And just like that we’ve warped past the first half of the final season of Star Trek: Discovery.

In episode six, “Whistlespeak,” which opens the second half of the season this week, while undercover in a pre-warp society, Captain Burnham is forced to consider breaking the Prime Directive when a local tradition threatens Tilly’s life. Meanwhile, Culber tries to connect with Stamets, and Adira steps up when Rayner assigns them a position on the bridge.

“Whistlespeak” was written by Kenneth Lin and Brandon Schultz, who also cowrote season three’s “The Sanctuary.” Lin also wrote “There Is A Tide…” that season. The latest episode drops this Thursday, May 2, on Paramount+. In the meantime, check out the photos below.
