* DavidVsGoliath: The fight over the ''Razorback'' is framed as this, as the ''Roci'' is significantly smaller than the UNN warship chasing them both. Alex even lampshades it by pointing out that the latter ship has lot more missiles that the ''Rocinante'' does. It takes a risky move using a nuclear explosion as cover to get close enough to cripple the UNN ship's engines, allowing the two smaller ships to get away safely.

* DramaPreservingHandicap: The heavy strain of continuous high G-forces coupled with Avasarala's age constantly puts her at death's door from a brain aneurysm. It got bad enough that Bobbie had to slow down and risk getting blown up by Errinwright's ships just so she wouldn't keel over in the cockpit.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Anna is introduced being escorted by police while protesters are held back by riot police right in front of her. When one of the protesters falls over a barricade and gets a nasty-looking gash on his forehead, she tasks the nearest riot police with getting him to first aid station. This all establishes her as moral, principled, willful and practical.
