On the season two finale of Star Trek: Lower Decks, the U.S.S. Cerritos joins the U.S.S. Archimedes in making first contact…just a planetoid explodes.
The season two finale for Lower Decks is here! Captain Freeman has proven herself to Starfleet and is on the cusp of getting a promotion to another ship. However, this is not common knowledge amongst the crew. Her daughter, Beckett Mariner, overhears news of the promotion and spreads it to the bridge officers just as the U.S.S. Cerritos is departing to aid in a first contact mission. The hurt feelings of the crew caused by Captain Freeman’s impending departure must wait as disaster strikes the first contact mission. Can the crew pull together to save the day and complete the first contact mission? Join us for this episode of Warp Trails as we dive into the season finale.
