Plotline
Book becomes numb from grief following the loss of his entire planet and family, and is haunted by hallucinations of Leto.
Stamets explains to Rillak and Starfleet Command that the destruction of Kwejian was caused by an unprecedented gravitational anomaly that urgently requires further investigation. Saru returns to serve as Burnham's first officer, and they jump to a safe distance outside of the anomaly. Initial readings of the anomaly disprove some of their theories. Book volunteers to fly his ship into the it to learn more. Burnham is convinced to let Book try, and he is ultimately successful. During this time, the anomaly inexplicably changes direction and causes damage to the Discovery, leaving them unsure where it will go next and what impact this will have on other planets.
Book later begins to open up to Burnham about his grief.
Meanwhile, Dr. Hugh Culber and ensign Adira Tal help transfer the consciousness of Adira's deceased boyfriend Gray into a synthetic body, using technology that was previously used to transfer the mind of Jean-Luc Picard into an android body.
