J’Vini, a Romulan citizen of Ni’Var and nun of the Qowat Milat order, attacks several Starfleet ships to steal rare dilithium crystals. In one robbery, she kills an officer. Starfleet Admiral Charles Vance reveals this to Burnham, Ni’Var President T’Rina, and Burnham’s mother, Gabrielle, who is a member of the Qowat Milat. Rillak does not want to pursue J’Vini without T’Rina’s guidance since Ni’Var is on the verge of negotiating its re-entry to the Federation. Gabrielle believes J’Vini has found a lost cause to fight for, and joins Burnham on a mission to arrest her. They find J’Vini on what appears to be a barren moon but is actually a massive starship holding refugees in suspended animation. Unable to wake them, J’Vini stole the dilithium so she can move the ship out of the path of the anomaly. Burnham arrests J’Vini, but helps wake the refugees and move their ship. Meanwhile, Stamets and Book travel to Ni’Var to parse the data on the anomaly, which Stamets has nicknamed the DMA (Dark Matter Anomaly). They do not learn what it is, but T’Rina helps Book relive memories of Leto which brings him some comfort.
