** Kelly is enraged with Ed due to the possible presence of microbial life in the Martian water reserve that wasn't ruled out. Given what humanity in our timeline knows about ExtremophileLifeforms and given what viewers of this episode know about the other consequences of drilling into that aquifer, Kelly is 100% right.

However, the viewer knows that Margo has no altruistic reason for saying this, as she is actually the traitor.

** Margo emotionally manipulates Aleida in her attempts to get her to drop the investigation into who is leaking NASA information. To accomplish this, Margo uses Aleida's own past against her (remembering when her father was falsely accused of being a spy) and even threatening to suspend her.
