Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Earth strategizes a costly ploy to gain advantage in the war against Mars; Anna struggles to convince Sorrento-Gillis to do the right thing; Avasarala and Bobbie seek refuge aboard the Rocinante.
Our Take
A tense hour that mostly lives up to its title, with Earth’s desperate gambit delivering some genuine seat-squirming tension. The Avasarala and Bobbie scenes crackle once they finally get characters in the same room talking. Anna’s storyline still feels like a slow burn, but the political maneuvering here is gripping enough to earn the runtime.
