Entitled “Coming Home”, For All Mankind Season 3 Ep9 ramps up the resolutions of certain plot threads as well as bringing others closer to a head in this penultimate season 3 episode. 5 months have elapsed since the previous episode and on Mars, the focus is on Kelly’s pregnancy and figuring out how the survivors will be able to return to The Phoenix. Somehow, Danny Stevens continues to remain guiltless from the landslide – he was solely responsible – but nobody seems to call him out on this. Stevens will continue to be a ticking time bomb though.
