Complete story — includes the ending

Melba hides the body and returns to the Thomas Prince. She briefly meets Anna. Holden keeps scanning himself for brain defects and protomolecule, finding neither. Miller only shows up when he is alone. Using timestamps from Monica's footage Holden determines Miller first appeared when the racer entered the Ring. Monica's cameraman swaps out a circuit on the Rocinante. Miller says he is an Investigator and he and Holden are tools for "it" to get to the Ring. Melba destroys the Seung Un and sends a fake message with Holden claiming responsibility. The Rocinante is unable to communicate a denial. On the Behemoth, Ashford demands they fire on Holden to prove the OPA is not with him. Drummer gives the order despite Naomi begging her not to. The ship malfunctions but eventually fires. Holden is able to get Amos to give him a minute alone, whereupon Miller says they should aim for the ring but they are moving too fast. Holden convinces Alex to slow down and enter the Ring. The deceleration hurts everyone on board. The ship starts to enter the Ring with the missile just behind it.
