WARNING: If you don't want to know what happens in this episode, don't read this photo recap!

Things are getting tense at the U.N., as Errinwright has sent a black ops team to Tycho Station to investigate Fred Johnson's alleged stealth tech program … and plans to take out Holden via "random street violence" at Eros Station.

As if that isn't enough to deal with, Chrisjen receives word that her friend and colleague, Franklin DeGraaf, the former Ambassador to Mars, has taken his own life.

Meanwhile, Miller arrives at Eros Station, where he discovers that the Anubis 1A is registered to a "Lionel Polanski."

Unfortunately, Miller's aggressive persuasion tactics utilized to get this information from the dock master lands him in the slammer, from which he's bailed out by his old friend and colleague, Inspector Sematimba.

After 'Semy' sees just how dedicated Miller is to his dangerous cause, he gives him some new information: "Lionel Polanski" is the name Julie Mao used when she registered the Anubis 1A, and she's currently a guest at the Blue Falcon Hotel. Of course, we know "Lionel Polanski" is the name of the Scopuli survivor that Fred Johnson tasked Holden and crew with finding.

Meanwhile, the Rocinante has arrived at Chartered Belt Asteroid BA-834024112, where the crew finds an abandoned stealth ship … one that looks a lot like the one that "killed the Cant."

Upon exploring the vessel, the crew discovers that this is the Anubis, which, according to the navs, was headed for Eros … from Phoebe Station, where Lopez had found everyone dead.

And, per the blood on the airlock door, it's the ship on which we saw Julie Mao way back in Episode 1.

Speaking of Episode 1 … remember that glowing blue electrical spore-thing that Julie found in Engineering? Yeah, it's still here, though in a semi-dormant state thanks to the ship's power being turned off.

When Amos turns on the juice, it starts getting aggressive, prompting a quick return to the Rocinante …

… and destroying the Anubis via torpedoes. "Remember the Cant," Holden says as he watches the mighty ship go up in a nuclear fireball.

The next stop for the Rocinante? Eros, where Holden figures they'll find this "Lionel Polanski." Worlds collide in the lobby of the Blue Falcon Hotel, where Holden and the gang are ambushed by Errinwright's Black Ops team...

… and are rescued by Miller! "Sh** just follows you around, don't it, kid?" the former detective says to Holden with a cynical grin.
