Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Holden and crew realize they’re not alone on the Rocinante and find themselves up against a Martian military blockade. Believing all is lost, Miller finds a new reason to forge ahead. Avasarala visits Holden’s family in Montana.
Our Take
A tense hour that finally puts Holden’s crew in a corner they can’t charm their way out of, and the standoff with the Martians delivers some genuine sweat. Miller’s storyline keeps simmering nicely while Avasarala’s Montana detour adds unexpected texture. Not the season’s peak, but the pacing holds and the stakes feel real. Worth your time if you’re already this far in.
