01 – New Terra
With the Rings now open to other habitable solar systems, a lot of desperate Belters risk their lives for a new future, by attempting to pass the UNN blockade. Most of the ships don’t survive the blockade, but the Barbapiccola does and they land on a Lithium-rich planet, which they call Ilus. Meanwhile a commercial ship: the Edward Israel is sent to Ilus to convince the Belter settlers to leave the planet, because they want the rights to the Lithium. However, when a dropship from the Israel descends to the planet, it is attacked and a lot of the people it is carrying are killed, including its leader. The Israel’s security chief, Murtry, survives and becomes the new leader. With him as leader, they soon come into conflict with the Belter settlers. Avasarala then sends Holden and the Roci crew to Ilus, to investigate the unnatural structures on the planet and if it has anything to do with the protomolecule.

02 – Jetsam
On Mars, Bobbie is struggling with her new mundane life and misses being a marine. She is then invited by Avasarala to a fancy dinner and is even offered a job. However Bobbie refuses the offer because she felt being used as a prop, symbolizing Earth’s and Mars’ newfound friendship. Living with her brother’s family, Bobbie discovers that her nephew, David, is being used by a criminal group. Bobbie follows him one night and beats the gang up, taking her nephew back home. On Ilus, it is discovered that the planet is indeed somehow linked with the protomolecule. After investigating the crash site from the Israel’s dropship, Amos explains to Murtry that the ship was most likely attacked. The newly arrived and armed Earthers engange continually in verbal conflict with the Belter settlers. The situation reaches a climax, when Murtry kills one of the Belters. Meanwhile, Holden and Alex interact with one of the large structures on the planet, causing it to discharge energy.

Back on Earth, Avasarala encounters a new problem: Nancy Gao. Gao aims to be elected the new Secretary-General by promoting to explore the Rings habitable planets, while Avasarala urges caution. On Mars, David is kidnapped by his former criminal group. Bobbie eventually frees him by cooperating with the criminals and leaving a door at her work open, so they can steal military tech from Martian warships, which are being disassembled because the tension with Earth has almost completely disappeared. She notes that the buyers of the tech are Belters. She is even also offered a job by the the leader of the group, Esai, but Bobbie refuses. On Ilus, Murtry identifies the group of Belters that attacked the dropship and has them executed. However, thanks to Naomi, one of the Belters, Lucia, gets away. It is then that Holden and Alex discover that one of the structures, in a tornado-like manner, is heading towards the camp, but Holden prevents a disaster by having a torpedo from the Roci stop it.

Under pressure from both Earth and Mars, Drummer and Ashford, together with other allied Belter factions, hunt and capture Inaros. They are about to execute him when he holds his plea, telling them that they are all Belters, and that they all will eventually be betrayed by the Inners. He manages to gain 3 out of 5 votes, earning him his life. On Mars, Bobbie is arrested for her involvement of the stolen tech. Having really no one else, she calls in the aid of Esai and joins his criminal group. Meanwhile on Ilus, Naomi and Lucia are being pursued by Murtry’s forces, when Amos gets captured after attacking them in order for the women to escape.

Together with Alex and Naomi, Lucia boards the Roci, going into orbit, while Holden takes command of the settler’s camp.
