While he’s there he goes to visit Clarissa Mao (Nadine Nicole) who he nicknamed Peaches.

Amos grew up in Baltimore, and had a traumatic childhood filled with abuse and exploitation. His mother died when he was young, and one of her friends tried to take care of him. His real name was Timmy, and he was born into a life of crime. Eventually he was put in a position where his boss ordered him to kill his friend Erich. His guardian Lydia helped him decide to spare his friend's life knowing that it would mean she would never see him again. Timmy took the new identity Amos Burton and left Earth for good. He became a mechanic and ended up working on the Canterbury where he met his future crewmates from the Rocinante.

Clarissa Mao was born a child of privilege as the daughter of Jules Pierre Mao. Her sister Julie rebelled against him, and ended up becoming infected with the protomolecule on Ceres station. When her father was put in jail for his crime Clarissa tried to avenge him. She traveled to the belt under the name Melba Koh, and got black market implants. Her plan was to humiliate and kill James Holden as she considered him to be responsible for what happened to their family. Her plan failed, but she redeemed herself somewhat by helping to save everyone on the Behemoth.

Amos was visiting Peaches in the Pit when the Rocks hit Earth in season 5. They were able to escape together, and for the moment she has escaped her life sentence. Amos and Peaches are both killers, they both made it out of a life sentence, and they both got to have a new life. Amos was taught that you can live a good life even if you aren’t a good person by Lydia, and has tried to help Clarissa in that same way. They make a great pair, and their relationship is one of the most interesting in the Expanse.
