The Roci is in drydock for repairs, so the crew heads to their respective homes for some personal business. Amos processes his grief over the loss of an old friend by processing some thugs' teeth out of their heads. Alex mopes about his ex, then hooks up with Bobbie who is doing something much cooler. And Naomi's mysterious past calls her back, mysteriously.

What's up with Fred? Well, it depends when you ask. If you ask him when he is butchering Anderson Station, he's not doing great!

Holden's enemies and friends follow him to the strange place where the alien subway deposited him. Then they all shoot it out, mostly with each other, but eventually the right people get shot.

Miller has a new body! It is less noirish and more murderbottish than his last one, but it helps Holden get close to the mysterious anomaly they're searching for.
