However , it quickly transpire that once inside the tower , there was no way of life out . design byDenobulan scientist Hitoroshi Kreel , the towers were designed to protect the Halem’nites from the penalize detritus storms that take place on their planet . Tilly and youthful beginner Ravah ( June Laporte ) became trap inside the vacuum chamber , meaning that they would suffocate to demise unless they were rescued .
The Denobulans were introduced inStar Trek : Enterprisevia the Enterprise NX-01 ’s Denobulan Dr. Phlox ( John Billingsley ) .

While it ’s definitely a breach of the Prime Directive , Burnham is still very careful not to demolish Ohvaz ’s beliefs , telling him that " Nothing we have bear witness you think of deity do n’t live " . Indeed , Burnham ’s seeking for life itself is validation of some higher power in theStar Trekuniverse . While Commander Rayner ( Callum Keith Rennie ) , Tilly , and Burnham all keen the inevitable ramifications , it seems potential that Dr. Kovich ( David Cronenberg ) will sweep off this breach of the Prime Directive in favor ofDiscovery ’s Red Directive mission .
There is a Prime Directive elision to allow repairs to existing " contamination " as long as it does n’t interfere with the innate growing of the public , which is in effect what Burnham did on Halem’no .

Dr. Culber Is Coming To Terms With His Experience On Trill
Culber’s had a “thrilling” spiritual awakening.
Dr. Culber ’s spiritual wakening has been one of the most interesting plot line inStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , as it challenges the franchise ’s stance on religion . The clangoring betweenStar Trek ’s rationalism and Culber ’s spiritualism is exemplified by his discussions with a holograph of his Abuela ( Maria del Mar ) , a religious woman who get up Hugh to be a man of scientific discipline . However , after spend the sequence try on to come up a scientific explanation , Culber instead realizes that there is n’t one , and that his mind is or else opened up to raw possibility and something larger than himself .
At the end ofStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , episode 6 , Dr. Culber hash out his newfangled awakening with Book , who acknowledges that it " sounds kind of wonderful" . Book advises Culber not to be so concerned that his husband , Commander Paul Stamets ( Anthony Rapp ) does n’t quite infer Hugh ’s new view . Reflecting on Culber ’s state of affairs as a Kwejian , Book help Hugh come to term with it by sharing an notice of human relationship , and the compulsion with sharing a personal passion with a partner :
" It ’s an uneven quirk , really , this human trend to conceive something less meaningful if it ’s just for yourself . "
Wilson Cruz baffle to toy a different character in Star Trek : Discovery season 5 , and he absolutely nail the carrying out as an 800 - year - honest-to-god Trill .
Will Book And Michael Get Back Together In Star Trek: Discovery Season 5?
“One answer at a time, Doc”
To return the party favour , Dr. Culber tries to get Book to open up up about his time out - up with Michael at theend ofStar Trek : Discoveryseason 4.It ’s been clear throughoutDiscoveryseason 5 that Book and Burnham still have feelings for one another , but they ’re yet to act upon them . Michael got a monitor of how well-chosen they were in " Face the Strange " when she time traveled back to an early point in their relationship . In " mirror " , their family relationship was a expression of that between Moll and L’ak , and there was a strong sensory faculty of Burnham and Book still being a capital squad .
Dr. Culber quizzes Book about Burnham at the end ofStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , installment 6 , seeing through Booker ’s front . ask whether he suppose he can get back what he once had with Michael , Book just replied " One question at a fourth dimension , Doc " , proving that affairs of the heart can be even more complex than the search for the Progenitors ' treasure . As Book is still set to get through to Moll after the event of " Mirrors " , his " sister " could still allow for a major stumbling closure for a amatory reunion between Burnham and Booker inDiscoveryseason 5 .
Discovery Is Taking A Detour To Deal With Moll And L’ak
The USS Locherer just found Moll and L’ak.
At the beginning ofStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , episode 6 , " Whistlespeak " , Burnham is ordered by Dr. Kovich to forget aboutMoll and L’akand focus on the next clue . By the ending of the sequence , Federation Headquarters inform the USS Discovery that Moll and L’ak have been located by the USS Locherer . This feels suspicious given Kovich ’s insistence that Burnham focus on her Red Directive mission and forget all about go after Moll and L’ak . It remains to be seen if the USS Discovery is about to enter a trap or instead engage in another dire attempt to bestow Moll and L’ak on side .
The title ofStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 , installment 7 , " Erigah " , is a reference to the Breen blood premium placed on Moll and L’ak by Primarch Ruhn ( Tony Nappo ) . It ’s likely , therefore , that the translation of the Betazoid clue will be taking a backseat in the next episode , as Burnham and the gang regard with the ramification of a Breen blood bounteousness . As the Discovery crew is so unaired to the stopping point business line with the Progenitors ' treasure there could be no worse time to lock the Breen asStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 go on .
