Elsewhere, Cara returns to her worried parents, but she brings a surprise – her no longer dead brother, Xan. As the almost zombie like Xan approaches them, her parents realize the danger and Cara pretends to run out of their home. She has tricked them, and leads her brother into the forest, where we see her through Xan’s eyes, glowing with the blue protomolecule particles dancing around her. On the Zenobia, Avasarala, UNN and MCRN representatives, Drummer, Holden and Bobbie review options to stop Inaros before he gets to the Ring and Medina Station. The Free Navy and Alliance fleets are evenly matched, and the UNN, MCRN, and friendly Belter assets will each pursue one of the three Free Navy groups. The Roci crew has a Plan B. They will rendezvous with the Giambattista and join an assault team. If they can take out Medina Station’s targeting and comm arrays, they can capture the Rail guns, force Medina to surrender, and stop any Free Navy ships coming through the Ring that might have gotten past the main fleet action. It’s a bold, yet difficult plan. The Roci crew is docked with the Giambattista and is preparing for the coming assault. Bobbie and Holden reminisce about the Roci’s original name, the Tachi, and Alex. Naomi asks Clarissa to handle a task and when Amos gives the okay, Clarissa refers to him as “boss.” Naomi reminisces with Amos about their time on the Cant, when he called her “boss,” and helps Amos understand that the torch has been passed – to Clarissa. He’s grown into his new responsibilities and position. Meanwhile, Clarissa has another episode and goes to the medical bay. The news is grim. She’s experiencing complex endocrine collapse syndrome for which there is no approved course of treatment. Continued use of her mods increases the risk of sudden death. Her life expectancy is five years. Later, Clarissa makes a home cooked meal for the crew. Textured mushroom seco de carne with soy tequenos on the side. Amos tells Clarissa she’s the ship’s mechanic now. The crew has bonded, each giving the other a chance and putting old disagreements aside. And they eat, enjoying each other’s company before the coming battle. Drummer prepares for battle against the Free Navy tenders and supply vessels. Looking at her empty room, with her family no longer there, she heads to the flight deck to lead her battle group. Their mission is to destroy a frigate, but Walker suggests that they capture the prize. To their horror, they realize the freighter is not what it seems, but a disguised and fully loaded war ship – the Pella. The Dewalt is hit and Drummer’s ship, the Tynan, has a gaping hole in its side. Four ships have been lost and five are without power. Two ships are operational. She is going after the Pella herself, but Walker contacts her. He’s going on the suicide mission and she watches him die as his ship hits the Pella. Drummer knows they’ve done all they can. Tenye wa chesh gut, Rocinante. Have a good hunt. On the Pella, Filip reports to the main deck for duty as Rosenfeld has convinced Marco that Filip should be there. As Marco and Rosenfeld talk, we learn that Admiral Duarte supplied the rail guns to Marco, and that Marco apparently expects to get another weapon from him. When they are hit by Walker’s ship, they experience significant damage, and Rosenfeld is injured. Filip rushes to her side and is with her as she dies. With the Pella damaged and some of his fleet lost, Marco receives a tight beam from Admiral Duarte, who refuses to provide additional armaments to the Free Navy and refuses to communicate further with Marco, threatening his ships. Duarte has gods to kill. The Ring to Laconia is now closed. Marco is on his own. Filip informs Marco that Rosenfeld is dead, and Marco doesn’t seem to care. Filip asks his father how he so easily copes with all the people they’ve killed, and Marco dismisses it with the thought that he, Marco, could have died. When Filip expresses that he had no choice in the life Marco has made for him, Marco berets him, but it is clear that Filip now sees Marco for who he is. Marco leaves his room and rallies his troops as Filip turns away in disgust and despair. The Rocinante and Giambattista approach the Ring. The assault team members are each enclosed in cargo shipping pods which are launched from the Giambattista. Bobbie reminds them that they say “good hunting” before a fight, not “good luck.” The Roci uses the other ship for cover then peels off and changes the flight path of the pods to evade the rail guns. The Roci is hit and the new armor holds, but the...
