Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Miller, Holden and his crew struggle to escape Eros, but they’re trapped when the entire station is put on lockdown. On Earth, Avasarala comes to a stunning realization about the origin of the mystery ships.
Our Take
This is a tense, claustrophobic hour that finally starts paying off the season’s slow build. The Eros lockdown stuff works best, with Miller and Holden getting pushed into an alliance that feels earned rather than forced, though some of the Earth plot machinery still moves at a crawl. Worth your time, especially since the momentum clearly points toward a big finale.
