The previous episode ended after one of Inaros’ asteroids collided with the Earth. The Earth is now in bad shape, far more than anticipated by Avasarala.

Felip, Karal, and Cyn ambushes Naomi in the station and looks a real threat to her as Felip yields an electric shock gun.
In the previous episode, Camina discovered a recording, in which Inaros planning to attack target greater than Tycho or Ceres. Later, she sent the recording to Fred so that the Belters could be helped. Alex revealed that he wanted to learn the details about weapon trafficking to the attackers who drugged him. However, the attackers couldn’t kill Alex as Bobbie enters the room and overpowers them.
