"Legacy" is the eight episode of the fourth season of For All Mankind. It was released on Apple TV+ on December 29, 2023.
Plans are made with interplanetary ramifications. Ed begins working with an unexpected partner.
Sergei Nikulov is living in Iowa under the name "Sergei Bezukhov" and works as a physics teacher at the local high school "Spiro T. Agnew High School". He is seemingly enjoying his new life together with his new wife Muriel. He overhears Margo Madison's defection speech on TV and watches it with shock. Muriel, who is unaware of her husband's connection to Margo, comments on how surprising it is that Margo survived and defected. Later, while reading the newspaper, Sergei sees that she will be returning to Houston as part of the Goldilocks capture mission. At work, he is heavily distracted by the news, and one morning, instead of driving to the school, he impulsively turns south towards the interstate.
At Happy Valley, Miles Dale is still running the bar and his smuggling business, while Edward Baldwin and Samantha Massey talk in the bar about Dev Ayesa. Ed argues for Samantha to meet with Dev and listen to what he has to say. Palmer James and members of the new security detail enter and shut down the bar, citing the M-7 charter on contraband. Miles insults Palmer who brushes him off. Ed and Samantha leave, while other Helios workers can be seen being stopped for security checks. They discover that the lower levels of the base are being sealed off, both by the elevators being hardwired and the access doors being welded shut, as retribution for the strike.
Ed and Dev arrive in Ed's quarters and are surprised to find Kelly Baldwin and her son Alex in his room. Ed has forgotten that he promised to look after Alex, while Kelly travels to the Korolev crater as part of her S.E.E.K.E.R. program. Kelly and Ed discuss parenting techniques, before Ed agrees to look after him. Before Kelly leaves, Alex asks if she will be coming back, which she confirms. Ed and Dev decide they need a babysitter.
Eli Hobson meets with Margo in her office at the Cobb Space Center, where she has both a US Marine and Soviet agent as a security detail at her door. Eli offers to walk her to the conference room for a meeting on the Goldilocks capture mission. On their way, they run into Nuri Prabakar and Margo greets her and congratulates her on her new position as project manager, but Nuri responds coldly. Eli tries to write it off as her being busy.
The capture mission is discussed in three locations: The conference room in Houston, the Ops-Comm room at Happy Valley, and in a secluded room in the lower levels of the base. In Houston, Eli Hobson asks Margo to present the plan to other members of NASA, Helios, and the M-7. At Happy Valley, commander Danielle Poole explains the mission to her team leaders, while at the lower deck, Dev is briefing his co-conspirators Ed, Samantha, Gerardo Ortiz, and Veronica Hunt.
Margo explains that they will need to have Ranger burn for 20 minutes to slow down the asteroid to allow it to use a gravity assistW from Mars and redirect it towards Earth orbit. Due to the lack of computing power at Happy Valley, everything will be calculated on Earth and then uplinked to Happy Valley, who will then relay it to the spacecraft. Meanwhile, Danielle presents the plan to her crew and also explains that the relay will be sent via a satellite in Martian orbit, which will send the burn orders to a discriminator box on board Ranger, and if Ranger does not receive the correct encryption it will refuse the burn. In the secluded room, Dev explains his plan to steal Goldilocks, by burning 25 minutes instead of only 20, which will slow down the asteroid enough to fall into permanent orbit around Mars. The conspirators begin discussing how to hijack the signal and ensure that Ranger burns for the correct amount of time. They agree to build their own version of Ops-Comm, and for Samantha to change out the discriminator box onboard Ranger. Although Samantha has reservations about doing so, due to the risk involved, as well as the belief that she will not be part of the crew after the strike. However, at the M-7 team meeting to set the final crew, Dev manages to ensure that she is kept on the crew. Dani leaves it to Ravi Vaswani, the commander of Ranger, to decide. Ravi argues that her experience from the Kronos capturing mission could be helpful. Dani agrees saying that Samantha's heart was in the right place and it would be a gesture of good will, but sends Palmer on the mission to keep an eye on her regardless.
