** Admiral Nguyen was in on TheConspiracy with Mao and Errinwright, murdered [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Admiral Souther]], and launched pods of the hybrids towards Mars to commit genocide on its 7 billion people just out of sheer racism. One of those pods hit was shot down and hit his ship, taking him out of action, before he's killed when Cotyar blows the whole ship up.

* WhamEpisode: Thanks to Avasarala's and Anna's efforts, Errinwright is finally arrested for treason, and Holden apprehends Mao as well. Amos kills Dr. Strickland, the children are rescued, and Mei and Prax are reunited, but Katoa completes his transformation into a hybrid and nearly kills Bobbie, who narrowly survives and manages to kill him instead. Nguyen launches the pods of protomolecule hybrids from Io towards Mars with the intent of committing genocide on the Martians, only for one of the pods to be shot down and hit his ship, causing the entire ''Agatha King'' to be infected with the protomolecule. Cotyar blows up the ''Agatha King'' to destroy the protomolecule, taking himself, Nguyen, and everyone else still alive on the ship with it. Fred Johnson, after being contacted by Naomi, uses the missiles he stole from the UNN last season to shoot down all the remaining hybrid pods. Naomi and Holden fully reconcile and reunite as a couple, but Naomi decides to leave the ''Rocinante'', at least temporarily. Finally, the protomolecule growth on Venus launches a mysterious structure into space whose nature is unknown.

* BoomHeadshot: Amos to Strickland.
* ChekhovsSkill: Bobbie being physically strong enough to arm wrestle her own PowerArmor saves her life when, after a fall damages the armor and leaves it as a dead weight shell around her body, she manages to lift her arm just enough to shoot and kill the Hybrid!Katoa that was trying to kill her.
* FantasticRacism: Nguyen towards Martians, and Belters to a lesser extent. He outright states that the minute they left Earth to colonize Mars, they ceased being human, calling them "insects".
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Nguyen ordered numerous pods containing the hybrids to be launched to Mars. The ''Roci'', UNN, and MCRN all shoot down some of these pods, and one of them hits the ''Agatha King'', dooming the ship and everyone on it, Nguyen included.
* HopeSpot: Dr. Strickland has one when Amos persuades Prax not to kill him...only for Amos to kill Strickland himself.
* [[JerkassHasAPoint Jerkass]] VillainHasAPoint: For all of Errinwright's selfishness, treachery, and NeverMyFault attitude, he is absolutely right when he calls out Secretary-General Sorrento-Gillis as being a spineless, weak-willed, poor leader who's more obsessed with his legacy than anything else, and Sorrento-Gillis proves him right immediately afterwards by thanking Anna not for making sure a treasonous CorruptPolitician was arrested, but for saving his legacy.
* KarmicDeath: Both of the show's [[CompleteMonster Complete Monsters]] get killed off in this episode, so naturally, their deaths are very karmic:
** Dr. Strickland kidnapped Mei and other children and experimented on them, turning Mei's friend Katoa into a hybrid. Amos (whose BerserkButton is harming children) executes him with [[BoomHeadshot a shot to the head]] as he fruitlessly begs for mercy.
** Admiral Nguyen was in on TheConspiracy with Mao and Errinwright, murdered [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Admiral Souther]], and launched pods of the hybrids towards Mars to commit genocide on its 7 billion people just out of sheer racism. One of those pods hit was shot down and hit his ship, taking him out of action, before he's killed when Cotyar blows the whole ship up.
* KilledOffForReal:
** Dr. Strickland, who's [[BoomHeadshot executed]] by Amos.
** Katoa as Mei knew him was already almost entirely gone, having been turned into a hybrid, but here, Hybrid!Katoa is put down by Bobbie shooting the back of his head out.
** Cotyar, who blows up the ''Agatha King'' [[TakingYouWithMe to destroy the protomolecule there]].
** Fleet Admiral Nguyen, who's also on this ship and dies in the explosion.
* LaserGuidedKarma: In addition to the [[KarmicDeath karmic deaths]] listed above:
** After two and a half seasons of being a ManipulativeBastard and CorruptPolitician, and after being a passive-aggressive {{Jerkass}} to Anna for all of Season 3 so far, Sadavir Errinwright's treachery is finally exposed--thanks to Anna's efforts, to boot--and he's arrested for treason.
