Episode Summary & Review

Summary

A new signal appears, prompting Stamets’ emotional return to the mycelial network and leading Burnham, Pike and Owosekun to a pre-warp planet, where they face a complex ethical dilemma. Tilly’s overeagerness lands her in trouble but when the planet – and Discovery’s landing party – are threatened, her curiosity may be the one thing that can save them.

Our Take

Very good — not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why Star Trek: Discovery works.
