Logline
When Captain Burnham is trapped within a “mindscape” designed to test her worthiness to retrieve the Progenitor’s powerful technology, Book, Rayner, and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery must hold off the Breen long enough for her to escape.

I thought the “challenge” was a little on the obvious side, but then it’s the sort of thing that would be obvious to someone not undergoing it.
Book’s reaction to the Kweijian artifact was probably David Ajala’s best work on the series so far, really great stuff.
Moll usurped the Primarch perhaps a little too easily, but I like Eve Harlow’s performance enough that I really don’t care.
Lastly, it’s a small thing, but I thought the Badlands looked really great. They finally seem as hellish as they’ve always been described.
