Plotline
Burnham and Book visit the planet Alshain IV to ask them to rejoin the United Federation of Planets. They prove the Federation's intentions by helping to fix long-broken Alshain technology.
Book departs to his home planet, Kwejian, to participate in his nephew Leto's coming-of-age ceremony.
Burnham and the crew of Discovery attend the official reopening of Starfleet Academy, where they meet the new Federation president Laira Rillak. Starfleet receives a distress call from a space station near Kwejian, and Rillak accompanies Discovery to investigate. The space station has been sent spinning uncontrollably by an unknown gravitational distortion. Burnham decides to help evacuate its personnel herself. Rillak questions Burnham's decisions admitting later that she was observing Burnham as a potential candidate for a new assignment, however she has concerns about her approach.
On Kwejian, Book witnesses strange bird activity and flies off-world to investigate it. Very soon after the gravitational distortion appears near the planet and destroys it.
