WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for the first three episodes of The Expanse season 5. Read at your own risk.
The Expanse season 5 episode 4 is coming out next week on Amazon Prime Video. The sci-fi series dropped its first three episodes this week, setting up what's coming next to Earth and other characters. Here is what fans can anticipate moving forward.
The Expanse season 5 episode 4 picks up where the first three episodes left off. The Earth is not in a good condition following the asteroid strike at the end of episode 3. Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo) has warned people about the potential threats, but no one listened to her.
Marco Inaros (Keon Alexander) is the biggest problem at the moment. His plans are dangerous, and he thinks he is powerful and stronger than other Belters. He is out there, preparing to cause chaos, and it could put everyone in grave danger.
The Earth's current situation is going to be a major plotline in The Expanse season 5 episode 4. Also, this is a chance to learn more about Chrisjen and what else she can do to save other people. Amos Burton (Wes Chatham) could play a role in this episode, as well.
Since he's spending most of his time on Earth, he could be a way to find out how's everyone is coping with what happened to the planet. Right now, everything that's happening is seemingly connected to Marco, including Naomi Nagata's (Dominique Tipper) search for Filip Inaros (Jasai Chase).
She attempted to locate her son, but her plans went awry. Camina Drummer (Cara Gee), on the other hand, has her sites on Marco. It's apparent that she's going after him for revenge, even though she claims that it's not. More things will unfold in The Expanse season 5 episode 4.
A lot of questions were also left for other characters, such as what happened to Alex Kamal (Cas Anvar) and Bobbie Draper (Frankie Adams) on Mars, and what is James Holden's (Steven Strait) plan at the Tycho Station. The current installment is still on its early run, but it is already delivering many intense stories.
The Expanse season 5 episode 4 will be airing on Wednesday, Dec. 23, on Amazon Prime Video. Instead of dropping all of its episodes at once, the streaming platform opted for a weekly release just like what they did in the superhero series The Boys season 2.
