Previously on Star Trek: Discovery...

DETMER: Commander, I can't get contro!

SARU: All decks prepare for impact!

(rumbling)

Lieutenant, get to sickbay.

POLLARD: Neurological tests are clear,

no concussion-- you're good to go.

What?

I said you're good to go.

CULBER: We made it through.

It was a pretty rough landing.

It's good to have you alive.

I'm experiencing some discomfort.

Yeah, you were impaled by a seven-inch shard

and put in a coma.

-(blipping) -Michael?

Saru, I landed here a year ago.

Nobody knows if The Burn was an accident

or a natural disaster, but I did find part of

a transmission from an obsolete Starfleet channel.

This is Admiral Senna Tal.

I will wait for any who would join us on Earth.

The Federation lives on.

Is he at Starfleet headquarters?

We will find Admiral Tal.

Senna Tal, the Starfleet officer you've been looking for?

I know him.

Young Adira has been joined with a Trill

-symbiont. -Trill?

A sentient life-form.

Once they join with a host,

that host has the ability

to access the memories of all former hosts.

Including Admiral Tal's.

It seems Adira has difficulty

accessing those memories.

She may carry knowledge of what remains of Starfleet.

CULBER: Medical officer's log, supplemental.

Our trip to Earth was eye-opening.

A reality check, such as reality is.

It's starting to hit everyone

just how little we have to hold on to.

The personal moments we use to define ourselves,

birthdays,

anniversaries, graduations,

funerals,

we've jumped past all of them.

They feel lost.

Disconnected.

I tell them I've been alone, I've been lost.

Both are survivable,

and surviving can become living again.

You know, if you ever needed to talk, I'm around.

I'm fine.

CULBER: But first, they have to accept help.

For a crew of overachievers,

that kind of vulnerability can be hard to hold.

Five words keep everyone going:

"When we find the Federation."

It's become a mantra for the crew.

In some cases, it seems to help.

All right.

In others...

...not so much.

Adira, who joined us from Earth, may be able to guide s

to Federation headquarters one she regains her own memoris

and those of her symbiont's former host, Senna Tal.

This mission could be a gift,

a reminder that we are and always will be connected

to something greater than ourselves: the Federation.

COMPUTER: Scan complete.

CULBER: Well, the good news is, she's perfectly healthy,

as is the symbiont.

SARU: Uh, should we be concerned it is wrapped around her heart?

no, it's protecting me.

Every critical system in my body is connected to Tal.

Wake up with a squid in your abdominal cavity,

you'll do your homework, too.

BURNHAM: So you still don't remember

how you got the symbiont?

What's the first thing you do remember?

I woke up in an escape pod a year ago

when that ship found me.

Before that, nothing.

Uh, Commander Stamets noted that you demonstrated

a surprising understanding of our ship's engineering grid,

a design about which you should have no knowledge.

Well, I can also speak seven languages

and cook a mean Bajoran hasperat.

I mean, have I always been a genius,

or do these skills belong to my squid's previous hosts?

Well, if it is your sym-- your squid--

then we should be getting the full picture.

So something is blocking your memories.

Like what?

Oh, there's no way to know.

There's no precedent.

So, we have two choices:

I can start digging around your hippocampus,

-hoping to find an answer... -Bad.

Bad.

Or we take you to Trill.

If you and the captain agree.

Adira, we have to be clear.

No one's ever seen a human host.

There's no way of knowing if the Trill will be able or willing

to assist you.

So I could go, and it could be a bust,

and no one gets what they need.

I don't get my memories, you don't get Senna Tal's message

and you never find Federation headquarters.

BURNHAM (whispers): Is there any way of knowing

if the Trill are as peaceful as they were

a millennia ago?

SARU: No. That is also a risk.

I can't keep living like this.

Not knowing who I am.

Let's go to Trill.

(original Star Trek theme plays)

Scans confirm no weapon energy signatures.

Nothing to indicate hostile intent.

Well, let us hope that remains the case.

Keep us at yellow alert.

Lieutenant Bryce, open a channel, please.

BRYCE: Yes, sir.

Ring any bells?

Does that planet look familiar?

Wish I could say yes.

All right, Captain, Trill Commissioner Vos

is responding to our hail.

Put him through, Lieutenant.

Welcome, Commissioner Vos.

I am Captain Saru of the USS Discovery.

Greetings, Captain Saru.

It's been many years since we've seen a Federation starship.

I trust our arrival is welcome?

Most certainly.

SARU: We have a host and symbiont

on board, uh, in need of medical attention.

We were hoping for your assistance.

Our symbionts carry our history.

And t-then the... The Burn.

The population was decimated.

To have a symbiont return home is a blessing.

Uh, we will send them down immediately

accompanied by our ship's medical officer.

We'll make preparations.

Thank you, Discovery.

Cancel yellow alert, maintain standard orbit.

Dr. Stamets.

I would like to talk to you about your jumps.

Second jump with no problems.

Fully recovered. I'm fine.

You were impaled with a spike and placed in a coma.

Yeah, but other than that, he's fine.

I can jump anytime.

The scarcity of dilithium has made the spore drive

immeasurably valuable.

We will need the ability to operate it

without you, Commander.

I researched the nonhuman interface

for nearly a decade before we discovered the Tardigrade

on the Glenn.

Yes, and there has been 932 years

of technological advancement since then.

We cannot risk becoming as limited

as every other ship in the galaxy

should you be once again incapacitated.

Of course, Captain.

Now, you and Ensign Tilly

are two of the finest minds on this ship.

I have every confidence you will find a solution.

So, look, I-I know now may not be the best time...

Um, what if we made a new interface

using a dark matter system?

Dark matter is comprised of subatomic particles

and the mycelial network is a subspace domain.

The prefix "sub" being the only morpheme

that even remotely connects those two ideas.

Yeah.

I... Well, I've run some preliminary calculations

using dark matter energy to-to pierce the subspace domain,

but if-- look-- you're not ready to talk about it, it's...

Look, this isn't about "Isn't science cool?"

It's about the lives of everything and everyone.

I know you're trying,

but please, don't waste my time.

-(door chimes) -Come.

Do you have a minute?

Please.

-You've been busy. -Mm.

It's everything I've managed to find on The Burn

in the last year.

So many missing pieces.

Oh, I just, I meant, your space used to be so, uh...

(laughs): Oh.

Empty?

Yeah.

Shouldn't you, uh, be headed to the shuttle now?

Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

I think you should be the one to take Adira to the surface.

Her memory loss isn't a medical problem.

She needs somebody to support her emotionally.

(inhales sharply)

Why do you think that's me?

Well, Adira's had almost everything she's depended on

stripped away.

I think you understand that.

I think you do, too.

Mm-hmm.

You know, there's a theory: post-traumatic growth.

That, uh, certain life events, um,

dying, time travel,

a year alone in a new future,

can inspire us to evolve,

to live our lives in a different way.

You're still in the process of all that,

but Adira's about to start.

I don't even know how to navigate

being on this ship right now.

And the people that I know and love,

I know what they want from me...

...but I can't even give it to them.

(laughs softly)

You know what I love about you most?

You're a responsibility hoarder.

-Yeah. -(chuckles)

I am working on it.

Your friends, your crew,

the future of every living thing in the galaxy, literally.

Even when you're struggling yourself.

ADIRA: I'm sorry, I just don't get why you're going with me.

You know less about me than I do, and that's saying a lot.

A year ago, you woke up with no memories

and I woke up with no past, and ten seconds

after I crash-landed out of the wormhole, I puked.

Okay, that's not exactly a confidence booster.

I bet.

Okay, um, look, maybe I should just go by myself.

-If you're good. -Oh, yeah, I'm good.

Okay.

COMPUTER: Attention, all crew.

Rotation assignments have ben posted and are...

Look, Dr. Culber's a pretty smart guy.

I've trusted him with my life, and I'd do it again.

And he thinks I should escort you.

Well, I like him.

So... you can come.

But, um, two things.

Wait. So you're saying you trust Dr. Culber

because you like him, not because he's a doctor?

Okay, look, I have a squid, and you threw up in a wormhole.

Things are pretty weird out here,

but human connection is at least one thing I understand.

Okay. Shoot.

Whatever happens out there,

I don't want to let anyone down.

You won't.

What's the second thing?

Oh, uh, don't say anything annoyingly inspirational.

That makes me nuts.

(laughs) Deal.

COMPUTER: Shuttlecraft Three, you are cleared for safety check.

CULBER: As requested, I've completed my analysis,

and all crew members are physically sound.

Y-You did not say "healthy."

Correct.

Well, but?

Stress hormone levels are off the charts.

If they were mice in a cage,

they'd be gnawing at their own tails.

So would you, by the way.

My tail and I appreciate your concern, Doctor.

However, I need to know how I can help this crew.

Perhaps a-a focus on duties or routine?

Under any other circumstances, those things might be helpful,

but... we're in uncharted territory,

and they know it.

Discovery could disappear tomorrow,

and it wouldn't make a ripple.

No one would miss us or mourn us.

They need to feel connected.

Yes.

♪ ♪

VOS: Welcome to Trill.

Uh, may I present Guardian Xi of our spiritual community

and Leader Pav.

BURNHAM: Thank you.

I'm Commander Michael Burnham,

and this is Adira.

Your captain said that you'd be bringing a symbiont and host.

Yes.

She is...

...human?

Yeah.

Uh, she is.

Please...

speak your names.

Um...

Adira.

Continue?

That's it. That's my name-- Adira.

VOS: You recall no other names?

Well...

I-I... I know Senna Tal, I guess.

She's unable to access the memories of her symbiont.

That's why we've come.

VOS: In 2,000 years, there hasn't been a single

recorded instance of a successful

joining between a symbiont and a non-Trill species.

It's a miracle this symbiont is still alive.

Well, I wouldn't let it die.

Uh, it's a part of me.

It's a part of you?

She has no idea. None.

Why don't you give us an idea?

She's an abomination.

They must be separated immediately.

We cannot. Forced separation could kill the host.

Oh, no.

No one is forcing anything.

We are not Federation members.

You have no jurisdiction here.

Trill law takes precedence.

Adira's life takes precedence.

Our apologies.

Every Trill longs to be a host.

Few ever receive the honor.

The Burn decimated our population,

particularly those capable of joining.

We no longer have enough viable hosts.

Adira could be our future.

If we could finally look beyond the Trill...

-Absolutely not. -Let us take Adira

to the Caves of Mak'ala,

where her symbiont might be able to communicate.

VOS: She will contaminate a sacred space!

-The symbiont is not hers. -Enough.

We've never forced a separation.

We will not start now.

However,

I agree that the joining is an aberration.

From what I'm hearing, this joining is a miracle.

Maybe the symbiont made the choice.

The memories that she's carrying

can help heal the entire Federation.

And Senna Tal wanted us to receive his message.

The longer she stays, the greater the challenge

to the only thing our species have left--

our ideals.

My decision is final.

You will leave Trill immediately.

(creatures squawking)

So, that's it?

They're just kicking us off their planet?

Don't say anything else.

This isn't the way to our shuttlecraft.

The symbiont belongs with us.

It is a part of her.

It is not your choice.

I'm making it my choice.

-(whirring) -(Burnham grunts)

(phaser firing)

Where are the caves?

-(phaser whirring) -Never.

-Fine. -(phaser fires, Vos grunts)

(gasps) Um, that...

That wasn't Federation protocol.

No, it wasn't.

-They'll be fine. -Michael?

-(phaser whirring) -Wait. Please.

Our society is on the brink of collapse.

Helping you gives us a fighting chance.

The caves are this way.

COMPUTER: The crew would benefit

from exercise, medication, limited dairy.

Oh, uh, beyond the standard parameters.

Yoga, hyperbaric chamber,

therapeutic coloring books, interstellar shopping.

Uh, I do not need an endless list of activities.

I-I... I need something meaningful to heal my crew.

(soft tone, chiming)

Computer?

COMPUTER: (chuckles) Hello.

Hello.

COMPUTER: Among many sentient beings,

laughter is both healing and meaningful.

Twentieth-century Earth comedians such as Buster Keatn

or Charlie Chaplin are communal unifiers

without the burden of language.

Buster Keaton?

COMPUTER: Also known as "The Great Stone Face."

Computer...

run a level ten diagnostic.

COMPUTER: I'm fully operational, thank you.

These connections are beyond the algorithm I presumed...

COMPUTER: Your crew requires what they used to call

R and R, Captain.

May I suggest switching the ship to auto-navigation

and giving them the night off?

The night off?

COMPUTER: May I also suggest simple gratitude?

A private meal, perhaps, with your bridge crew,

to demonstrate your appreciation.

Your choice, Captain.

The Sacred Caves of Mak'ala.

BURNHAM: This is incredible.

And you believe that Adira's symbiont would be able

to communicate with her here?

It's their ancestral home.

If not here, then where?

It feels...

safe.

We don't have much time. Vos will awaken,

and the commission will see that your ship is still here.

Okay, are you ready?

Say something inspirational.

Just don't make it annoying.

Uh, get in there before someone shoots us?

Okay.

Friends, please, come in. Come in.

Uh, sit, please.

I gave the rest of the crew the evening off to recuperate.

But I asked all of you here

because we work most closely

and have not had a moment.

In fact, we have lost quite a few.

Almost every culture has a ritual

that gathers its moments when it can,

holds them dear.

A time to take the measure of loved ones

and what we have all accomplished together.

(silverware clanks)

Ah.

Hmm.

We made a choice

a millennium ago

to follow Commander Burnham.

I will never forget what I heard

as I stood before each of you as you cast your vote.

It was not unlike...

a small prayer.

I ask that we repeat that now.

-Must we really? -Yes, we must.

-(scoffs) -Lieutenant Detmer,

do you remember what you said?

I said "Aye."

I said, "Aye."

-Aye. -Aye.

-Aye. -Aye.

-Aye, sir. -Aye. -Aye.

-Aye. -I never said "Aye."

But... I'm here.

(clears throat)

Aye.

ALL: Aye.

Is there any way the symbiont was joined with Adira

against her will?

A symbiont can't thrive in an unwilling host.

So the issue might be with Adira herself.

A repressed memory related to the joining, perhaps.

Whatever it is, she will need to face it.

(chuckles) It's not exactly my style.

Please... enter.

This is as new to us as it is to you.

We cannot know how your brain will process what you see.

The Mynh'ta Orb will allow us to track

her isoboromine levels.

As long as they are steady, she is safe.

If you find Senna Tal down there...

...his message is pretty vital.

I know.

Good luck, Adira.

She is now in communion.

LINUS: Is that droog-beetle pie?

(sniffs) Mmm.

What is going on between you two?

I don't know.

Nothing.

This reminds me of harvest on Kaminar.

Siranna and I would work from sunup

until after sunfall, gathering

and drying our seasonal kelp crops.

Our family would then

dine together under the full moon.

Kelp dries in the sun.

An existential crisis.

Is there some dessert?

Is that a haiku?

Yes.

CULBER: Emperor Georgiou.

Feasting on the finest cuts.

Snarfs cookies on the down-low.

-I screwed up the last line. -(all laugh)

No matter. Hear! Hear!

-Haiku? -Oh.

-I puked upon... -No. No.

...the Tellarite ambassador

once at Thanksgiving.

-(all groan) -Yeah.

It was an actual diplomatic crisis.

Okay, this is not what I want to hear at dinner. I mean,

-who raised you people? -Get Detmer to do one.

-No. No, I don't want to... -Come on.

-Try. Try. -DETMER: No.

Okay. (clears throat)

(Detmer exhales)

The drones can't get Stamets' blood

off the medbay floor...

No. Wait.

No one can clean Stamets' blood... (laughing)

(exhales) Okay, I've got it. I've got it.

No one can get Stamets' blood...

Oh, shoot. No, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

(laughs): Stamets' blood

is so red.

-Lieutenant. -No, I've got it now. I've got it.

-It's five, seven, five, right? -I don't think this is...

-It's a poem. -It's uncalled for.

-Officers. -My life is not a joke for the dinner table.

I wasn't trying to make a joke.

I was back at work

within a few hours of being injured.

We wouldn't have gotten anywhere near Earth if it weren't for me.

You're not the only one to move this ship.

I'm the pilot.

We move it.

-I never said it was just me. -DETMER: You think

you're the only essential personnel on this vessel.

Look at you. It's written all over you.

-Lieutenant. -DETMER: You want to fly this monster?

Actually be responsible for every single person

every single day, or do you just want to be

the when-he-feels-like-it superhero

and have everybody kiss your ass?

The reality is I'm the only one who can make the jumps.

I flew us into the future.

I landed this ship.

-I landed Discovery. -STAMETS: Yes,

-and we barely survived. -TILLY: Oh, my God.

Stop it! You guys are both acting like complete assholes.

-Ensign Tilly. -Why don't we all just take a breath?

You guys think you have the market cornered on pain?

All of our sacrifices,

all of our experiences

and our work, it matters.

The only way we're gonna

get through this is as a crew.

I have work to do.

PAV: Let her in.

Okay, what have you seen so far?

ADIRA: Watch it!

-What are those? -I don't know. They do that

if I stay in one place for too long.

Okay.

-It's happening. -Have they done that before?

Yeah, the threads are everywhere.

They keep coming after me.

-Let me try something. -Ow! What the hell?!

This place is responding to you.

You're here to connect with the symbiont.

And these threads...

they're trying to connect with you.

I don't understand. I...

It's the symbiont.

It-it wants you to remember. And these threads,

STAMETS: Uh, I've been wondering,

what did you learn in your spore drive research?

Oh, nothing. I was...

looking at dark matter and energy coefficients,

but the math didn't work, so...

A new interface using dark matter would be revolutionary.

We should keep talking about it.

Okay.

DETMER: Hey.

(clears throat)

Are you okay?

No. Obviously.

(exhales)

That was hard for me to admit.

For anyone.

And you're a pilot.

Pilots are, um...

-Macho. -Hmm.

I know.

Hmm.

That talk that you suggested,

maybe I could take you up on it?

Anytime.

COMPUTER: All available crew,

please report to shuttle bay for a surpris.

Hmm.

(music playing)

(laughter)

Yeah, okay.

It fills the room.

Joy?

Yeah.

We all had to stop pretending we were fine first.

We are not, are we?

How could we be?

But we'll get there.

And you pushed us closer.

Yeah. It was not pretty.

-It never is. -Hmm.

(laughter)

Good choice, Captain.

No. I wish I could take credit, Doctor.

This wasn't you?

Mm-mm.

I have a theory.

The sphere data was transmitted here for us to protect it.

It lives on within Discovery.

As we are now inextricably connected,

perhaps now it desires to protect us.

(laughter continues)

Senna knew the algorithm we need to find Federation headquarters.

I already did the math.

These coordinates...

They'll take you where you need to go.

Thank you.

♪ ♪

That's beautiful.

What is it?

It's, um, a lullaby.

I think Senna Tal's parents

used to sing it to him when he was a kid.

All the hosts, their memories are still coming to me.

I expect it'll take a while.

GRAY: Your bowing could use some work.

If you're gonna insult my musical ability

for the rest of my life...

You didn't tell her about me.

I'm not sure she'll believe me.

Pretty sure she will.

How are you here?

I-I don't know.

How is this supposed to work?

I don't know.

But like I said,

our bowing, we can do better than that.

Well, we'll keep practicing.
