In a storyline move that should never have been contemplated, Salvation's writers have one of Re/Syst's leaders (this terrorist group have taken over the DC office of Tanz's company; these faceless malefactors have about 14 nuclear warheads pointed at various world cities) working on a plan to deal with the asteroid. Naturally, Liam was conscripted to work with these weaponized hacktivists, along with other scientists. Very little is getting done, though.
This terrorist in question is one of Tanz's ex-girlfriends. I shook my head as this poor excuse of a plot twist came into view.
Needless to say, the parting was NOT amicable, and this woman and Liam have been squabbling almost non-stop about Darius and his egomania, furtive machinations and general professional malfeasance for two or three episodes. In the hands of better writers, there might be some humor to be found here. Or some non-soap opera tension.
What I see is contrived relationship melodrama, while the main focus of the show (the asteroid and the planet's impending doom) is left in the background.
If there is to be some character development during this existential crisis, it should be smarter than this. With less histrionics. Possibly some short flashbacks to Tanz before this point, when he was not Elon Musk with three o'clock shadow.
Enough with Grace's shooting of Rayburn and her guilt over this act. Her trial for shooting the evil harridan in self defense should occur... but AFTER the asteroid is destroyed/moved/turned into the StayPuft guy, like in Ghostbusters.
Go back to Grace's first days in the Pentagon, spending time with her father.
Show Harris playing poker in the military, and cheating his squad members. Any of this would be better than what I just watched.
