Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The U.S.S. Discovery crew journey to a mysterious planet in hopes of finding a cure for Georgiou’s deteriorating condition. Stamets and Adira make a stunning breakthrough with the newly acquired Burn data.
Our Take
This is basically a Michelle Yeoh showcase, and she’s great in it, though the mirror universe detour feels like a lot of setup for a payoff we haven’t gotten yet. The Stamets and Adira subplot is more promising, finally pushing the season’s big mystery forward. Worth watching for Yeoh alone, but expect part two to do the heavy lifting.
