The Expanse Season 5 Episode 7 Recap
In the episode titled ‘Oyedeng,’ Holden and Alex exchange communication as they learn shocking news from each other. Alex and Bobbie are informed about Naomi’s capture, whereas Holden and his team discover the extent of Marco Inaros’ firepower as he has Martian warships in his naval fleet. The plan is to retrieve the Protomolecule, which they believe is aboard the Zmeya. Just as Holden and his team close in on Zmeya, the ship explodes right in front of their eyes.
Tension builds up between Naomi and Marco as Filip seems to let his guard down with Naomi. This results in Filip feeling torn between his mother and father as he struggles to establish his identity. Naomi and Marco exchange heated words as they look back at why Naomi left him and the family. Cyn is dragged further into their family drama as he admits to Naomi the role he played in Marco Inaros’ plans in the past, especially in connection with Filip.
Marco decides to let Naomi go back to her ship, but there is a catch. They plan to use her ship as bait for the Roci so that Marco Inaros can destroy it. Naomi is distraught with this, especially when she learns that Filip “inspired” the idea. She begs Filip not to go through with the plan but is shocked when he strikes her face and blames her for poisoning him against his family.
The episode ends with the drastic step Naomi takes out of desperation. She is at the door of the airlock when Cyn finds her and begs her not to step out as he tries to assure her that he can fix things with Marco. However, Naomi has made up her mind and jumps out of the airlock with an injection in hand. She plans to get back into her ship, which Marco detaches from the Pella. Although she makes it to her ship, Cyn is also exposed to the open atmosphere in space due to Naomi opening the airlock. Filip watches in shock as he sees Naomi floating away in space.
