Episode Summary & Review
Summary
As tensions on Ilus reach a boiling point, Holden reveals a secret. Avasarala debates Nancy Gao while an emergency on the Roci forces Alex and Naomi into action.
Our Take
A tense, mostly grounded hour that splits its focus well. The Avasarala-Gao debate is the highlight, giving Chrisjen some of her best material this season, while the Roci emergency moves fast but feels a bit routine. The Ilus standoff simmers nicely without boiling over, which is the right call for pacing. Solid, if not spectacular. Worth your time.
