Holden and his allies must stop Ashford and his team from destroying the Ring, and perhaps all of humanity.

As survivors arrive to the Behemoth, two factions form over how to handle a life-or-death threat. Holden grapples with what he's seen and the choices he must make.

It was about Holden?

Well, it's not about her.

And they will save lives.

You didn't drive me away.

I left a lot of people behind,

They're linking in to the transmitter array now.

Faluta! What's the problem?

- Would that work, ke? - It won't matter.

Anybody who has had a child understands

Get back to work.

And no one will answer your questions.

Is what she's saying true?

Does anyone else wish to debate with me?

Take what you need and head out.

Felota!

Yeah...

Thank you. You're welcome.

And I thought you come to check on me.

And I'll walk you down there.

Drummer and Ashford find themselves trapped with few options for survival. Anna tends to the wounded masses as Melba continues to hunt down her prey. The Rocinante crew struggles to survive as Naomi reunites with her true family.

Come get me if anything changes.

Where are you?

First thing first.

Forward kills me, backward kills you.

Still at least a day out, if the new speed holds.

What are you talking about?

Yeah, well, the fear never change.

I'm waking up on a rockhopper bound for Ida.

Yours or Dawes?

'Ey, you brought it up.

but I will sacrifice my pride...

Where's the woman with the broken arm?

The only thing that you can do is beg for mercy.

My head hurts.

Drummer!

And you got what you want.

Are you back?

The only reason I'm standing here

Where's Holden?

Holden sees past, present, and future. A ghost from Melba's past threatens her mission. Bobbie struggles to trust an old friend as she leads a group into uncharted territory.

You look preoccupied.

I don't want to be responsible for making it worse.

You got atmosphere too.

She couldn't feel any more pain, but you could.

I thought I'd do this until I could keep my temper...

You did what you meant. You put it in everyone's head.

The Rocinante seeks a new game plan as they attempt to avoid capture. Melba's true motives are revealed. Naomi is torn between identity and ideal. Anna seeks a way to stay aboard the Thomas Prince.

That ain't natural.

It wasn't me, it wasn't you, and it wasn't Alex.

Something else is coming through.

I'm telling you, I don't know what I did.

I stayed for the hazard pay.

An old friend taunts Holden with the answers he seeks. Naomi struggles to fit in. A mysterious low-level tech aboard the Thomas Prince enacts a terrifying plan.

You were a radical, and then you were betrayed.

The final battle between Earth and Mars threatens the very future of humanity. A new monster is unleashed on Prospero Station. Anna receives the smoking gun she needs.

The launcher is reloading.

They'll kill thousands.

Maybe we can avoid spending the rest of our lives

I can buy us even more time.

Clear.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Calm down, okay?

Oh, god damnit, I got some of it on me.

But you knew they had orders to fire on the crowd.
