Finally a middle episode that also contains some conclusions bits! The Klingon war is all but solved. And finally some of the strange stuff about spore jumping pays off, in the last 20 seconds of the episode! But still overall decent episode. I admit I got behind on my reviews and watched the next episode before writing this review, but I settled on my score at the time.
Lorca is up to his usual ignoring Starfleet game and decides they have to save a peaceful species they messed around with last episode to save the war or something. But he at least pretends to follow the order to return to the star base. Lorca has a plan to analyze the Klingon cloak by doing a bunch of spore jumps around it to gather data, but this will be brutal on Stamets who is already suffering. Lorca reveals he has plans for the multiverse with the data they gather to Stamets and he can't resist the temptation. Burnham and Tyler get sent to plant the probes on the Klingon ship of death while Disco bobs and weaves. The first one goes fine, but Tyler goes full PTSD and has to be talked down by a badly injured admiral Cornwall while Burnham plants the other probe.
She has to do so distracting while the data gets gathered and ends up getting Georgiou's badge back from Kol just as she, Tyler and Cornwall are beamed to safety. They blow the hell out of the ship of death presumably killing Kol and warp away. Lorca congratulates a shaken Stamets in the shuttle bay and nudges him into one last jump. Just before they jump Lorca hits an override button and something goes wrong with the jump. Instead of the starbase the only see rubble, Klingon rubble!
A good, but not super memorable episode. The Burnham fight while Discovery jumps around and Stamets almost dies is definitely the highlight of the episode.
