* BaitAndSwitch: Possibly. After Amos regrows his missing digits, Amos tells Alex that he's "gonna try it out right now" and walks away; Alex's expression could mean that it's Amos having ADateWithRosiePalms, but the last scene we see shows Amos ''beating up Murtry with his new hand''. It's possible that both events happened, though!

* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Beloved Belter pirate Klaes Ashford is chucked into vacuum for refusing to play ball with Marco Inaros. Ashford gets big bonus points because his death is beautifully filmed, poignant (he dies singing a lullaby he sang ''to his deceased child''), and plot-relevant: he gets Marco to incriminate himself, records it, and ensures that the recording reaches Drummer after his death.
