In the trailer, we see Burnham taking Captain Lorca as a prisoner to the ISS Charon and to deliver him to the waiting Emperor Georgiou. But her emotions and feelings for Georgiou are causing Burnham some internal conflict.
Meanwhile, Tyler has taken a turn for the worse with his mental health. Saru reaches out to L’Rell to help but she appears to be unphased and unconcerned by Tyler’s condition.
