Sadly for me the weakest episode of the whole show. Of course the performances (including Dominique Tipper) are great. But the script for this episode focuses to much on Naomi. I'm still annoyed about her surviving a 60 seconds space flight without a suit and a medical team waiting for her at her target. But even if we accept the plot armor and nonsense about her surviving: The whole time we see Naomi doing "technical" stuff for minutes and minutes without understanding, what exactly she does and how it is supposed to work. This makes the Naomi scenes tedious (and boring) to watch. They should have focused more on the other (way more interesting plot lines). Of course, one weak episode doesn't make the show bad. It's just a bit disappointing, because usually Expanse is much better than this.

things that she was doing in this ep were actually very correct, parts she was using, current over a wire, grounding negative wire, avoiding to open the circuit cause of tamper sensor "alarm", etc., problem is that she was able to move and do this, without getting healed first, maybe she's an android with self healing system built in..

One of the brilliant things the writers and show runner do is to project as best they can the agony of what each character is going through but especially Naomi and her BFF Drummer. The repeating message, Naomi's dogged attempts to try to alter the message so that her friends aren't blown up if they try to rescue her (along with her of course!) What she has to come up with to locate the proper wiring to interrupt that message (which as explained in the book, she cannot hear when she goes between the hulls into vacuum) how she keeps track of her oxygen and trips, as her brain is gradually shutting down from dehydration, her misery when she hears Alex's voice say they are going to dock with her. It is all brilliantly portrayed and makes some viewers uncomfortable, or even worse, bored!! I loved this episode, it will stand out as one of my favorites of all time. Dom Tipper deserves every acting award out there for displaying courage for the ages in Naomi defending her friends when all other hope appears lost. Love her and her character!
