Turns out there was too much juicy goodness in the Star Trek Discovery season finale "Such Sweet Sorrow Part 2" that we needed to break this second part up into two additional parts.

If last episode was largely a setup for the finale, than this is.. well. This is another setup for the finale. That's not to say it doesn't have some great moments! Burnham has a few poignant goodbyes, we see another Short Trek come into play with the arrival of her Serene Highness Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po, everyone figures out that future Michael Burnham is sending the red signals, and Pike says goodbye to the crew of the Discovery.

Michael Burnham repairs relationships with the men in her life, but the unexpected return of a woman into her life is really messing with her head. One woman that doesn't seem like she's going to return to Burnham's life? Airiam cuz they just dumped her out into space.

Even though Discovery went rogue just last week, "Project Daedalus" has them teaming up with a Starfleet admiral to cause a ruckus. This time they're heading over to that troublesome Section 31 to depose the Logic Extremist at the top. As happens from time to time in the Star Trek universe, things don't turn out to be exactly as they seem.
