Episode Summary & Review
Summary
A Romulan defector leads the Enterprise into a confrontation that could erupt into war.
Our Take
A tense, well-built hour that trades space battles for psychological chess, and mostly wins doing it. James Sloyan brings real weight to the defector, and the slow-burn uncertainty over whether he’s telling the truth keeps you guessing until the final standoff. The ending lands with a satisfying click rather than a bang. Worth your time.
