The episode was less clear about which characters had made it to that future. Earlier in the hour, a riot broke out on Mars between the Helios workers and security, leading Dani to get shot, but she miraculously survived and made it back down to Earth to reunite with her family. Meanwhile, Margo was arrested by the FBI for sabotaging NASA’s mission, and Ed’s declining health and his role in the riot left his future in question.
