Star Trek: Discovery
Season 01
S01E06 - Lethe
On his way to broker a peace deal with renegade Klingon houses, Sarek is injured when a “logic extremist” attempts to assassinate him. Burnham senses this through her telepathic link with Sarek and Lorca agrees to rescue him. Admiral Katrina Cornwell questions this decision and others that Lorca has been making. Burnham searches for Sarek in a shuttle with Tyler and her roommate, Cadet Sylvia Tilly. Burnham attempts to connect with Sarek’s mind, and finds him remembering the time that her application for the Vulcan Expeditionary Group was rejected. She learns that the VEG would only admit one of Sarek’s children, and he chose Spock, his half-human son. Spock ultimately chose to join Starfleet, rendering Sarek’s decision futile. Burnham helps him regain consciousness and activates a locator beacon. Lorca and Cornwell have sex, but she is concerned by his paranoid behavior and plans to remove him from command of Discovery. With Sarek unable to meet with the Klingons, Cornwell takes his place; however, the peace talks are actually a trap and she is taken captive.
