Windmills: Season 1, Episode 7
10 of 18Meanwhile, on Earth, Chrisjen Avasarala traverses the snowy Farming Collective of the Montana/North American Trade Zone, where she visits Holden's mother, Elise. Chrisjen is struggling with the possibility that Holden may be responsible for the destruction of both the Canterbury and the Donnager and needs to know him as a person before labeling him as a terrorist.

11 of 18Through Elise (Frances Fisher), we learn of Holden's upbringing. Holden was conceived by what Chrisjen calls a "cult of political extremists" as a trick for eight people to claim generational land rights. Raised to one day take over the farm, 'Jimmy' prepared to defend and keep his family's legacy, told by his mother that "the land needed him" … until the day before his 18th birthday, when Elise suddenly told him to "run."

12 of 18Upon leaving the farm, Chrisjen contacts Errinwright and tells him that while Holden definitely has mommy issues and problems with authority, he's almost definitely not a terrorist mastermind. However, Errinwright tells her that he's already activated a black ops team to take Holden out, based on her spy's report that he's headed for Eros (he isn't, but Errinwright doesn't know that) on a converted MCRN gunship with fake transponder codes supplied by OPA bigwig Fred Johnson (yeah, that part is true).

13 of 18Where did Errinwright get this intel? From the stowaway aboard the Rocinante, Kenzo Gabriel, whom we saw spying on Holden and Naomi back on Tycho. Amos discovers him (and roughs him up) in a crawlspace, where he's broadcasting a radio transmission.

14 of 18Upon being brought up to the ops deck, Kenzo reveals he's a consultant for Davila Aerospatiale who's been stealing code and tech from Tycho Station for two years. He's also, of course, the spy whom Chrisjen "borrowed" from Davila to keep an eye on Fred Johnson.

15 of 18Much to Amos' chagrin, Kenzo ends up being handy when the Rocinante is approached by a Martian boarding skiff. Kenzo informs the crew that being a former Martian gunship, the Rocinante should have a series of code words that tell other Martian ships that they're involved with covert ops, and to back off.

17 of 18As the Rocinante continues on its course to the last known coordinates of Lionel Polanski (the survivor of the Scopuli, the ship whose distress signal got Holden & Co.'s ship blown up), Holden tells Naomi to get a leash on the increasingly volatile Amos or he's off the ship on the next port.
