Starfleet sends the Discovery to get an up close look at the anomaly that destroyed Kwejian, but the crew finds only mysteries when they get there.
Starfleet ant the Federation are in crisis mode as they work to react to the gravitational anomaly that destroyed Kwejian and a Federation space station. Therefore, Discovery is sent to investigate what they believe to be binary black holes. However, that isn’t what they find when they arrive. Now the crew must act quickly to get the data they need to predict where the anomaly is headed next. Captain Michael Burnham must make a difficult decision on whether to allow Booker to take his ship in for a closer work. Fortunately, Saru is around to help her through the process.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The new uniforms for this season of Discovery,
- Saru and Michael Burnham’s relationship and Saru’s return to the Discovery,
- How the anomaly was not what the crew expected,
- Stamets and Booker’s mission to get scans of the anomaly,
- Tilly and Adira’s working relationship on the ship,
- Michael and Booker’s relationship and how it impacts the mission, and
- How the anomaly proved to be more dangerous than first thought.
