode of The Snow Girl” meandered a little bit until the climax of the show, which did not end the way it was expected to close. By that, I mean the climax of the show was interesting and ended on a cliffhanger so that people continue watching the show without getting bored. Hype created by the writers Jesús Mesas Silva and Javier Andrés Roig, finally pays off because the The Snow Girl” Episode 4 is highly engaging and interesting, which helps in taking the storytelling forward instead of getting stagnated.
