* Creator/ThomasJane as Miller really [[LargeHam hamming it up]] during tense confrontation between hired mercs and CPM goons. His purposely exaggerated pronunciation of "brothers" in the [[ConLang Belter]] [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent accent]] is especially notable.

** As everyone is getting the giggles out of their system, Miller finishes it up by saying "Inspector Detector, this guy was not." Amos asks who ''that'' is. Miller and all the other spacers then have to explain about Inspector Detector, a talking atmosphere leak detector cartoon used to teach spacer kids about emergencies.

* According to Amos, him having held a knife to Monica's throat to get Cohen to explain how he sabotaged the ''Roci'' before having them both ThrownOutTheAirlock so they could contact another ship and let them know the ''Roci'' has no comms was him being "gentle."

* Between the hilariously incompetent engineering team and Havelock's CasualDangerDialogue, the entirety of Naomi's escape from the ''Edward Israel'' is a great break from the horrors of the storm on Ilus.

** Moments later Cotyar tells Bobbie that if she can get to their shuttle, her power armor is there, and she can come back to rescue them. When Bobbie asks why he bothered bringing the armor with them, the look Cotyar gives her is a hilarious mixture of WhatAnIdiot and "Do I really have to point out the obvious?"

* The Martian Marines set to intercept Holden and try to get radio contact with him while he is talking to the mental image of Detective Miller. HilarityEnsues.

* When Miller and Havelock are patrolling Ceres during the heightened tensions caused by the [[spoiler: destruction of the Canterbury and Holden's message that Mars was responsible for the attack,]] they are approached by a Mormon missionary. Havelock gives him their boss's information as his own and says that if they don't get a response at first, they should just keep calling repeatedly because he's forgetful.

* Holden's gleeful reaction to the Roci having a real [[MustHaveCaffeine coffee maker]], only to despair when he can't find the beans.

* [[spoiler:Miller and Holden]] finally arrived at Eros Station's docks. In near-total despair[[spoiler: due to radiation eating away at them, Miller starts hallucinating Julies Mao (again) welcoming him to Rocinante.]]

'''[[spoiler:[[BaitAndSwitch Amos]]]]''': [[spoiler:You guys look like shit.]]

* While a dramatic moment, the palpable confusion on the entire cast's faces after [[spoiler: Eros starts flying towards Earth]] is ''priceless''.

** "You're on [[spoiler:Eros, kid]]. Though not what it used to be. It's a step up actually." Oh, Miller.

* Alex's blink-and-you'll-miss-it reaction to Drummer [[spoiler: shooting two of the RenegadeSplinterFaction OPA traitors]], then walking to the medbay without him. It's a weird combination of annoyance, underreaction, and confusion.

* During his [[spoiler: VillainousBreakdown]], Errinwright shares his real opinion of Sorento-Gillis' leadership. Volovodov can do nothing beside look down, hide her smirk, and nod her head in agreement.

* After thinking over Holden's claims to have been receiving visions from [[spoiler:Miller]], Alex awkwardly goes up to Holden and asks if they could talk "without interrupting, y'know, your talks with... [[spoiler:Miller?]]" while weakly gesturing to his own head. Cue Holden giving him [[DeathGlare a flat stare]] and closing the door on Alex before resuming to try and summon the Investigator. What makes it even funnier is how Holden shouting [[spoiler:Miller's]] name actually serves as an InUniverse JumpScare for Alex when he starts to walk away.

* The Martian Marines set to intercept Holden and try to get radio contact with him while he is talking to [[spoiler:the mental image of Detective Miller]]. HilarityEnsues.

* Melba Koh[[spoiler:/Clarissa Mao]] has finally found Holden, locked into a prisoner cell across from him. When he introduces himself with a simple "Hey, I'm Jim, what are you in for?", all she can do is [[ActuallyPrettyFunny burst into laughter]].

-->'''Avasarala:''' [[FirstNameUltimatum James,]] my dear boy, I sent you to that planet to be my eyes and ears, and now, [[spoiler:large ruins that were ''supposed'' to be inert are shooting out lightning]] and there is ''nothing'' but ''radio silence'' from you. So, please, find a way to carve a few moments out of your ''[[SarcasmMode busy schedule,]]'' pick up a goddamn comm, and tell me precisely ''what the [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] [[SuddenlyShouting IS GOING ON DOWN THERE!!]]''

* During Errinwright's [[spoiler: VillainousBreakdown]], he shares his real opinion of Sorento-Gillis' leadership. Volovodov can do nothing beside look down, hide her smirk, and nod her head in agreement.

* Dawes' chapter on Tycho involves a fair amount of HypocriticalHumour in his efforts to convince the OPA bigwigs to back Holden's plan. Specifically, he convinces ''one'' OPA leader that Holden is a visionary and they need to get on board, he convinces ''another'' OPA leader that Holden has the right idea, but won't do it right without the leader's input, he convinces ''yet another'' OPA leader that

** After a brief talk following that, Amos tells Holden that if he needs to vent and smash some stuff, he should go ahead. [[CallBack Just leave the coffee maker alone this time]]. Furthermore, when Holden tells Amos that [[BlatantLies he's fine]], Amos just raises an eyebrow before leaving.

* Holden's attempt to keep his and Naomi's relationship a secret.
** And Amos somehow working it out after Holden asks her to pass the pepper.

* Amos calls Chrisjen Avasarala, at that point quite probably the most powerful person on Earth and in the solar system "Chrissie". She, in turn, threatens to have the police "beat him gently with cattle-prods" if he ever calls her that again.
** Naturally, this doesn't stop him, because when they meet again on Luna, he calls her that again.
