Miller continues to lead Holden into the center of the mysterious ring and all the secrets that it holds. Apparantly it's ancient civilization tech, a people lost to time, but who's work still stands. Within the center of the ring holds the truth of everything that the protomolecule has lead to.
Inside the OPA war ship, there is a battle between two factions of the resistance group vying to be the true leader of the people, but for very different reasons: one reluctant and careful, while the other searching for glory and grandour.
Meanwhile the Reverand is dealing with an evolving mystery of the universe as presented by the uncertainty of the Ring.
They brought Bobbi back! But the Martian Marine is working with the UN, ordered to bring in Holden, as he is a new enemy.

Holden places his hand in the tech and sees everything!

The more answers we get, the more questions they open. I hate that and I love that at the same time.
I haven't read the books so this is pure speculation.
It seems they're going down the "ancient civilization gone extinct" road, with the sphere being some kind of "hub", numerous gates (we see a dozen of them in the first shot, then dozens more) being seen collapsing / going dark except for one at which the Nucleus fires a beam : what appears to be the Sol star goes boom. It'd be a bit weird to show the Sol system being seeminlgy destroyed as the vision is kind of a "rewind and play", maybe it's a warning to Humanity (like the speed limit inside the sphere being lowered after the grenade was used) ? The synopsis stating Holden sees past, present, and future. It's unclear if the gates closing down / going dark are a direct action of the proto-molecule or some kind of defense against a yet unnamed third-party (intergalactic war between two alien factions ?).
The reoccurence of the bird also seems to indicate that the one Miller saw on Ceres was already a protomolecule hallucination, maybe to guide him to Julie ?
To think there are three more episodes in the season... good thing it was picked up after SyFy dropped it. Maybe I should start reading the books ?
PS: the protomolecule really loves recycling humans.
