The Butcher's Knife Cares Not for the Lamb's Cry

The Dilithium Mining operation on Corovan II is under attack by the Klingons and Discovery hasn’t long to get its Displacement Activated Spore Hub Drive or DASH drive operational. While this eludes the crew, we also find Voq and L’Rell and the crew of T’Kuvma’s ship starving and adrift for 6 months in Federation space (completely vulnerable but also completely safe somehow) Suddenly Kol the leader of another house appears and uses his charms and food to take over the ship and obtain cloaking technology To motivate the crew Captain Lorca takes some extreme measures and it works, but at a cost, we see some of the crew making rash decisions but ultimately it leads to success and the Discovery defeats the threat. The episode ends with Voq abandoned in disgrace with nothing left to loose and suddenly he finds himself taking a dubious offer by L’rell and Burnham gets an unexpected visit from her former captain in the form of a death note.
