What the hell??!? 200 88

ok, so I am stuck in traffic ion the way home crawling 5 miles in about 45 minutes. I noticed that my car wouldn't stop, or atleast was making funny movements. It turns out that the front wheels and the rear divers side will stop and even lock when they should. but the rear passengers side doesn't stop and because it is snowy and slick out, spins and spins until I practically stomp on it.. I could use the emergency brake to almost control that wheel but it still sent the car drifting sideways going only 3-4 mph.

what could this be? Thr tire still has good trend on it, the caliper, pad and rotors are only about 6 months old. I noticed that if I shifted into N, AW70, the engine would race up to about 2100 rpm before settling at 1200. Could the kick-down cable I have been meaning the replace be the culperate?

Could my car just be on crack?

dear god, please don't let it be the differential thingy.
