The Expanse Season 6 Episode 2 sees Avasarala bringing a big plan into motion that could change the dynamics of the war. Watching the earth suffer has made Marco realize the power he holds over them now. But he shouldn’t be blinded by the same as Rocinante spent time investigating the rocks that Marco has been hurling on the earth recently on the premiere of season 6. For a total of six months, Earth is facing Marco’s wrath while Rocinante kept fighting some of the Free Navy belters.
On the premiere of season six, the Earth started suffering heavily with predictions of the fall of its biosphere. Producing food has been a mess as well. At this point, Earthers were feeling what once Belters felt. Instead of administrating the Belters, Marco was busy holding the power. Rocinante on their side came across one of the rocks that has drive behind it. A cue that may suggest how these rocks are coming at the earth would give them a hint on defeating Marco. Here is what went down.
The Expanse Season 6 Episode 1 Recap
Previously on The Expanse Season 6, Earthers were still facing the havoc of Marco. The rocks from space are still hurling at the planet disrupting the environment. Meanwhile, the Rocinante crew is on its way to investigate the similar rocks as they have been battling the Free Navy Belter ships for months now.
