Episode Recap The episode opens on Laconia, as friends pay their respects to Cara’s family on the loss of her brother.  Admiral Duarte sits next to Cara and talks to her about grief, safety, and protection, and he discloses that he lost a place, the dream of Mars, which fell apart and made him sad, angry and frightened.  He talks of sacrifice and that if they can accomplish what they are trying to do there, it will be worth the things they lost along the way, but Cara doesn’t want to sacrifice her brother.  As Duarte talks about keeping everyone safe, Cortazar rushes in to find him.  Cortazar’s new coordination protocol returned a reply pattern and he thinks he can turn it on, as the strange machine with blue protomolecule lights circles Laconia.  Late at night Cara pushes the gurney, with her brother’s body on it, deep into the forest.  Sanjrani delivers a fiery speech to her people on Ceres, telling them now is not the time for Belters to sell their future for the empty promise of safety, and not to take the […]

Episode Recap The episode opens on Laconia, with the little girl, Cara, running to her home with the sick mother bird, asking her mother and father to save it, but it’s too late.  The mother bird is dead.  Cara is guilt stricken when she is reminded that Laconia has a different chemistry than Earth, and realizes the crumb from her protein bar likely killed the bird.  As her parents leave for a required meeting called by “the soldiers,” Cara decides to bury the bird and return the three baby birds to their nest.  She returns to the forest, and uses her parents’ drone to successfully return one baby bird to the nest, but then it crashes.  Devastated, she begins to dig a grave for the dead bird.  The strange purring dog comes up behind her, picks up the dead bird in its mouth and disappears into the forest, as Cara cries out in dismay. In the Belt, the Rocinante is replenishing its supplies courtesy of a UNN ship.  As Jim Holden prepares to disconnect, he is informed that a […]
