Let's just FF to the beautiful center piece of this episode...
On the UNN flagship Agatha King, after receiving the comms that show Erinwright was involved in a conspiracy, Admiral Souther relieves Fleet Admiral Nguyen of command and broadcasts all this to both fleets. He is then executed by the fleet admiral, which is heard loud and clear by both fleets.
After the execution, two UNN ships rebel and start disengaging from the area. Nguyen, being an arrogant idiot, fires on one of them and destroys it. Like pouring gasoline on a flame, that just causes an all out melee to break out on the bridge and between the remaining UNN ships as they choose sides. When all is said and done, unfortunately Nguyen is left standing, well limping, with only two other officers alive. Several of the UNN ships even fire upon the Agatha King, which swats the attacks aside easily.
The MCRN fleet announces that it is remaining out of the fight but will render aid and assistance if called upon. Incensed, Nguyen launches the hybrids from the base on Io against the MCRN fleet, as a shocked Holden and crew look on.
What an episode with one hell of a cliffhanger!
