Season 2, Episode 11:
Here There Be Dragons
Errinwright and Avasarala try to get Mao to make contact, the crew of the Roci try to find Mei on Ganymede and Bobbie makes a decision that changes her life forever. Mao invites Avasarala to a meeting, which she accepts despite Cotyar's opinion that it's a trap.
Tropes:
- Have You Told Anyone Else?: Errinwright does a more subtle variant, asking Avasarala what she's told the UN about his role in the Eros incident. The fact that she's told nothing gives him an advantage he didn't expect.
- Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: Bobbie beats the truth out of Captain Martens.
- Layman's Terms: Prax starts explaining the ecological collapse of the Ganymede agricultural station, but Amos (who heard the explanation from him in a prior conversation) cuts him short:Holden: What's happening?
Prax: The cascade. In real nature there's enough diversity...
Amos: It means this station is fucked. - Punctuated Pounding:Bobbie: What — killed — my — team?!
- Run for the Border: Bobbie does one of these as she runs from the Martian embassy across the perimeter fence to UN authorities, surrendering and requesting political asylum.
- Taking the Bullet: Amos takes one for Prax.
- Title Drop: Janus to Iturbi on the Arboghast, once they decide to use up the last two of their probes.Janus: You know what sailors used to say when their ships went past the end of their maps?
Iturbi: Time for a new map?
Janus: Here there be dragons. - The Worf Effect: In-universe, Amos notices this and complains. Alex also notices.Amos: How come I'm the one who always gets shot?
Alex: (later, noticing Amos's bandages) How come you're the one who always gets shot?
