Notes

• A direct sequel to the two Star Trek: TNG episodes “Unification I” and “Unification II“, bringing to a conclusion the plot lines set in motion in those episodes.
• The planet Vulcan is no longer called that in this time, it’s called Ni’Var.  This name was used previously as the name of a Vulcan ship in the Enterprise episode “Shadows of P’Jem“.
• The last time (as of Oct 2026) we see Leonard Nimoy’s incarnation of Spock on screen – via archive footage here.
• Also the only time that we have Ethan Peck & Leonard Nimoy’s incarnations of Spock in the same episode, although both via archive footage.
• Due to the fact that Burnham was adopted by Sarek, she’s classified as a resident of Ni’Var.
• Burnhams’ mother appears here, and it it said she belongs to a Romulan organization called the “Qowat Milat”.  This group had previously appeared in the Star Trek Picard episode “Absolute Candor”, which aired about 10 months before this episode in real time.
• The fifth of six appearances by Sonja Sohn as Gabrielle Burnham.
• The first of sixteen appearances by Tara Rosling as the Vulcan T’Rina.
