In 'For All Mankind' Season 2 Episode 2, we saw Edward Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman) spend a lot of time with Gordo Stevens who is finding it hard to move on after he hears about his ex-wife Tracy's marriage to Sam Cleveland on national television. While he doesn't let it show, he is struggling to adjust to life on Earth as a single parent and a former astronaut who rests on his past laurels. What is worse is that the war stories that he recalls for his audiences on stage are not even true.

We also saw how Edward, Gordo and Danielle Poole (Krys Marshall), who were all together on a mission before Danielle had to escort Gordo back on the moon 10 years ago get together for a drink and the 'Hey Bob' takes us back to the reruns that Gordo and Danielle would even play-act while bored on the moon.

That is when Danielle confesses to both Gordo and Edward that she wants to go back. This comes after Edward asks her how she is doing following the death of her husband Clayton who was suffering from depression after having served in the Vietnam war. In fact, one of the reasons Danielle was able to understand Gordo's struggle was because she had seen Clayton go through the same.

Speaking of why she wants to return, Danielle says she "is "tired of talking about the good old days with astronauts" so she wants to go back to Jamestown after nine years. She did not return after the fiasco of rescuing Gordo from breaking down on Moon and she now wants to suit up." Edward asks her if she is sure and promises to put in the necessary paperwork.

However, his decision to send Gordo along is not something that was expected. Turns out Edward took the decision on his own without consulting Gordo regarding the same in the hopes of seeing Gordo move on from Tracy and be happy like he used to be. Gordo, however, is certain that he will not be able to return to the moon. He voices this out to Edward as well, but what happens instead is that Edward claims he will be the one to decide "who goes up there".

'For All Mankind' season 2 episodes will release every Friday on Apple TV+.
