We pan out and see that Bobbie has done an EVA to collect Naomi and is nudging them away from the Chetzemoka and towards the Firehawk, giving Alex an update on her condition. Bobbie appears onscreen, looking cool as a cucumber. Then there’s a thump, Bobbie’s voice telling her she’s putting an oxygen line in and then contacting Alex. The tone of her suit indicating that she’s out of oxygen takes over and it feels like the last we’ll see of Naomi. We get a long shot of Naomi’s face in her suit, running out of air and spinning out of control. Alex interprets her Belter hand signals–‘no radio, running out of air, ship is explosion hazard’–and they realise that they can’t approach as Naomi is within the spiralling Chetzemoka’s flightpath. At least she’s wearing a suit this time.Īlex is plotting the docking manoeuver when Bobbie sees something fall off the Chetzemoka and realises it’s Naomi. She looks resigned, opens the airlock she entered the Chetzemoka by and takes a running leap into the void. Naomi calls him a brave idiot, sees that the Firehawk is now close enough to have armed the bombs on the Chetzemoka. Holden contacts the remaining Belter ships and tells them to switch off their drives–Drummer responds, letting Holden know it’s her.Īlex contacts Naomi to say they’re going to find a way to dock. Josep takes matters into his own hands on Oksana’s ship and decides to fire on the Serrio Mal, taking out the heavy frigate. She launches a flurry of missiles at the Koto–none of which hit–but this allows the Rocinante to fly through, now pretty much one-on-one with the Serrio Mal, still heftily outgunned. There is a brawl that results in Karal dead at Michio’s hands with Bertold at gunpoint and Drummer speaking to the destroyer Koto saying there was a malfunction in fire control. Alex says ice cold that they’re going to get Naomi.Īs the Rocinante gets ready for the fight, Holden tells Bull to stop with the ‘skinny’ slurs.Īs they get into engagement range, Drummer pulls a gun on Karal tells her to shut up and fires a missile that takes our the drive on Oksana’s ship. Bobbie lays out why this makes docking extremely dangerous if not impossible and points out the possibility of them crashing or hard manoeuvring after such a strong burn leading to one of them having a stroke. Alex and Bobbie on the Firehawk notice the change. Naomi finally manages to batter something loose inside the Chetzemoka, making the ship spiral. Oh Gods, that’s just the pre-title sequence. Alex chokes down his emotions and puts more speed on towards Naomi. Holden advises Alex and Bobbie of the plan. Bull comes round, Monica looks horrified. He says Inaros won’t let the Rocinante away again and this way by taking their attention, it gives the Firehawk and Naomi a chance to escape. Holden proposes a plan to basically charge the Belter fleet, guns blazing. Drummer says she doesn’t look away from what she does. Monica says that they have to run and Holden… doesn’t respond.Īs Drummer prepares on board her ship, Karal takes fire control in a pointed gesture and Berthold tells her that she doesn’t need to be on the bridge to see this. Holden and Bull are agreed that they can’t win, due to being heavily outgunned and already low on ammunition. Monica pulls Bull up about calling the Belter ships ‘skinnies.’ On the Rocinante, Bull advises Holden that the Roci’s systems have picked up some threats–it’s the destroyer, Koto and the heavy frigate, Serrio Mal which are former Martian ships now in Free Navy service, alongside the ships of Drummer’s faction– Tynan, Dewalt, and Mowteng. (* I can’t take credit for that name, but I saw it online for the group that makes up Drummer’s faction and it’s just so perfect.) Meanwhile, Drummer and the #polyambelterfam* are tasked by Inaros to take out the Rocinante. The Rocinante and Screaming Firehawk are burning hard towards the Chetzemoka to save Naomi, who is frantically trying to stop her friends being caught up in Marco Inaros’ trap. The tension has been expertly built leading up to this episode, so let’s dive in. It’s time for the finale of season 5 of The Expanse, titled as has become customary after the book which will form the core of the next series – Nemesis Games. And in your final warning for this season’s series episode review, ‘ware spoilers!
