Season 2, Episode 10:
Cascade
Despite chastisement from her commanding officers, Bobbie sneaks out to see the ocean, shocked by the poor living conditions of the average Earthers along the way. Errinwright confesses to Avasarala his role in helping Jules-Pierre Mao with the Eros incident. Avasarala approaches Bobbie with images of the inhuman figure from Ganymede, now believing Mao created it as a weapon for Mars. On Ganymede, Amos beats up an information dealer for footage of the doctor taking Prax's daughter to the oldest part of Ganymede station. Prax realizes too much damage has been done to Ganymede's ecosystem to ever repair it without starting over completely. Alone on the Rocinante, Alex hears the Martian Navy declare Ganymede to be a no-fly zone.
This episode contains the following tropes:
- It Gets Easier: Holden attempts to justify not intervening in Amos beating the shit out of Roma by saying that he would have stopped it if it goes too far. Naomi bitterly responds, "Every shitty thing we do makes the next one that much easier, doesn't it?"
- Pro Bono Barter: Roma demands chicken as payment to find information regarding missing family members. He is very adamant about it being ONLY chicken.
- Suddenly Sober: Alex, upon hearing the Martian Navy's announcement.
