Complete story — includes the ending
Avasarala visits Mars and invites Bobbie to a state banquet. At the banquet, Bobbie is rebuffed by fellow Martians and offended when she perceives that she is being used by Avasarala; she rejects a job offer from Avasarala. Bobbie discovers that her nephew, David, is preparing illicit "focus drugs" for a gang. She ends his involvement by beating up the gang members and destroying their lab. On Ilus, the Rocinante crew navigates the ongoing tensions between the Belters and Earthers; they identify the bugs as protomolecule-based. The drugs Naomi has been taking have not been fully successful. RCE Security Chief Adolphus Murtry, who took charge after the expedition's leader had died, identifies the shuttle's downing as deliberate; he confronts Belters about that and kills one of them in a standoff. Holden, guided by Miller, enters an alien structure near the settlement and removes a root growing through a panel, activating the structure; this triggers a pattern of lightning strikes across Ilus. Amos begins a relationship with Chandra Wei, Murtry's second-in-command. On Medina, Ashford and Drummer investigate the disappearance of the UN colony ship Sojourner and find it was stolen by Marco Inaros, an OPA pirate and Naomi's former lover.
