Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Marines are captured by Silicates after crash landing in the Cerus System, and are jailed until McQueen and Cooper can rig a radio to call the Saratoga.
Our Take
The second half of this two-parter leans harder into the Silicate prison camp material and mostly pays off, giving Hawkes and McQueen room to carry the hour while the rest of the 58th waits around. The AI villains land as genuinely unsettling rather than cheesy, and the pacing rarely sags. A strong, grim hour that rewards sticking with the storyline.
