She heads to a bar for a drink and bumps into old belter friends. Naomi is in deep thought as she’s anticipating seeing her son Filip. “Mother” then moves to The Chetzemoka that’s approaching Pallas station. Everything is based on conspiracy and theories so far in the 5th season it’s a satisfactory sci-fi thriller. Holden and Fred have a lead on Monica’s kidnappers, but when they find them, they are already dead. Tensions are high Fred wants to find the kidnappers first. As Holden and Fred leave her, she tells them both to wake up and is increasingly angry. Fred asks Monica if she saw the people who took her hostage, but her optics are not clear. Monica shows Holden and Fred footage of a violent entourage killing scientists and then shows an image of Paulo Cortazar - a scientist who used to work on protomolecule data Monica believes (based on her sources) that Paulo has been taken hostage to a research facility by a Belter strike team. “Mother” really drives through the emotional core of her story.

But there’s an emotional tone to her voice she clearly has different intentions than just finances. Drummer tells her crew that they need to find Marco next with the big bounty on his head - she believes the bounty will sustain them for years to come. Drummer and her crew board the ship, and there’s an eery stillness. She asks everyone to wake up as she wants to prepare for boarding.
