** Turns out that bombing Earth with a protracted asteroid barrage ''was not'' the masterstroke of genius that Marco thought it was: Earth is still the main exporter of food shipments to the Belt, so now that those are cut off, supplies are starting to get strained. He makes grand speeches about making Ceres the new capital of the Belter nation, but in reality they don't have enough food and supplies for it, and Marco is prioritizing building up Medina Station to control access to the interstellar colonies through the Ring gate. Being an UngratefulBastard, Marco intends to simply strip Ceres for supplies and discusses abandoning it entirely, even though his son points out the ''massive'' political backlash this will cause from all the Belters who rallied to their banner because Ceres has been their unofficial capital for a century.
** Marco's dialogue in this episode also makes it clear that he's a BloodKnight who assumes EasyLogistics but doesn't really know how to administer a nation, much less a war. He's vocally displeased that Earth's fleets are tied down fending off his long ranged asteroid attacks, saying that he misses fighting them in direct ship combat...even though the asteroid attacks are doing maximum damage with no threat to the Free Navy itself, not to mention how outgunned he'd be in direct conflict. He's also increasingly ''bored'' when his aides keep pointing out that without Earth's food shipments they actually can't supply Ceres even after they take it, dismissing this as annoying "spreadsheets" instead of vital war logistics.

** Season 5 ended with the remaining ''Rocinante'' crew members reunited and happy to be back together, and gaining a new member with Clarissa. Here, things are tense between the ''Roci'' crew: having to kill Free Navy Belters is taking an emotional toll on Naomi, there's some tension between her and Holden, Amos doesn't really want to be part of the mission and is only there so as to not abandon Holden, Naomi is (understandably) very unhappy about [[ReformedButRejected Clarissa's]] presence and this is straining Naomi's and Amos's friendship, and all three original crewmembers are dearly missing Alex.
** Bobbie agreed in the finale of the previous season to be Avasarala's liaison and right-hand woman. Turns out, she hates the job, since she's a trained Marine who's essentially been delegated to PR and secretary duties, and has been sticking with it mainly out of loyalty to Avasarala. Chrisjen, meanwhile, has her hands full dealing with the constant bombardment of Earth by asteroids, all the resulting damage and casualties, and the flak she's been getting for it.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Filip is in a downward spiral, thanks to both Marco increasingly cutting him out of decision-making while showing him less and less love and respect, and his own implied guilt over his actions. After a barmaid rejects his drunken, [[EntitledToHaveYou entitlement-fuelled]] advances, he snaps and starts screaming at her and everyone else in the vicinity about how he's a "fucking hero", then starts badmouthing his friend Yoan when the latter tries to calm him down, claiming he (Filip) is the only reason any girls on the ship are into him. It finally escalates to Filip shooting Yoan.
* InternalReveal: Holden learns of the destruction of the Sauveterre's ship, and deduces the hyperspace aliens were responsible based on the light disturbance in the gate.

* OhCrap: While Holden is attempting to study the asteroid's navigation computer, he notices that the piece of metal he just broke off the lock is bouncing back and forth against the engine, and realizes that the magnetic bottle is powering up and that the engine is about to fire. Fortunately he manages to smash the computer before it incinerates him, although it means he can't get any information from it.
* SmugSnake: Marco acts like he's the next Alexander the Great (he named his ship ''Pella'', after his home town), and spends the episode preening about how he's a military genius who's basically defeated Earth & Mars already. In reality he's just a terrorist who managed to kill ''billions'' in a surprise attack, but didn't really have a plan for what to do next if the Inner planets weren't immediately shocked into surrender. He continues to insist that he pulled off a XanatosGambit, even as his aides ''directly'' point out to him the severe problems caused by his own short-sightedness.
