Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) and Mei/Fong (Angela Zhou) will be escorting a precious cargo through the California wilderness in the upcoming episode of AMC's "Hell on Wheels."

In "Hungry Ghosts," Cartermatt reports that the two will undertake the dangerous journey in the hostile environment to properly lay Tao's (Tzi Ma) body to rest. Viewers were shocked to see Fong cradling her father's wounded and dead body at the end of the previous episode. Chang (Byron Mann) ordered the hit, enlisting the services of a white man to kill Cullen's known ally.

Will the incident push Cullen and Fong closer to each other? After her father's death, the former confederate soldier is the only one left who knows her secret. This gives them a certain bond, which can be the foundation of some romance later on. Cullen's attraction towards the Chinese girl became evident last episode. Fong decided to not pay attention to it, considering his wife and child. But now that she is at her breaking point, can the viewers expect a major shift in her frame of mind?

Meanwhile, Eva (Robin McLeavy) will nurse Louise (Jennifer Ferrin) back to health. Last episode, she saved the pregnant woman's life. Louise was having a hard time getting away from Campbell (Jake Weber), the father of her unborn child. Eva was there at the crucial time and she aided her to escape.

The website, however, posits that Eva has an ulterior motive in saving Louise. The older woman certainly gives the idea that she does not care about anything other than her beloved brothel. She needs to survive; and to do that, she must continue with her nefarious business. It is also a big bonus that she is earning a lot of cash at the same time. What can she get out of helping Louise?

"Hell on Wheels" airs Saturday at 9 p.m. EST on AMC.
