Aleida, meanwhile, makes her way to Margo’s office to find that it’s been blown away, and Margo is gone. Margo sets about helping get people out-her lack of sight finally coming in handy as she guides people to freedom through the smoke. A wall of sound and flame rips through the NASA headquarters. She gets Jimmy out and goes to sound the alarm when it goes off. On Earth, Karen finds the bomb that Jimmy’s friends placed. As his craft slams into the group, his fate seems tenuous. Ed, meanwhile, hurtles back toward the Martian surface. Kelly pushes toward Phoenix and makes it to safety. She retires to her office, handing the reigns to Aleida and accepting her fate. After years of dedicating herself to the space program, she knows her time is at an end. Inside, Margo makes her final mission speech. But one last time, Karen comes to his rescue. Jimmy realizes too late that he’s made a mistake. Ostensibly he’s at NASA because of Danny, but really he’s there because of his bad decisions and the people he threw in with. Karen pushes on to NASA, seeking to observe as Ed tries to get their daughter to safety. Dev vows to win his company back, his relationship with Karen fractured.
Dev is out at Helios and Karen is set to be the new CEO. Dev passionately disagrees, but the board sides with Karen. Karen (Shantel VanSanten) comes up with a plan to sell Phoenix to NASA, cutting their losses to regroup. His company is reeling and while he wants to push forward, the board does not. Dev (Edi Gathegi), like Icarus, soared too close to the son. Meanwhile, back on Earth Helios is crumbling. Though his admission is greeted with anger, he feels a sense of freedom. It’s the ending that’s been coming for Danny for most of the season. That when all is over, and Kelly is safe, there will be a reckoning. He tells Danny he can’t find absolution in volunteering for this mission. He finally admits his role in the drilling accident, something that enrages Ed. Instead, Danny admits that he needs this to atone. He thinks Danny is afraid for him, but Ed knows he must do this as a father. A Painful AdmissionĪs Ed prepares for what looks like a potential suicide mission, Danny begs to be the one to go. He asks for a little guidance, which opens the door for Molly Cobb’s (Sonya Walger) return to NASA. It’s a risky mission, which Ed will pilot. Aleida is able to then focus and comes up with a crazy, albeit possible, plan to get Kelly all the way there. She pulls Aleida aside and assures her it’s OK, no matter what. Margo knows that her fate is weighing on her protégé. It’s ironic, given Margo’s situation, and means they will once again be close but not close enough to get their happy ending. Margo gets the news that Sergei (Piotr Adamcyzk) has been rescued by America and will be brought, with his family, to live in the states permanently. They offer her a way out-if she’s willing to flee. Margo, meanwhile, was warned by the Russians that she’s under investigation. She is consumed with thoughts of Margo’s fate. The problem is, Aleida (Coral Pena) can’t focus. To a man, the crew on Mars agrees to stay and await a second mission to bring them home-meaning years trapped on the surface of Mars-while the combined NASA and Helios teams on the ground work on a creative solution to bridge the gap and get Kelly all the way. With the card in place, the only challenge is not having enough fuel to break the atmosphere or carry everyone up to Phoenix for the ride home. They subdue him and bring him back to the Helios base, where we learn Ed Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman) actually speaks Korean. He is weary of Poole and Kuznetsov, believing they mean to assault his base. His co-pilot died, so for months he toiled alone, unable to contact home. Lee) who was actually the first to land on Mars. Except, as Danielle Poole (Krys Marshall) and Commander Kuznetsov (Lev Gorn) learned, it wasn’t a probe.Īs the episode begins, we see the story of the North Korean astronaut (C.S. That means retrieving it from a nearby North Korean probe. Of course, one of those hiccups is getting the right part. But there continue to be issues with the craft meant to carry them. She is near to giving birth and HAS to get off the planet. On Mars, everyone is rallying around Kelly (Cynthy Wu). They can’t all make it forward, and this finale, like the finales before, saw that not everyone will make it home. This final episode of the season brought those decisions-as well as the decisions made by Margo (Wrenn Schmidt)-home to roost. Both have struggled with rage and grief, and both have made catastrophic decisions they can’t walk back. As we’ve launched forward into the 1990s, it isn’t easy for their sons, Danny (Casey W. It wasn’t for Gordo (Michael Dorman) and Tracy (Sarah Jones), though they got their heroic ending in the Season 2 finale. “You’ve gotta keep your eye on the horizon…”- Molly Cobb
