Emperor Georgiou’s condition continues to deteriorate, and Dr. Culber, with new information from Kovich and the ship computer has a longshot solution to her problem. It will require a trip to the planet Dannus Five, which to Saru’s surprise, Admiral Vance authorizes. Once they arrive on Dannus Five, Michael escorts Georgiou to the surface and the find a strange door with an out-of-place gentleman sitting nearby. Through the door is Georgiou’s future, past, and possibly her salvation as she returns to the Mirror Universe.
