At times, the action does drag, but the conclusion is stunning. Undoubtedly, fans are already looking forward to the sixth (and final) season.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turning_Around_Fighting\"><\/span>Turning Around &amp; Fighting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As the episode opens, the Roci is being pursued by five of Inaros\u2019 ships (one of which Drummer and her crew are on). Holden and his team opt to take the Free Navy vessels on in a fight, which gives Alex and Bobbie the chance to get away \u2014 and to find Naomi.<\/p>\n<p>Naomi manages to rig the ship so it\u2019s in a spiral, rather than flying away from Alex and Bobbie. Their only option is to dock with the ship to retrieve her, except for the fact that both ships are heavily damaged, and doing so requires a High G burn that might cause them both to have massive strokes. Just another day in space, right?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_986590\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-986590\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-986590\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-drummer-oksana-2-1014x501.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1014\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-drummer-oksana-2-1014x501.jpeg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-drummer-oksana-2-450x222.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-drummer-oksana-2-768x379.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-drummer-oksana-2-570x282.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-drummer-oksana-2.jpeg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-986590\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amazon Prime Video<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Listening_to_Marco_No_More\"><\/span>Listening to Marco No More<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, things have gone from bad to worse aboard Drummer\u2019s ship. Karal says she\u2019ll take fire control, meaning that she\u2019ll fire the shot that destroys the Roci \u2014 or so she thinks. As always, Drummer has a plan\u2026and she has no intention of harming her friends. She pulls a gun on Karal and tells her to get out of the chair, and then fires a blast at her own ship, making it <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear they had a malfunction. Karal fights her and one of her own joins in on Karal\u2019s side, but Michio clubs Karal over the head with a fire extinguisher, killing her.<\/p>\n<p>Drummer\u2019s crew starts to take down the Belter ships that are targeting the Roci, and eventually, only ships that mean them no harm are left. Holden patches through to them and delivers a message: shut down reactors and stand down. The relief in Drummer\u2019s voice is evident when she responds: \u201cHolden, this is Drummer.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_986589\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-986589\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-986589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-bobbi-2-1014x501.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1014\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-bobbi-2-1014x501.jpeg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-bobbi-2-450x222.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-bobbi-2-768x379.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-bobbi-2-570x282.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/the-expanse-bobbi-2.jpeg 2028w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-986589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amazon Prime Video<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Cowboys_Farewell\"><\/span>A Cowboy\u2019s Farewell<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Naomi throws herself out the airlock of the ship (she\u2019s wearing a space suit this time, though!), in hopes she can get far enough from it for her friends to rescue her without setting off the proximity detonator. She doesn\u2019t, and she has an extremely limited air supply. Thankfully, Alex and Bobbie are smart enough to figure out a way to get her without triggering the explosives; Bobbie goes out, by herself in her Martian suit, to get Naomi. She succeeds and it appears all is well, but when Bobbie radios Alex to tell him to get the auto-doc ready for Naomi, he doesn\u2019t respondand there\u2019s blood dripping from his nose. He\u2019s had a fatal stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Having a very bad day is Marco Inaros, who has learned about Drummer\u2019s betrayal. He uses that treachery to send her a message by sending out of the airlock a member of her crew he traded for Karal several episodes earlier. He then sends Drummer the man&#8217;s recording of his final moments, as he begs for his life and pleads. The plan \u2014 and its impact \u2014 splits Drummer\u2019s family down the center. \u201cYou knew this would be the price,\u201d Oksana (Sandrine Holt) says, angered. She and one other of Drummer\u2019s family leave, while two remain with her. Of course, Drummer is devastated.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_New_Family_Member\"><\/span>A New Family Member?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Thankfully, some things have gone right. Holden and Naomi reunite aboard the Roci, and he consoles her, saying Alex\u2019s death wasn\u2019t her fault; she doesn\u2019t seem to believe it, but she\u2019s happy to be back with the man she loves. Amos is safe on Luna, along with Erich and Clarissa (Nadine Nicole). Erich proposes they work together again, but Amos turns it down \u2014 he has to go back to his family.<\/p>\n<p>He finds his family has lost a member, though, and he, Naomi and Holden process that loss together. After they finish reflecting about Alex, he asks to talk to Holden alone, and he reminds his captain of a time when Holden once said he would put Amos down if it came to it (that was a long time ago!). He asks Holden if he meant it at the time, and Holden says that was a long time ago, there\u2019s no hard feelings and \u201cthey\u2019re family now.\u201d Those are just the words Amos wanted to hear: He says, \u201cShe\u2019s going to stay with us,\u201d and thanks Holden for \u201cbeing cool about this.\u201d Holden looks horrified at seeing Clarissa Mao again and the fact that she\u2019s now on his ship, but what choice does he have?<\/p>\n<p>The Roci crew is then invited to a government soiree, and it appears the tides have turned and they have the upper hand over Marco. Avasarala delivers a rousing speech ending with \u201cthis is how we win.\u201d But have they, really?<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marcos_Knife_in_the_Darkness\"><\/span>Marco\u2019s Knife in the Darkness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Across the galaxy, Marco is delivering his own speech. \u201cYou must always have a knife in the darkness,\u201d he tells his son, maintaining that this will be something talked about by generations yet to come. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, the Protomolecule sample the Belters had is still out there; it wasn\u2019t destroyed when the ship it was on self-destructed. At the party, Avasarala tells Holden and his crew to come with her: there\u2019s been another attack at the Ring.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s Marco\u2019s knife in the darkness \u2014 he\u2019s attacked the UN ships at the ring gate, using Medina Station, which has coordinated with him. Oh, and he has Martian ships on his side, too, so they\u2019re firing at everything that isn\u2019t on the Free Navy\u2019s side, too. As the Belters around him chant his name, Marco smirks, pleased with his victory, while Filip looks on, seemingly disheartened.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_Mars_Know\"><\/span>What Does Mars Know?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Back on Luna, Avasarala and Bobbie are wondering how a whole fleet of Martians went rogue and sided with Inaros. Holden knows why. \u201cHe may have bought them,\u201d he says. Avasarala ponders aloud why they would want the Protomolecule after what it did on Ilus, and Holden says, \u201cmaybe they know something we don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That certainly seems to be the case. In the final scene, a Martian commander (Sauviterre, from earlier in the season) and crew member approach the Ring and receive a transmission from Marco, declaring the planet his and thanking a man named Duarte for his help. They receive a transmission from Cortazar \u2014 you know, the Protomolecule scientist from two seasons ago? \u2014 declaring the Protomolecule has arrived on the planet and they are seeing \u201cgreat results,\u201d including towering structures in the sky. Sauviterre and his crew member start to go through the Ring, but, surprisingly, as their ship enters, the Ring goes from blue to red and the ship appears to dissolve. How? Why? Those questions, it seems, are for Season 6 to answer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Expanse<\/em>, returns late 2021, Amazon Prime Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
