Star Trek: Discovery
Season 04
S04E02 - Anomaly
Book becomes numb from grief following the loss of his planet and family, and is haunted by hallucinations of Leto. Science officer Paul Stamets explains to Rillak and Starfleet Command that the destruction of Kwejian was caused by an unprecedented gravitational anomaly that requires further investigation. Former Discovery captain Saru returns to serve as Burnham’s first officer, and they jump to a safe distance outside of the anomaly. Initial data disproves some of their theories, and Book volunteers to fly his ship into the anomaly to learn more. Burnham is convinced to let Book carry out the mission, and he is ultimately successful. During this time, the anomaly inexplicably changes direction and causes damage to the Discovery, leaving them unsure where it will go next and what impact this will have on other planets. Book later begins to open up to Burnham about his grief. Meanwhile, Dr. Hugh Culber and ensign Adira Tal help transfer the consciousness of Adira’s deceased boyfriend Gray into a synthetic body, using an uncommon technology that was previously successful for Jean-Luc Picard.
