Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Avasarala faces fallout for the UN’s military mission. Ashford and Drummer makes big decisions about their future within the OPA. A spreading illness on Ilus takes a toll on Amos. Alex and Naomi’s attempt to rescue the Barb turns final option.
Our Take
A tense, talky hour that mostly works because the character stakes feel real. Avasarala’s political mess is the highlight, and Amos gets some quietly great material as things get worse on Ilus. The Alex and Naomi storyline drags a bit toward its obvious conclusion. Not the season’s best, but it sets up the endgame well and earns its runtime.
