Cleveland knows the score, they are headed for the Starfleet big house, but he is single-minded, determined to ensure no one else suffers as he has with the loss of Kwejian. Theirs is clearly a crime duo of convenience, with Ruon’s mega-ego envisioning that after they pull off their plan, they’ll return to be greeted as Federation liberators. She already has an idea where Book may be headed: It’s off the beaten path where the Federation isn’t exactly welcome, but it (conveniently) is also where she can gather some 10-C locating star charts.Īs for Book and Tarka, the pair isn’t exactly hitting it off like Butch and Sundance. Plot twist! Vance pops over to the Disco to give Mike extra orders to get “creative” as she gathers data and hit two Tarkas with one ship. Easy peasy, except POTUFP thinks Cap Burnham is too close to the problem due to her past with Book, so she is given the secondary task of data gathering for Species 10-C to prep for first contact. A megalomaniac super-genius with access to huge resources-what could go wrong, right? But Chuck has a plan, revealing the MacGuffin of the week: isolynium, a rare black market substance Tarka is going to need for his big bomb. And the President is even more pissed because Tarka–we learn–was handpicked by Vance and allowed to work without any oversight. Picking up immediately after the mid-season finale, Admiral Vance is super-pissed Book and Tarka absconded with the super-classified prototype spore drive on a mission to build an illegal super-weapon to attack the DMA.

The Discovery tries to head to Talos IV, but the spore drive is mysteriously sabotaged - did you notice android crew member Airiam’s eyes flashing red? - so they’re forced to go the old-fashioned way and end up attracting the attention of Section 31 and Captain Leland. Meanwhile, the Talosians’ deep dive into Spock’s memories reveals that Spock only Vulcan neck-pinched that doctor, he didn’t murder her that he believes the Red Angel is a human time-traveler (!) who is coming back from the future to try and prevent nothing less than the eradication of all life as we know it (!!) and that young Burnham had to turn cruel to push Spock away, calling him a “weird little half-breed” before she ran off. (Side note: How great has Anson Mount been this season?) It’s only a projection, though, and Burnham and Spock join her to explain where they’ve been, and why he needs to get there quick. The Talosians offer to help Spock, but they’ll need to dig into his memories - and Burnham’s, of the time she pushed him away years ago.īack on the Discovery, Pike is still looking for Burnham and Spock, and gets an emotional visit from his former flame Vina.
