Notes
- This episode shows the Discovery jumping while cloaked. This contradicts a prior episode (“Su’Kal“) which says the ship can’t do that.
- The first appearance of Nhan since “Die Trying” (19 episodes prior). She makes two more appearances before the series is over.

situation. It turns into a game of cat & mouse with Burnham and Book. The two ships jumping in front of each other was indeed fun. I don't remember the end of this, but it feels like they're setting up Tarka to take the fall for all this. Also feels like there could have been more to this.

Also, this shot of Detmer gave me serious George Takei vibes. :)
